One of the more noticable differences between beta and VHS
is the quality of the recording.  Use one source and make
a copy on both beta and VHS at the slowest tape speed.

Then playback and compare clarity at normal speed and slow
motion or still frame.

The lower cost betas I have seen by Sanyo and Toshiba 
outperform the lower cost VHS units from RCA, Mitsubishi,
and JVC, especially in the still frame.
