What about Video 2000? The audio quality was so much better that when we finally switched to a VHS player I thought there was something wrong with the cable connecting it to the TV.

Never saw that one.

I don't think it was ever available outside of Europe, but it had some major advantages such as a completely bonkers 8 hours run time per tape, perfect still images without distortion, and the ability to reverse or fast forward without the artifacts you'd see on VHS and Betamax.
