	Videotape format war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The videotape format war was a period of an intense format war of rival incompatible models of video cassette recorders in the 1970s and early 1980s.
		Players were less reliable than their VHS and Beta counterparts, and the format never gained substantial market share.
		V2000 was cancelled in 1985, the first casualty of the format war.

		Thinner tape allowed both formats to increase still further, and by the early 1980s Beta could record for 3h 15m, compared to 3 hours for VHS.
		By 1980 there were in fact three choices, since the Video 2000 format from Philips and Grundig had arrived.
		VHS however benefited from continuous development from all manufacturers (including Sony) over the years, and new innovations such as 4-head and 6-head technology, Hi-Fi stereo sound and the like saw it eventually surpass Betamax, making the format war largely academic by the turn of the 1990s.

	Format war - Wikipedia
		Perhaps the most famous example was the videotape format war of the late 1970s / early 1980s, between the rival VHS and Betamax Videotape formats.
		AM stereo was capable of even higher fidelity than FM but was doomed in the USA by competing formats during the 1980s with Motorola's C-QUAM competing vigorously with four other incompatible formats including those by Magnavox, Kahn/Haseltine, and Harris.
		Both formats were nearly eliminated with the rise of the compact disc, though 12" vinyl records are still used by niche audiences such as disk jockeys and audiophiles.

		The Type C format replaced the 2 inch "Quad" systems as the premium standard of the time because it was the first to offer many of the features in a videotape format that we currently take for granted, such as: viewable still-frames, slow and fast motion, and picture in shuttle.
		Although the DV format does reproduce images of very high quality, there are some noticable degradations in picture quality resulting from both the amount of compression applied to the video signal and the amount of data sampled in the digital file.
		The DV format compresses the video signal at a rate of 5:1, and the ratio of samled data are 4:1:1, which allocates 4 parts of the sample to the fl-and-white data (luminance) of the component signal, and 1 part each for both of the color portions (chrominance) of the sample of the component signal.

	US war crime at Mazar-i-Sharif prison: new videotape evidence
		Far less attention has been paid to a videotape, which is not only verifiable but has been shown on national television, providing new evidence of the US role in the massacre of Taliban POWs inside a prison in Mazar-i-Sharif during the last week of November.
		Such threats are a direct violation of the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war, as is the suggestion that Red Cross assistance—which means food, medical care and the possibility of contacting family—are to be permitted only for those who collaborate with their captors.
		Both the one-to-one abuse documented in the videotape of Walker, and the subsequent mass killing of prisoners by bomb, rocket and machinegun, represent war crimes for which the leading officials of the Bush administration should be held responsible.

		The format nearly became the 1" broadcast standard, but was eclipsed by 1" type C at the last moment.
		REMARKS: A very sucessful component video recording format, although the vast majority of users use the composite in/outs exclusively (This goes for all of the professional analog component formats.) Although the newer SP machines are a lot more common, a lot of users still use them to record standard ('oxide') betacam.
		The fact that this format has become a standard is remarkable in the fact that Sony is the only supplier of transports for this format.

		Sony has historically been notable for pushing its own in-house standards for new recording and storage technologies, which are often different from those of other manufacturers or of market trends and standards.
		The most infamous of these was the videotape format war of the early 1980s, when Sony marketed its Betamax system for video cassette recorders against the VHS format developed by JVC.
		Since the introduction of the MiniDisc format, Sony has attempted to promote its proprietary audio compression technologies under the ATRAC brand, against more widely-used formats like MP3 and Windows Media Audio.

		Now, in what amounts to the first major victory in that standards war, three Hollywood studios are expected to announce within the next week that they'll release some of their movies on the high-definition DVD format that Toshiba is promoting.
		Its Blu-ray format, developed with fellow electronics giant Matsushita (MC), is being pushed by a consortium that includes more than 20 companies such major consumer-electronics makers as Pioneer, Philips (PHLKFM), Samsung, Sony, and Thomson (TMS), and computer makers Dell (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ).
		Both formats provide far sharper pictures as well as vastly increased storage space, which the studios intend to use to provide interactive capabilities that will allow viewers to buy merchandise, play games, and call up bonus material even while the movie is being shown.

		The HD-DVD format had trouble obtaining approval because many companies in the DVD Forum support a competing format called Blu-ray DVD.

		Many manufacturers have begun to support both DVD-recordable formats, but such cooperation will probably not be an option for HD-DVD and Blu-ray because of the different technology each will use.
