VHS enjoyed surprising longevity for nearly 40 years, before the last remaining VCR/VHS factory was shuttered in 2016. For anyone who grew up in the 1980s–1990s and their parents, VHS afforded a love of film and television shows. Just looking at the colorful cases of Disney classics and other favorites can evoke powerful feelings of nostalgia.

It’s reassuring to know that all those beloved VHS tapes don’t need to collect dust in a dark corner of your basement – you can relive wonderful memories by digitizing them yourself or using a VHS conversion service. Keep in mind that VHS tapes can get damaged from both lack of use or overuse. With that said, in order to preserve precious memories, your best bet is to convert VHS to digital sooner rather than later.

FAQs on VHS to Digital Service

With the digital download option, customers are able to review the footage prior to receiving their originals back. We have had several cases where the customer has paid for their order and reviewed the files online and discovered issues with the transfer prior to the order leaving the building. They are still unable to delete any footage.

In order to get the best possible quality while editing, we suggest selecting the Uncompressed H.264/MPEG-4 Files option. This provides you with a much higher bit rate than the compressed file.

We retain the compressed version of your digitized video for a period after your order is completed and shipped to you. That allows us to make additional copies in case there are delays or difficulties in transit.

However, we recommend that if you would like duplicate copies, that you make those requests that the time that you place your order.

The video resolution is 720x480 , film resolution for USB drives is 1280x720.
