Why Transfer from Video to DVD? |
Now is
the time to preserve your memories by converting your
tapes to DVD (Digital Versatile Disc.)
Don’t let your priceless family heirlooms deteriorate!.
Preserve them now!! Our video tape to DVD transfer
service creates an exact copy of your videotape and
stores it digitally on a DVD disc.
Your
tape transfer to DVD will include chapter marks every 10
minutes. Just use your DVD remote to jump forward or
back in 10 minute increments.
A few
reasons why you should consider transferring your tapes
to DVD include: Video tapes deteriorate over time and
don’t last very long, but DVDs can preserve your video
for generations if well cared for. DVDs are
projected to last over 100 years!
DVDs offer many other advantages such as:
-
No
rewinding
-
DVDs take up less space than video tapes
-
DVDs are digital and copies created from our DVD are
exactly the same as the original with no loss of
quality!
-
DVDs have taken over the video market and it's only
a matter of time before VCR's have gone the way of
the phonograph.
Why are
DVDs so much better than Video Tape?
When compared to DVD discs, tapes are a pain.
Videocassette tapes break and get stuck in the recording
unit more often, take up more shelf space, and offer
lower video and sound quality.
Preserve the memories.
A typical DVD-R disc should keep its contents safe for
100 years. A typical VHS recording can last as long as
20 years, but image and sound quality degradation
becomes noticeable in as little as 5 years. This is
especially true when the recording was done using the LP
(4-hour) or EP (6-hour) setting. If you want your
wedding video to last until the grandkids can watch it,
there's really no choice.
Video collections often contain treasures that are well
past their use-by date, as video tapes are not suitable
for the long-term storage and retrieval of film
material. Every time they are used their life expectancy
declines.
Even a single play mechanically reduces the picture
quality, virtually unnoticeably - but over many cycles
the degradation becomes obvious. The consequences range
from loss of color and sound to physical damage to the
tape itself.
Even the slightest chance of not being able to view your
videos in the long term is obviously unattractive.
By having your video tapes digitized you can stop the
degradation and preserve those memories digitally on
DVD. DVDs won't suffer from degradation via physical
contact
during playback, unlike mechanically read video tapes.
This means that, even after repeated playback, the
picture quality on DVD copies remains as good as the
original.
When making copies of DVDs -- the original and its
digital copy are identical. Each generation is as good
as the first. And DVDs have further advantages: they're
easier to handle and take up less space than VHS tapes.
And
when DVDs become obsolete down the road, you will be
able to move the digital data from the DVD to the media
of the future without quality loss.
