    Transferring old beta tapes to dvds

    Anyone know any place where this can be done relatively cheaply? I know there is a place in Gardiner Street which charges €65.00 a tape I have some family footage plus a lot of old games which I recorded on beta tapes.

    Yes, it doesn't work. Do you know someplace which repairs them ?

    Other than that, it costs about £25 in the UK to transfer one tape. It might be cheaper to send them to the UK to get it done but would you really save that much even if that Video Copy Centre place in Gardiner isn't cheap.
