The Betamax cassette was smaller, with slightly superior picture quality to the VHS cassette, but this resulted in Betamax having less recording time. The two companies competed fiercely to encourage others to adopt their format, but by 1984 forty companies were using JVC's VHS format, while only 12 used Betamax. Sony began producing VHS recorders in 1988. However, Sony stopped making Betamax recorders for the US market in 1993; they stopped production of the format completely in 2002. One reason for the market penetration of VHS in the UK were the sales of blank tapes by JVC UK Ltd to major Hollywood studios. This launched the nascent <a href="/wiki/Video_rental_shop" title="Video rental shop">home video rental market</a>, which was hardly touched by Sony at the time. This ability to take movies home helped the sale of the VHS hardware immensely. Added to this JVC stated in a promotional tape presented by <a href="/wiki/BBC" title="BBC">BBC</a> TV legend <a href="/wiki/Cliff_Michelmore" title="Cliff Michelmore">Cliff Michelmore</a>, that "You'll be able to buy the sort of films the BBC and <a href="/wiki/ITV_(TV_network)" title="ITV (TV network)">ITV</a> will never show you, for whatever reason".
