I have an old Beta tape of my wedding. Is it possible to get this copied onto a dvd?

Thanks! :)

Most medium to large cities have businesses that do this. The problem will be finding one that has a Beta tape machine. You can PM me your location, I'm quite handy with the goggling, I could find someone in your area.

Sure you can, or someone can.

All you really need is a Beta Player that still works, and a DVD recorder, or as already suggested, use a copy service in your area.

Thanks all! :D I sure as heck don't have a beta player anymore, lol. So yeah, I would have to find someplace that still has one. *fingers crossed*

I'm happy that it's possible to do!

Thanks again!

I can't afford this, but if you hit the Lottery or have money falling out of you pockets and don't want to risk the loss in shipping or other errors out of you hands, you might check this out?
