Off topic, but here we go again... The problem with beta was the 60 minute maximum recording time (initially). They refused to budge, and killed their own market in North America. Personally, I felt the overall superior format won in VHS vs beta war, even if over 60 mins beta had the edge for video quality. (Can you tell? Our household got VHS, not beta.)
I was too young to answer this and had lots of VHS tapes where i used them to record 6 hours instead of the standard 2 hours. Did people care about the quality of video back then?
