VHS tapes are great for taping movies or television shows
but they are a poor way to store video that you want to keep
for years. VHS tape heads wear out more and more during every
viewing. Videotapes also deteriorate by many factors such as
temperature, dust and time. Tapes as little as 10 years old
could be in bad shape from normal, ordinary use. If properly
handled, DVD's can last over 100 years and will not lose any
video or audio quality compared to the day it was first made. Transfer VHS to DVD if you care about your VHS.
Everyone knows how annoying it is to rewind and fast forward
to specific parts of a VHS tape. DVD's allow you to skip scenes
to easily skip over or skip back through the DVD to their desired
point. No more rewinding a movie after you are done.
DVD's are a lot easier to store than video tapes. They are
the same size as CD's so they take up less storage space.
Do you normally transfer your camcorder tapes straight to
VHS? Why not let Ottawa Video Transfer transfer them straight
to DVD.
Your old 8mm Super8 and 16mm film is deteriorating as time
goes on. Have them transferred to DVD before they are lost forever.
Don't worry about setting up your projector to watch your
old 8mm, Super8 or 16mm film. Have them transferred to DVD to
easily watch them anytime.
