No, although the tapes look similar Betacam SP and Betamax are completely different formats.
I would look into getting a Betacam SP tape deck off eBay, and a capture card that can capture an analogue component input.
I'm not worried about the capture card. I capture everything through my hauppauge at this point since I really don't burn DVD's any more.
I'm more concerned about the outputs. Most of the ones I've seen on ebay have XLR outputs for audio and I never saw Component Video outputs...but I could be wrong.
