Okay, so I was 14 in 2004. They wouldn't have ever used Betamax to do anything with Spongebob. May 1, 1999 was the day Spongebob premiered in the US (I still remember that day vividly). Sony's Betamax format was released all the way back in May 10, 1975, but by 1980 JVC's VHS Tape VHS format controlled 60% of the North American market. By 1986, the market share of Betamax in the UK was down to 7.5% and continued to decline further. On March 31, 1997, DVD players were first released for sale in the United States. By 1999 no one would have used Betamax to store any video like this.
