| jrwren | VHS or Beta? | 00:27 |
|---|---|---|
| Scary_Guy | VHS :( | 00:28 |
| Scary_Guy | Beta was the superior format, but as we all know VHS won out because there was more porn on it | 00:28 |
| jrwren | is THAT what happened? | 00:28 |
| jrwren | oh, and the porn was on it because Sony wanted Betamax licenses. | 00:29 |
| Scary_Guy | wow, no wonder VHS won out then, fuck Sony | 00:29 |
| Scary_Guy | although back then I think they were a lot less evil | 00:29 |
| jrwren | sony just keeps doing that. | 00:30 |
| jrwren | MiniDisc | 00:30 |
| jrwren | MemoryStick | 00:30 |
| jrwren | DSS (what was the DAT alternative?) | 00:31 |
| jrwren | DDS | 00:33 |
| Scary_Guy | proprietary formats always lose out because lack of access | 00:33 |
| Scary_Guy | not to mention it usually doesn't matter anyway because of the analog hole | 00:34 |
| jrwren | hrm... wiki pedia page makes me think I'm wrong and that DDS was precursor to dAT | 00:34 |
| jrwren | actually, not much on the 80s and 90s formats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Data_Storage | 00:35 |
| Scary_Guy | I remember using old (at the time) CTR's in highschool, those were fun | 00:36 |
| jrwren | CTR? | 00:36 |
| jrwren | I don't think I know that format. | 00:36 |
| jrwren | I'm trying to remember the DDS audio player I played with at a store in the early 90s | 00:36 |
| Scary_Guy | oh I've probably fucked up the acronym | 00:37 |
| Scary_Guy | oh, it was fucking U-matic | 00:39 |
