Why Convert Videotapes to DVD?

It is a known fact that videotapes are only temporary, even if they are stored in the best environments. They start to fade in just a few short years and have a lifespan of couple of decades. On the other hand, DVDs are the next generation for video storage.

  • To preserve cherished memories from fading away.
  • For durability: DVDs are more durable and fade proof.
  • DVDs are convenient to watch. With a push of a button, one can skip to different subjects.
  • For sharing: copies can be made and sent to family and friends.
  • DVDs are easy to file and they take less storage space.
