Format War Veteran

from Your Brain on Facts · host Moxie LaBouche

As long as we have had media on which to record our art, there have been competing formats. While more modern examples like Betamax vs VHS or Blu-ray vs HD DVD may leap to mind, format wars go back as far as the days of Thomas Edison and the first audio media, wax cylinders. We'll also look at 8-tracks, 16-2/3 RPM records, "self-destructing" DVD's, and a string of Sony failures.   Mentions: EngineerGuy Music by Kevin MacLeod Read the script.
