I recently had a company transfer some video I have on beta master tapes into a digital format (.mov) to use on a DVD. Due to my lack of experience with these things, I now have .mov files, but I didn't mention to them that I needed digital video quality or some similar codec, so the quality I now have is sub-par. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do myself with these beta master tapes, or what I can do with the .mov files to make the quality better? Thanks for the help.

Are you saying that the .MOV files are of lower quality than the beta tapes - or are both formats of equally poor quality?
"what I can do with the .mov files to make the quality better?"
Two old adages come to mind as being applicable:
1) You can't make gold from lead
2) You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear
Although there are many filters available for many editing programs, that promise to "smooth this" and "sharpen that", improvements, if any (actually sometimes WORSE than the source), are virtually non-existent...
You might want to arrange for the service to go directly from tape to DVD... -

No, the quality of the beta tapes is fine, I just want them converted into a high quality digital format to incorporate into a dvd. I would like to just be able to convert the beta to some format like to DV or straight to MPEG2, but I dont have a player for the beta tapes, and even if I did I'm not sue how to go about doing that type of thing.
Thanks for your help.Comment
