Finally!!!

Hi Barry…..Thanks for your very stimulating answer to my question 🙂 I think dubbing to DVCPro50 is the best quality I can get from Betacam tapes….(Of course, using the HVX200 as a “passthrough” to the Firestore FS-100)…. I can’t test that b4, because the betacam VTR is in a goverment office and I have not access to it until the transfer date.

They will give me some takes I need that they have in analog Betacam tapes. So the only easy way I have for obtain the takes in the best possible quality is using my camera connected to the Beta VTR with S-Video cable using DVCPro50…..The other way is transfering to MiniDV with less quality…Am I right? Any recomendation about?

warm regards

DVCPRO50 is going to do a better job than DV, but the limiting factor in your equation is probably the s-video cable. Even so, there’s not a whole lot you can do about it, as the HVX doesn’t allow component input. You’d get better quality by dubbing from the Beta deck to a DVCPRO50 deck, component to component, but apparently that’s not under discussion, right? So with the HVX, dubbing a BetaSP tape, about the best you’ll do is going s-video in to DVCPRO50 on either the cards or a computer or firestore.
