In the 1970s and 80s videotapes began to replace film as the primary media for capturing and saving home movies as well as more professionally produced programming such as broadcast television. While innovative at the time, many of these formats are now decades old and magnetic media such as video tape has a limited shelf life. Today the issue increasingly becomes the rarity of VCRs and camcorders to play back your tapes.. Transferring to a digital format guarantees you will be able to enjoy your content well into the future.

FORMATS WE CONVERT

We can convert virtually any video tape format to either DVD or MP4 file on a USB thumb drive. At best quality a DVD holds one to two hours so typically each videotape gets transferred to its own disc. Likewise MP4 files are transferred as one file per original tape, however USB thumb drives and external hard drives hold much more data, so a large number of transferred data can be put onto a single drive.​

Transferring a video to DVD

THE TRANSFER PROCESS

We realize the memories on your videos are irreplaceable, so we strive to treat all of your materials with the greatest care.  Prior to transfers all record tabs are removed and videotapes are rewound and checked for proper video and sound before the transfer process begins. Video from the compatible player is fed into a standalone DVD recorder or MP4 encoding unit, both of which use high quality hardware encoding for a superb transfer. All original tapes are returned to the customer along with their new digital media. Not sure if you want your videos in DVD or MP4 format? Check out this blog post for more information.
