Betamax Tapes to DVD, Blu-ray, or USB
Betamax tapes, despite being better quality than VHS tapes, didn’t win the format war and are rare to find. We can repair most Betamax tapes FREE of charge.
We transfer your Betamax tapes using the highest-quality players which are regularly serviced to ensure optimum picture quality. A Betamax tape you may not be able to play at home may be perfectly playable – we are happy to check for you if you pop in and we will only charge for a successful conversion. We can even repair most Betamax tapes FREE of charge.
Prices start at just £11.99 per tape and reduce depending on the quantity you have. Scroll down for full price details, and to generate an instant quotation.
If your Betamax tape is under 5 minutes in length, then we only charge £5.99 for the conversion!

Despite being of superior quality to its rival, Betamax lost the video tape format war to VHS. Tapes ranged from 15 minutes (L-125) to 5 hours (L-830)!
Despite this, Betamax recorders continued to be manufactured and sold until August 2002, when Sony announced that they were discontinuing production of all remaining Betamax models. Sony continued to sell Betamax cassettes until March 2016.
