I saw some Beta blank tapesin Dubai in 2001. The tapes were in 2-packs, and were a brand other than Sony, perhaps BASF or TDK.
Professional Betacam decks were in our ship's TV studio in 2000/2001 - I thought (incorrectly) they were 8mm. AFRTS distributed some video products by Beta, and that's why they had them, along with recording ship/studio-produced programs.
