VHS to DVD conversion

You might be wondering why you should have your precious videos like your  wedding, a special vacation, or your child's special moments on a DVD and not VHS tape .....

Did you know that VHS tapes are losing quality just by lying on a shelf? Each time you play a cassette, a VCR head is rubbing the tape, slowly erasing its content! VHS tapes degrade much faster than most people realize. Tape heads wear on the tape during every viewing and chemical processes are at work destroying your tape even while it sits on a shelf. Transferring VHS tapes to DVD is a permanent and cost effective way to guarantee a future for those irreplaceable memories.  

If you want your memories to last for generations to come,  DVD is the clear format of choice!

VHS Tape Disadvantages

  • Quality degrades with each playback 
  • Tapes can be easily damaged by VCR's
  • Quality degrades over the years even if the tapes are not played
  • Analog technology is old technology
