Is there a way to convert DVD to BETA?

hello folks,

just a quick question - is it possible to convert a DVD music video that I made to beta tape? I was told MTV and other music programs only accept BETA format? I have no idea how to do so I tried to do a search and didn't find any help.

Appreciate your help folks,
my best,

When they say BETA, you need more info. It is most likely Betacam SP or DigiBeta. If you can get your hands on one of these desks, just plug in a DVD player & press record. Other than that, take it to a professional dubbing facility.

Hope this helps,

Jono!

You can record your DVD into a BETA tape deck, but your video will be greatly degraded.

Search for a Pro Video Shop around your area, and aske them if they have a Beta VTR, that you can use or rent to print your video to a Beta tape. You will either have to rent the deck from them, or bring them your project on a hard drive.
