I've always read that Betamax's big flaw was that you only got 1 hour's worth of recording, so you couldn't easily record TV films or sporting events while you were away.

Supposedly customers preferred the "lower quality, higher quantity" aspect of VHS. I can see that.

Is that a myth? I'm a bit young for Betamax.
