Not so dumb a question, if you don't read the trade press, both consumer
and industrial.

In a nutshell, Sony has developed a method of increasing the bandwidth of
the Beta video recorders.  Now they record about 240 lines of resolution.
The new method is supposed to increase that to about 300 lines and still
be compatable with the older beta units.

We shall see.
