there's an obvois solution to this problem.  most people already own a
VHS machine.  So buy a Betamax.  they're cheap.  i own one, since we
invested in the technology when it came out, and i am sorry to say
that BETA does have a better picture.  that's why it's used almost
exclusively in commercial applications, and why sony still makes 'em.
I have tapes from 198x that still look better than most of the VHS
tapes I rent today. the problem with that is you cannot rent beta
tapes anymore.  so i bought a laserdisk player, problem solved.
