Flash still got it good.
Consider the entire generation of 1970s and 1980s Betamax footage that is basically lost today.
When format wars snap to one side: VHS vs Betamax, HD-DVD vs BluRay, Flash vs HTML5, QuickTime vs DivX… The losing side basically loses a ton of footage.

What content was released on beta that wasn’t released on vhs or later on DVD or something else?
I don’t think it’s comparable at all.
