If you’ve only got a few old VHS tapes laying around that you’d like to transfer to DVDs, is it worth it to just transfer them over yourself?
Transferring VHS to DVD video requires special equipment and software. The cost of these items alone can quickly eat up your project budget, and if you’ve never done it before you could be risking the loss of all of your VHS content. For only a few VHS tapes, it’s just not worth it.
It’s funny how differently VHS tapes are treated compared to DVDs. DVDs are carefully removed from their packaging and care is taken to keep them safely stored to prevent scratching or breakage. But VHS tapes seem much more durable, tossed around in their hard plastic cases and forgotten under the couch.
The reality is, VHS tapes are extremely delicate. Even if left in a drawer and untouched or unwatched, the quality of the data on the VHS tape will degrade. If the VHS tape is watched, the tape will degrade that much faster. Transferring your old VHS tapes to DVD video isn’t something that should wait – especially if your VHS tapes contain important and special memories like weddings, births or anniversaries.
To save time, money and most importantly, ensure that the VHS to DVD video transfer is done properly the first time to avoid ruining your precious memories forever trust a professional video transfer company in Toronto.
