Yes, this is a bummer. I had spent many, many hours on his site in the last couple weeks, and really got to admire his passion for this archaic technology. His biography (on his website) is long...

I hope Mr. Betamax is okay. Anyone here know him? I had been waiting about a week to hear back from him after contacting him through web-form and email, and then last night I found a post elsewhere...

I’ve had my eye on Mr. Betamax’s SL-HF2100 from the start. My concern is those touchscreen controls. Is it possible a 1991 touchscreen could be reliable? This project will likely involve getting...

Right. I don’t expect to salvage any info that was never there in the first place. I think playing/capturing in slow-mo is a great idea, since each frame will then have the best chance of looking...

Oh neat, thanks very much! It will take all my effort to resist buying some of those beautiful toys.

I really recommend Resolve over other commercially available software. Maybe you're already...

I love what you do. I guess I'm sort of unaware of the whole genre since I almost never go to concerts.

I've been casually interested in trying some of the LZX gear that's able to process...

SAMPLE FOOTAGE.

(I should have put this in my first post but didn't think of it.)

This shows a short sample of the material in question when I first tried to capture it in 2005. This was a...

You are completely correct, TimTape. In fact I also made a couple Super-8 film animations during those years. Those worked better, and were much easier to digitize!

But I was age 7-10 when I...

What a beauty! But I'd be concerned about buying a "Japanese standard" unit. From what I can tell, it plays NTSC-J, which was similar to NTSC but with a different black level. And it also expects...

Sorry to hear that. I've got a budget for this project, and am really just looking for the machine that will best handle the material. It will be worth it to me to get this stuff as clean as...

The SL-C9 looks great, but unfortunately MrBetamax has neither that nor its professional sibling (SLO-420).

My reading suggests that buying from MrBetamax is the only consistently reliable way...

Great advice, thanks. You’re attacking the problem a little differently than I was. I was just trying to get playback to go as smoothly as possible, but it sounds like your methods would harvest...
