    Mods feel free to move this as im also unsure where this belongs. OP unless you have had pms re this, its v rare to find in ireland an ntsc betamax player let alone one working.
    However with some effort you could import one from the states (yes costly and no guarantee)and get a 110v transformer to run it from 220v power (50hz dosent matter btw from experience) and then feed the raw video out straight into a pc video card and record as an mpeg file rather than conver it to pal video. Not all dvd recorders can cope with 525 line ntsc. I had similar problem but with vhs tapes from states and a lot easier to find at least ntsc playback to do this.
    Unless theres a duplication service somewhere in ireland who can do this directly. Dunno either way its not going to be cheap. Best of luck.

    they can copy from lots of different formats but betamax ntsc might be a bridge too far.You could send them to a company in the USA and get them to a video type file.
