we've been planning on sending the Beta in to "Absolute Beta" in Virginia for either repair or a discount on a playing unit. Then to transfer to DVD. Let you know how it goes.By the by, why DVD+R and not DVD? I keep seeing "format wars" of sorts regarding dual-layer and as a Beta owner, are wary.
Also, what's a good program for doing the Beta-DVD transfer?thanks again, Dr Dave
Follow Ups:
Why DVD+R and not DVD? Because DVD (which is actually DVD-ROM) is not a format that a consumer has ready access to. When you record on a recordable DVD, it's either DVD+R or DVD-R (and the +/- RW variations of each). I have a cheap stand-alone recorder from Wal-Mart (the ilo for $149, no computer required and it even has a firewire/1394 port for digital camcorder input) that records in the DVD+R format on single-layer DVDs.As for dual-layer recordable DVDs, the best I've seen are available at $8 each. I picked up 50 single-layer DVD+R discs at Best Buy last weekend for $20: that's 40 cents per disc. Big difference, don't you think? Besides, there are currently no stand-alone dual-layer DVD recorders. Even Sony's upcoming stand-alone ($300) dual-layer recorder needs to be hooked up to a computer to burn dual-layer discs -- what a load of crap!
