(Now seriously way Off-Topic...but aint it fun!) :-)
Hi Ash,
Actually, the "Beta" I was refering to in my light-hearted "Beta vs VHS
Debate" was the domestic "Betamax" available during the 1980's, which was
technically superior to VHS. Unfortunately, more consumers bought the VHS
format and Betamax was forced out of production.
The Beta I expect you're referring to is the broadcast quality "Betacam" or
"BetacamSP" or "Digital Betacam", which is, as you stated, dramatically
better than VHS (and Betamax, for that matter)!
Just wanted to make sure that I wasn't misunderstood about an totally
off-topic debate that laid to rest around 15 years ago. ;-)
Now back to music...
Which is better:
Cubase or Logic?
Roland or Korg?
Rock or Dance?
Now if everyone liked the same thing, wouldn't the world be a boring place!
Phil :-)

∗suppressing the urge to punch someone∗
im sick of the Mac Vs PC discussion.....everything you've heard is bullshit
about which is better-it comes down to how much money you have and what you
like.....you can have a better mac thats better than most PC's if you have
$5000 and visa versa......the only time i ever had problems with windows is
when ∗i∗ didnt know how to use it properly (with the exception of crashing
once in a while, which happens the same amount of the time with Mac-trust
me,
i work in a studio with about 50 of G3's and G4's)
and your little comment about drivers-wahhhh, so i gotta go download a 500k
file, woopdie do! at least i dont have to upgrade my OS ever 10 minutes
(so....how is OSX anyways? AHHAHAHHAHAHHA)
Now, on to Beta and VHS.....
the Beta that he is talking about is for production, not home use....Beta
∗IS∗ much better than VHS and is used by most news crews, etc (that arent
using DV)....The quality is much better due to the fact that it's much wider
than VHS, you can fit more info onto it....it's kinda like the difference
between 16mm and 35mm in film...
