The technical craft of filmmaking can be learned in a few weeks. The conceptual and artistic aspects requires an understanding and familiarity with a lot of thinkers from centuries past to the present time. This takes a life time of study. Great filmmakers like all other artists have that rare combination of a more developed capacity for critical and abstract thinking. A good solid education formal or informal is indespensable.

Your best bet is to convert to dv/dvcam. If your dvcam deck has component inputs then you can play out of the beta deck and record to Dvcam.
