The short version is:
1. Install a TV/Video capture card.
2. Connect the Beta player to the capture and sound card.
3. Capture to some file.
4. Create your DVD with your DVD creation software.

My family has it's many earliest memories saved to BETA tape. We have a working BETA machine and VHS player and DVD players. We want to convert all the BETA tapes to DVD. We have 2 computers with DVD burners. My computer has a plexwriter 12/10/32A. I use W2000. My husband's computer system has WXP with Cyberlink Power DVD and Sonic My DVD.
We don't have a unit that converts VHS to DVD or burns DVD from a TV set. We'd appreciate any and all advice regarding hardware and/or software required to convert these BETA tapes to a DVD format. We're fairly adept ourselves with the technology and don't want to pay someone to do this for us.
