Preserving Your Memories Forever!
Video cassette recorders, or ‘camcorders’, were video recording devices which were extremely popular from the mid to late ’80’s only being phased out when digital phones like the iPhone started to be introduced. There are millions, if not billions of hours of precious memories stored on old video cassettes, often stored in cupboards, sheds and under the bed! We bring those memories back to life with our video to digital transfer service! The process is swift and efficient and no job is too small or too big. Some of the larger video cassettes ran for up to four hours, so the process can take time but the finished result is a shiny new, editable digital video file that can be shared, and stored for life.
Why Transfer VHS videos to Digital?
- Preservation – Once a video is transferred to a digital file it can be stored on a computer, hard drive or a solid state drive, SSD, and stored for a lifetime. Old video tapes can deteriorate due to damp, dust and the plastic cases breaking, exposing the delicate polyester tape inside.
- Editing – Digital video files can be split, combined, and edited, so all weddings and anniversaries can be stored together, or separated into differently named files. Those embarrassing moments can be edited out as if they never existed!
- Sharing – Digital files can be shared from computer to computer over the internet, either be email or a sharing service like WeTransfer (free for sub 2GB transfers). They can be shared using digital phones like iPhones and Android and uploading to video sharing websites like YouTube or Vimeo.
- Playback – The files can be viewed on any device, from laptops and PCs to modern TVs and digital phones.
