Video to DVD Conversion Services
There are three main reasons for transferring your videotapes to DVDs, HDD or other digital movie formats. The first, and most obvious, is the obsolescence of magnetic tape media and the machines needed to play them such as a VRC. The second reason is that transfer to digital will allow you to resurrect the old home movies and memories stored on your videotapes utilizing today's media and technology (computers, DVD players, social media, YouTube). The last and most important reason, however, is that like all magnetic media, video tapes have a limited life expectancy - one likely much shorter than originally thought. Naturally occurring chemical processes cause degeneration of the tape and the information stored on it over time and can even cause playing problems that may damage the tape permanently.
Depending on how your videotapes have been stored and handled, how often they have been played, the original quality of the tape itself and other factors, videotape lifespan may only be a maximum of 20-30 years and as little as only 8-15 years. This fact makes video to DVD conversion essential in order to ensure the preservation of the special moments and memories captured on video in your life and your family's history. |

Family Videos Transferred to DVDs

5/5 stars
"I can't say enough positive comments about Click Scan Share here in Saratoga! Bill, Ramona, and Lai are the BEST! They understand how precious your photos and videos are and you feel that genuine concern every time you walk in and see them. Whether you're placing a small or large order, they continually go above and beyond to make sure you're happy. I recently had many of our family videos transferred to DVDs and not only was the quality superb, but each and every DVD was labeled and cross referenced to its original matching tape. I completely trust the team here at Click Scan Share . . . They're as nice as can be, honest, knowledgeable, professional, and experienced. I highly recommend them for any of your photo needs!"
