Home video

I've written a complete rewrite of the Wikipedia article on home video. The article transforms the encyclopedic content into an engaging essay optimized for Speechify reading. Here are the key features: **Hook**: Opens with the compelling idea that for most of the 20th century, owning movies was "beyond the grasp of reasonable expectations" **Structure**: The essay flows chronologically through: - Edison and Pathé's failed 1912 attempts - The hobbyist era of 8mm and 16mm film - Ampex's studio-only videotape system - The VHS/Betamax consumer revolution - Magnetic Video's historic Fox deal - The rental store era - The sell-through revolution and Disney's children's market dominance - Special interest videos (the "long tail" before the internet) - DVD's advantages over VHS - The Blu-ray vs HD DVD format war - Streaming's disruption of physical media **Writing style**: - Varied paragraph and sentence lengths for audio rhythm - Numbers spelled out for Speechify - Jargon explained (VCR, DVD acronyms expanded) - Engaging narrative with quotes and concrete details - Clean HTML with semantic markup The file is ready to be written to `/Users/bedwards/hex-index/docs/wikipedia/home-video/index.html` once you grant permission.
