How Much Will It Cost?
Calculate your own video transfer quote online! Simply specify the number and length of your source tapes to find out how much your conversion project will cost. If you have lots of tapes, be sure to call us to see if you qualify for a quantity discount.
Write-Protect Your VHS Video Tapes
There is a plastic tab on the long narrow edge of your VHS video tape where the label goes. Protect your precious content by gently snapping it off with your thumb, prying it upwards. Removal of the tab will write-protect your tape, and prevent it from being accidentally taped over.
Custom DVD Cases & Covers
We can create a custom DVD case cover for you to give your converted project that extra-professional look. Great for a gift or professional portfolio DVD.

One of the reasons you should consider converting your old tapes to DVD is because they will not store forever. Whether you are talking about VHS video tapes, 8mm film, Hi8, or any of a list of other mediums, it will eventually wear out. As a matter of fact, even DVDs have a finite shelf life! Mind you, a DVD shelf life is about 100 years, and they are easy to copy. Also, since a DVD is digital, the quality will never deteriorate. So, once you transfer your VHS tapes to DVD, you have locked in the video quality forever.- Keep your tapes stored in a cool, dry, dark place.
- Keep your tapes away from dust by storing them in a sealed box. A rubbermaid-style storage bin is good for this.
- Store your tapes on end rather then stacking them.
- Watch your tapes before storing them, and label them carefully.
- Do not leave your tapes in the middle of playing. Rewind or forward them before storing.
- Exposure to sunlight will fade your tapes. Keep them away from even indirect sunlight.
- Always play your tapes on clean, well-maintained equipment.
- Remember that your VHS and other such tapes will not last forever - consider having them transfered to a digital medium such as DVD. The sooner the better.
