VHS to DVD — Camcorder Digital Conversions
Over time, the quality of the video and sound deteriorates. By transferring your camcorder tapes and VHS to DVD, you can easily share copies of the video with your family and friends. Every moment you hesitate risks that much more damage. Family Videos on DVD has helped families just like yours, and you can even read their Testimonials and Facebook Reviews.
Tapes to Digital Video Files (As low as $11/tape!)
We transfer your tapes to MP4 video files (File size: ~2GB/hr of video). Your video files are sent to you via an Email download link (no charge) and/ or on a flash drive ($10-$30, depending of the size of flash drive needed). All digital file transfers include video enhancement (5 min for each hr. of video) by advanced color correction and gap removal – features not offered by the majority of our competitors. This service is ideal if you want to watch your videos on your smart TV or computer.
If requested, we can also provide your videos in QuickTime format (Mov) on an external hard drive. This format is ideal if you wish to perform your own video editing or if you wish to preserve your tapes in a high quality format. The size of the QuickTime video file is 12-15 GB/hr of video. If requested, we can convert your video to other video formats (such as ProRes, or Windows Media Format).
