Started doing exactly the same thing with my son 3 months ago. We have a lot of hours on beta NTSC and some in PAL on same beta tapes with the kids 5 years and so.
I have some sync problems on NTSC but PAL works fine.
But considering the tapes are from 1984 and upwards that is to be expected I guess... I have 2 NTSC beta recorders, both Sony.
One is a universal beta/pal/secam and not tried as yet, a 100v Japanese unit, which I will now try after I got a 50Watt 100v converter.
The tapes play OK on TV after warming up 2-3 minutes but the video capture is the problem.
Getting that stuff preserved on DVD is the way to go and I consider myself very lucky that those cassettes still worked. Tried them last time 6-7 years ago or so...
