Make Your Memories Last For A Long Time With VHS To DVD Conversion Services

By Amanda Wallace


You watch as your young girl, then just six years old, twirls on the television screen, performing her best interpretation of the Little Mermaid song, "Part of Your World." Even with the gap toothed smiles and also the mismatched and multi-colored wardrobe, you listen to her belt out strings of lyrics, some with made-up words, others just perfectly correct. While she gets to the chorus of the song, she positions having a sad look on the face just as if feeling the serious passion, looking at your camera and acting like she's overcome with longing. The screen all of the sudden turns a pixel-filled grey and you can barely make out the bedazzled tiara on her head and even the glittered wand in her hand. As the picture gradually fades away, so does your little girl's voice... until eventually all that's remaining with this priceless recollection is a mould-ridden piece of plastic. A part of you wishes you had transferred your videos from VHS to DVD format sometime in the past.

A few years back, utilizing a camcorder which usually used analogue tapes was the most used and most widespread method for recording your precious recollections. Camcorders were used for occasions like weddings, birthdays, reunions, and more.

Gradually, however, technology has vastly improved; first with the development of compact discs, then further development to the video CD technology to create digital versatile discs, or what's commonly called as DVDs today. Not surprisingly, advancements in technology never stop being developed, and nowadays, there are actually Blu-ray DVDs that can hold enormous amounts of data, especially when compared with the earlier versions.

DVDs, obviously, are able to keep data in top condition, provided they're kept properly and also free from scratches, breakage or burns. Analogue tapes similar to the video home system (VHS) cassettes of old, however, are not nearly as resilient. The magnetic tapes in these boxes of plastic are susceptible to damage, as well as every time you watch your videos, the tape gets scratched and damage. What's more, these tapes are susceptible to water damage, particularly if they become infiltrated by mould from long-term storage. DVDs, on the other hand, can endure these injurious conditions, as well as a little wipe by soft cloth can restore them to their pristine functioning condition.

Since most of your remembrances in the past have been documented on a damage-prone VHS tape, don't you think that it may be best if you convert them from VHS to DVD right away? There are actually technologies today that can perform this task without problem. While transferring your videos to DVD will not essentially give them the attributes of a DVD-recorded video, it will certainly keep the recollections protected for a lot longer.
