Do you have your memories fading away on a shelf or in the basement? Analogue tapes be them VHS-C, VHS or 8mm have a much shorter lifespan than DVD due to their magnetic makeup though it doesn't end there. With common problems such as stretching and tape creases it's only practical to transfer your material to DVD and preserve them for years to come using our VHS to DVD conversion service. Dusty VHS, SVHS and VHS-C tape cleaning is available at $8.00 per tape.
Our VHS to DVD conversion method entails noise reduction, sharpening if required, image stabilization, bright & dark scene adjustment along with colour correction. The MPEG2 video bitrate is between 6500 and 8000 Kbps resulting in smooth playback with minimal artifacting. To see how it's done view our video conversion process.

Why DVD
DVD has become the defacto standard for today's home entertainment systems. The advent of such a format has given several advantages that analogue tapes could not. The first and most important advantage of DVD at a glance is it's longevity charecteristics unlike tapes which deteriorate over time. Secondly is flexibilty and customization in how you may place the data on the medium.
With DVD we may move directly to a section on the disc amongst other variables which are generally not supported by analogue tapes. Thirdly we have on DVD the ability to hold higher resolution video and a variety of different audio formats such as PCM, MPEG 1 Layer II & Dolby Digital. Consider your video memories today and ask about our VHS to DVD transfer service. Lastly the most important and final answer to why DVD is preservation. All analogue material converted to a digital format will not lose further quality, thus the ability to retain what is there is maintained even through multiple copies created.
Is it safe?
That's a great question as of course risking damage to your material just to have it preserved would not be too great! All of our SVHS and other players are kept clean and in tune to minimize the risk of any tape damage during the playback phase, so you can rest assured that the risk of damage while transferring your material is very low. For those tapes which had prior damage such as crinkling the risk increases though often is not a major issue.
