VHS / VCR tapes don’t last forever. Your old precious home videos from years ago are rotting away in your storage boxes but they can be transferred to DVD’s so you can then install them on your computer and share them with all your friends and family around the world.
What type of media we can convert to digital?
We convert standard VHS, VHS-C and Mini DV tapes to digital or DVD format. Any other type of cassette we can do, ONLY if you provide the video camera for it to play back in. We have all the cables and adapters needed to hook it up to our system for conversion. If you do not have a working player, unfortunately we can not convert those other types of tapes.
Mini DV tapes | VHS-C tapes | VHS / SVHS tapes |
What we can not convert
We can not convert the following cassette tapes unless you can provide us with the original player in working condition.
8mm / Hi 8 / Digital 8, Beta Video cassette, MicroMV cassette
We can’t convert different Country formats, so if recorded in another Country it won’t work with our equipment.
Reasons to convert your old VHS tapes include:
1.Preserving the video in digital format so they can literally last forever.
2.You can throw away your old VHS player. They are becoming extinct anyway and when your old VHS player dies, instead of buying a new one, for the same price, you could have all your VHS tapes converted to digital so they can run on your computer or smart TV off your USB drive.
3.Easily make copies for friends and family using your computer.
4.Watch videos without having to rewind ever again.
5.Find a specific part in a video faster.
*Cost to convert VHS of any length to digital on a USB you provide is $25*

Details explained:
We convert your VHS tape to a raw digital format to edit and play directly on your computer. Be sure to tell us if you want it in DVD format for the television, and we will have to convert it and burn to disk for you which takes longer. Also, let us know if you are using it on a Mac versus Windows computer so we can provide the appropriate format to you.
- There are no emergency services available for this type of service.
As we wind down this service, (we will not continue once the VHS player stops working) we are primarily converting to digital format on a USB drive only. It’s too time consuming to create DVDs, especially when larger. Most TVs now can read pictures and videos off USB drives anyway.
