Scrut Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Does anybody know where to go to get a Digital Betamax tape (as used by TV stations) converted to something a bit more domestic, please? Thanks

I already tried a half dozen and gave up! I'm hoping somebody here will know a company that does this and can recommend them.

Film and Tape Sales (FATS) in Melbourne and I think also Sydney, do such conversions. Cheers JB

Cheers JB <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks John - I didn't say where as I figured it would be specialist and may need to post it. And you're dead right about it being Digital betacam of course - just harking back to the good old days! We're in Melb, so that works out pretty well. Thanks for the tip.
