>>remember Beta?

I certainly remember the Polavision System . It tried to compete with
8/Super 8 and it was a poor comparison indeed. Overall quality was terrible
and there was no inexpensive or easy way to make duplicates. It was
expensive and it died. Certainly, video tape played a part in its demise,
but video tape played a part in the end to most amateur motion picture
making using film. That was sad, but the costs were less with video.
