So how many years did VHS rule the roost? I think it may still be the longest lasting home video format.
THe shortest? Not Laser Disc or Beta. I would say Divix. Thank goodness! Or maybe the RCA discs which needed a needle to play them? Selectavision?



It has to be Divx. The RCA CED Video Discs lasted for 5 years from 1981-86. Actually the player ended a year earlier, they continued manufacturing the discs for another year.
