Betacam SP transfers in L.A.

[berlinfool]

Hi everybody,
my client just sent me these two huge Beta SP tapes with one hour of footage each to create a 30 second car dealership commercial.
Since my workflow is completely tapeless I have no decks in my modest little studio so I need help to convert them into something I can use in FCP.
Where can I turn to here in L.A.? The budget is pretty low, so it has to be a good deal.
Anybody?
Thank you very much,
Jan

Not sure if this would work with a beta deck, but you could find someone local and ask if you can plug your cam in the back of the deck and record to p2/FS100. Or you could rent one for a day and give it a shot...

It's probably best if you have the post house do it, but it might be kind of expensive.

Good luck

I don't have the camera, just the tapes.
