Converting Betacam Tapes to Digital: Best Methods and Tools?

[samuelethan]

Hi all,

I have a collection of old Betacam tapes and want to convert them to digital format to preserve the content.

Can anyone share the best methods or tools for doing this? I’ve heard of using Betacam players with video capture devices, but I’m unsure about the best hardware and software setup.

Should I go for a professional service, or is it feasible to do this at home?

Any tips on maintaining quality during the conversion would be greatly appreciated!

Send those out iMemories was the best I found for digitizing movie and video media but that was years ago and I don't know if they are still the top of the list.
