Beta was most often used by adult producers back in the day since it was higher quality than VHS. Even after SVHS hit the market, we were still editing and duplicating from a lot of beta vids from various distributors. I remember the Sony 3/4" beta decks were far better quality, durable and more reliable than their VHS machines.
VHS (primarily) won because betamax was limited to one-hour recordings. And VHS machines were cheaper for the consumer.
