- Sony SL-5200 Betamax VCR, 1983 - The Betamax video format was a major contender in the complicated world of early video players. Sony's Betamax and JVC's VHS, two incompatible standards for home video playback and recording, were both popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s, among other systems. Despite Beta's picture video quality, VHS's longer recording time and marketing might helped it become the video standard by the mid-1980s.
