Good: Hauppauge WinTV-PCI with composite/SVHS in

Though, I suppose you're beta deck doesn't have SVHS outputs, the SVHS connector is a late 80's development. (SVHS has nothing to do with VHS, by the way.)

Best: Osprey video capture card

A tad expensive, no TV tuner, but a really good quality capture card designed for videoconferencing. The basic models can be had for around $100 on eBay.

Use the software that comes with the card for video capture, usually ULead or something like that.

Nero Burning ROM is the nicest integrated suite for doing this kind of thing I've used. It's got video capture software, encoding software, and will burn video DVD's.
