[14:36] *** VerifiedJ has joined #archiveteam-ot [16:00] I do have a betamax deck, but it is currently non-functional [16:01] my thoughts would be to get into betamax digitisation if there is sufficient availability of machines and tapes in your local area [16:01] for example, here in the UK, betamax died out fairly quickly, as home video formats arrived later than in the US, so by the time they arrived it was pretty clear VHS was the winner of the format war [16:02] and therefore decks (particularly working decks) are much harder to come by, and there's less "interesting" tapes [16:03] "interesting" => ones that haven't already been digitized [16:04] so it really depends on your locations and situation, in the same way that I wouldn't recommend trying to do Video 2000 digitisation in the US (Video 2000 was almost exclusively in Europe) [16:05] if you're talking about betacam and its digital variants, that's a total different situation, and really depends upon how active the video broadcasting industry was in your area [17:43] *** Raccoon` has joined #archiveteam-ot [17:43] *** Raccoon` has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection!) [17:46] *** Raccoon- has joined #archiveteam-ot [17:48] Thanks betamax. What do you estimate the summary costs of getting set up are, and the summary time to digitize and finalize a tape start to finish [17:48] *** Raccoon has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [17:48] *** Raccoon- is now known as Raccoon [18:33] *** dashcloud has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [20:07] I haven't done any betamax ones, because my machine is broken. It really all depends on how high your standards are. [20:08] if you go for consumer hardware and capture equipment, then it shouldn't be too expensive, depending on how difficult it is to find working hardware near you [20:09] if you start chasing "pro" quality transfers, you can get stuck in an endless cycle of costs, because you'll never reach perfection, there'll always be something that does a better job [20:42] !!!
