betamax to DVD

[Team Loco]

i think this has been asked before but i couldnt find the thread. does anyone in Trinidad have the capability of transferring betamax cassettes to DVD?

Do you have a Betamax player?
If you do then all you need is a PC with a video capture card and a DVD burner.

I used to "fix" this by saturating an appropriately sized chunk of cotton wool in some isopropyl alcohol and wedging it between the tape and cassette cover. Then I'd put the cassette to run in one of those stand alone rewinders. My rewinder also had a FF function. A few runs back and forth usually cleared the tape right up.

Do this at your own risk eh.

Last Betamax movie I saw was Summer Heat. Could never find it on a porn or torrent site afterwards.

I coulda link you up if it wasn't a terrible time to be using work resources for personal means. You have a Betamax machine, at least?

sound like you either REAL cheap or REAL broke.....

being serious here...you just need a betmax player with RCA outputs and a tv tuner/capture card with RCA inputs and yuh on as duane said..alternatively there are betamax to DVD services online but from what i see theyre in the U.K

[Rallyfignis]

When you find one locally let me know - have a VHS that need to get onto a DVD

[fouljuice]

Check your nearest piper-dvd-store. (Not the pipers that are on the pavement/side of the road, but an actual store with computer and dvd duplicator machines etc.)
About 2 years ago I was able to get a VHS onto dvd. I don't think a Betamax would be much different.

[wagonrunner]

i has pci video capture card with RCA input, if allyuh want it borrow to do it yuhself.

[Team Loco]

YeH guys i know how to capture the video. I just need a betamax player. Thats the problem. The good ones on ebay are usd $200 plus

[wagonrunner]

now we know what you need.

Told my fam that those betamax players would be worth something someday, threw ours out a few years ago

Is it possible to physically transfer the beta tape into a housing of a vhs cassette? Or i remember tjere were actual vhs dummy tapes that would hold a beta tape

that was VHS-C



The compact VHS tape looked like a smaller cassette and there was an adapter where it would fit into in order to play it on a standard VHS player. The video format was still VHS though.

You cannot play a BetaMax tape on a VHS player. The formats are different.
It would be like trying to play a Bluray in a HD-DVD player.

[Team Loco]

Oh yeah. Now i remember. Tjanks duane. So far i am bidding on a player on ebay

HD-DVD was shelved in favour of Bluray. They don't make HD-DVD any more.

Plus you are trying to go from SD to HD which will require heavy up scaling. Might be better to go from Beta to DVD.
