Yup, theoretically Beta had better picture quality. However, given the
sets most people had, and the use of lower quality recording modes for
longer recording times pretty much negated that difference in practice
(to get the same recording time in Beta often resulted in similar or
worse video quality compared to VHS at the same recording time).
