Betacam is an old analog professional video format once used for high quality recordings and broadcasting. It was introduced in 1982 by Sony. Now digital video is taking things over, so it's used rarely.
Why Transfer Betacam to DVD
There are lots of different arguments against this hesitation:
- Betacam is analog tape. As analog videotapes usually live up to 30 years, you can count how much is left for your home memories approximately. Nothing optimistic.
- Analog videotapes are sensitive to time, dust and other environmental impact. No matter if you watch them or not, they lose audio and video quality
- Betacam tapes take lots of space and are inconvenient to store.
Those who'd like to save their home movies in a high quality digital disc should transfer their tapes to DVD immediately.
Unfortunately it's very difficult to do it at home. You need lots of different hardware and software devices, time experience and patience. That's why there are some professional service providers that will transfer your Betacam tapes to DVD quickly and conveniently.
Choose the ones that have enough experience and have been in this business at least for a few years. Choose those who offer best prices for high quality products. The best companies will suggest you choosing from more than one DVD product with different features and price.
Be careful: if your videotape is in bad hands, it can be damaged or erased and your home movies disappeared.
