Videotape Transfer to DVD

Stilson Video Services can transfer all common types of consumer grade video tapes, including VHS, VHS-C, Super VHS, Super VHS-C, Betamax, 8mm, Hi-8mm, and Mini DV. Often times, our customer's video tape to DVD transfer projects include more than one format which we can easily accomodate on our professional grade transfer systems. Each video tape to DVD transfer project is handled on an individual basis to meet your specific needs.

Not even sure what's on your tapes anymore? You're not alone. Stop in our studio and we can go through your tapes together to help better organize your video tape to DVD project. If video editing is required, we can certainly do that as well. Typical video editing requests include deletion of certain scenes and color correction.

After your video tape to DVD transfer is complete, it's time to label and package your DVDs. Again, we have several options for you to choose from depending on your needs.

Your VHS Tapes are Fading Fast

The VHS tape format was developed during the 1970's. During the late part of the 1970's and the early 1980's it formed one-half of the VHS vs Betamax war, which it would eventually go on to win. The VHS VCR was a mainstay in the TV-equipped living room for more than a decade, but has largely been replaced by newer technologies. By 2006, the United States had stopped releasing new movie titles in VHS format, opting for others such as DVD and Blu-ray.

Therefore, throughout the 80's and early 90's, VHS was the home movie format of choice. This means that in homes all across America, millions of hours of precious family footage lie resting in attics, basements, and closets. The problem is the shelf life of VHS tape is somewhere between 10 and 20 years. This means if you have video that was shot prior to the mid-90s, you are at risk of losing those memories forever. Sadly, once the images have faded, there is no way to get them back - the information simply doesn't exist on the video tape anymore.

Take Action: Convert VHS tapes to DVD

The best course of action to prevent a tragic loss of your family memories is to convert your VHS tapes to DVD as digital files.
