Pops got us a Betamax after studying the matter and concluding it was better tech than VHS.

Your pops was right. Betamax was far superior in quality to VHS. However, the film industry picked VHS and the battle was quickly over.

Beta was an industry standard in professional video until the early 2000s when DV and HD replaced it.

Still, technically a bad purchase by your pops but his mind was in the right place at least.
