Convert VHS Tapes to Digital DVD

View Details

&#;Let&#;s go out and buy a new VHS tape!&#; said nobody in the last ten years. VHS tapes have quickly become an outdated way of capturing memories due to advances in technology. There are no longer many ways to playback these home videos and for that reason some people feel that their family memories have been erased.

Hold on...VHS tapes? 

If you&#;re still hanging on to home videos from back in the 90s, chances are they are VHS video cassette tapes, the most prolific format from the RCA and Sony camcorder era. The videotapes measure one inch thick, seven inches wide, and four inches tall (the size of a stapler or a small book).

After a brief battle with Betamax for home recording and viewing supremacy in the late s and early s, the VHS (Video Home System) videocassette tape became the premier home video recording and viewing format through the end of the 20th century. The novelty and affordability of capturing memories on hand-held camcorders and watching them back on VCRs led to practically every home in America slowly amassing stacks  of VHS tapes.

The Era of VHS to Digital Conversion

With the invention of the sturdier, more compact, higher-quality digital format (blu-ray DVDs, anyone?) and even further advances in technology happening shortly after, the VHS tape has become obsolete. Stores no longer carry VCRs you can buy to watch your old VHS tapes back on, and your old VCR may actually cause damage to your home movies.  

With competitive price and timely delivery, Goodi sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

If you don&#;t want to lose footage of those toddler self-haircuts, the home run swings, the pillow fights, all the princess parties, vacations, graduations, and celebrations, it&#;s time to act now. The tape inside your cartridges has already begun breaking down at the 15-year mark.

To keep your family history from deteriorating, you simply need to transfer those VHS memories to DVD or digital, using a high-quality video converter service.
