Videotape Transfers
Videotape Transfers
Transferable Formats: VHS, VHS-C, Video 8, Hi 8, Digital 8, Mini DV, Beta.
If you have a collection of old videotapes that contain precious memories like weddings, birthdays and family vacations, then now is the time to preserve them before it’s too late. Videotape does not last forever and even it did, many tape formats have become obsolete making it virtually impossible to play them. Transferring your videotapes to a modern, digital format will not only archive them for future generations, it will make them easy to share with friends and family as they were originally intended. If you enjoy making your own videos, our Gold and Silver videotape transfer services include copies of all the original video captures that can be used for editing.
