The Video 2000 format definitely had lots of technological advantages over VHS and Betamax, including the dual-sided cassettes like the audio Compact Cassette. It was also first to pioneer truly automatic tracking and excellent trick play capabilities with piezoelectrically controlled video heads.
But, OTOH, as you say, it was plagued by "faulty functioning" because Video 2000 wasn't simple in its execution while VHS and Betamax were.
VHS won the home video market, but, interestingly, Beta won out in the professional video arena.
Betacam (based on Betamax, but ultimately not the same) became the industry standard in professional video while the M and M-II formats (based on VHS, but also ultimately not the same) ended up being abandoned.
so far I know the Philips v2000 was one of the most sophisticated video formats, and while it was plagued by faulty functioning, it was very good in terms of image and technology. The pre-vhs format launched in europe and some latin american countries

It offered the advantage of a higher luminance (grayscale) carrier frequency, which means a sharper picture; about 400 lines versus 240 for regular VHS on NTSC.
However, the color was still done using chroma-under-luma modulation, so the color is still relatively low resolution compared to, say, MiniDV, where color resolution is much higher to go along with the higher resolution luminance.
And, other than higher resolution, it was still VHS.
All cassette-based VCRs work like that: taking the tape out of the cassette to feed into the path, even digital tape.
Betamax used the U-load pattern while VHS used the M-load pattern.
In actuality, the M-load is more stressful because it pulls the tape at two points while U-load pulls in only one.
And, the tape would stretch and break only if the tape is sticky from deterioration of the binder or if the VCR itself is malfunctioning and is applying too much backtensioning on the tape.

Depends on the point of view.

what about the betamax, has the betamax won the format war?

Super VHS was good for what it was.
It offered the advantage of a higher luminance (grayscale) carrier frequency, which means a sharper picture; about 400 lines versus 240 for regular VHS on NTSC.
However, the color was still done using chroma-under-luma modulation, so the color is still relatively low resolution compared to, say, MiniDV, where color resolution is much higher to go along with the higher resolution luminance.

ソフトは今のVHSより小さかったがなw
どうも特殊なローディングのせいか、或いはヘッドドラムを小型化できなかったのだろう。
今のハンディイカムなんて、夢のまた夢...

Those devices worked the same old and no longer used principle: take out the tape from its cartridge and stretch it up so it can break.
