There were two VCR formats. Beta and vhs. The video store had to stock both so there was usually a wait and booking for new releases.

I know, I had both, but started with a forgotten format called Philips VCR which used cassettes that looked like this. Yes in this case, VCR was a format on its own.
Honestly there were a bunch of weird formats early on, but they all pretty much died out.
