I'm new to this area. I'm looking for information about companies or products that can convert existing Beta and 1" archive film/video to AVI, MPEG or like types of formats. Anyone have some information for me????

Yup! Optibase… about $14,500 toady will get you some great cards that will make really good MPEG stuff or ther are houses that Optibase is connected with that will dump MPEG 1… not MPEG 2 (Broadcast stuff) onto a CD-ROM Pretty neat stuff… You gotta look at delivery rates when doing this… ie. CD-ROM rates should not go higher than 250kbs… I have found that even stuff (video) you deliver from a hard disk has trouble at 300kbs… when doing ohter things in Windows… faster drives… New AV Hard drives… and authoring packages seem to make a lot of difference… Hope this helps!
