Transfer Beta Tapes to Digital
Save your old shows or movies to preserve your precious family memories. Betamax to thumb drive, digital delivery through Legacybox Cloud™ or DVD converter service is the last hope of salvaging your video past.
Betamax (also known as Beta) was the analog home video recording format developed by Sony in the mid-1970s. Betamax videotapes are one inch thick, six inches wide and 3 ¾ inches tall. “Beta” describes the way signals were recorded to tape, and how it looked like the Greek letter beta (β) when it wound through the transport. They added “max” on the back end to suggest greatness. Then JVC created the smaller and longer VHS tapes to compete directly with Betamax. It was a brief dogfight, but VHS won the format war hands-down.
That magnetic tape in both formats began to spoil and deteriorate 15 years after it was made. If you have Betamax tapes that haven’t yet been converted to a digital file format, you could end up losing your favorite shows, all those classic music videos, not to mention some of the first home movies ever in the history of your family tree. Those videocassettes may sit around looking the same forever, but the information on them won’t.
We can help provide peace of mind with our Betamax to digital video transfer service. Beta tapes are being safely digitized and converted to thumb drive, digital delivery through Legacybox Cloud™ or DVD and digital files in our studio every day. We are ready to send our crushproof Legacybox your way with pre-paid round-trip shipping and tracking via FedEx. Let us do the heavy lifting.
After every last one of your Betamax tapes are transferred to digital video format, we will return all of your original tapes.
