My guess would be reel-to-reel movie film,
and reel to reel magnetic recording tape.

Betamax was a better system, from a technical point of view. It still exists. It's used by professionals e.g police and broadcasters. Unfortunately VHS got a bigger share of the domestic market. In Britain that was because the rental companies used that system: when people stopped renting the VCRs, on the prices coming down, and bought their own machines they bought VHS.
