If you want to trade with friends, then what do THEY use? If you want lots of movies - you probably would be better off with VHS. (here, beta movies are hard to find) If you want super high quality GET A LASER DISK !!! If you want to be compatible in the long term, don't worry, all of the Japan-based video companies have standardized on the next wave of VCRs -- and it's 1/4 inch! If you must record, and sit around worrying about S/N and how many times you can dub a tape - GET A 3/4" or 1" deck. All of this flaming is a waste of everyone's time. Enough said.
