Why You Should Convert VHS to Digital to Preserve Family Media
Many reasons exist why people want to convert VHS to digital media, mainly because it is more easily accessible on today’s variety of devices.
It also preserves family videos and cherished memories from degradation which can erode film and tape quality or destroy it over time.
Simplify the Media Experience
With changes in media technology, it is now cheaper and easier to convert old VHS to digital. Nearly all work is captured directly which allows for easy manipulation of the video and results in minimal to no quality loss overall. This provides peace of mind memories will remain safe.
Family Time
Everyone keeps hectic schedules, so it is harder than ever to get everyone around the television for a show, much less to watch old videos of times gone by. Time spent with family is more important than ever in this fast-paced world, which is why once your media is digitised, people can share stories, start discussions, and connect over favourite memories using the digital tools and devices they interact with on a daily basis, from computer and DVD players to smartphones and tablets.
Tech Updates
Technology is constantly evolving into smaller, better ways of viewing material. Closets of old videos are now on thumb drives and other easily accessible technologies. Older formats are obsolete which is why it is time to convert VHS to DVD. As time goes by, it will get more difficult to preserve the memories from degradation with the wear and tear time brings.
Deterioration
Most people assume memories stored on magnetic tape are safe forever. Recently, more people have realized why it is necessary to convert VHS to DVD due to the short shelf life of videotapes, which deteriorate every year even if not viewed. Precious memories will someday become unplayable if not transferred to a digital medium which makes the proper care of the material and transfer more important than ever. For images to last, it is imperative to convert VHS to DVD as soon as possible.
The sooner you decide to convert VHS to DVD, the better it will be for not only the material itself but for preservation of cherished, important memories to be viewed by loved ones now and in the future.
