Video Tape Transfer to DVD

The time is now to convert your tapes to DVD. Tapes do deteriorate over time but most importantly the players to view them on are no longer availsble for purchase and most homes have changed to DVD formats for viewing.

We also work with most any tape format including: VHS, Betamax Tape, VHS-C tape (Compact VHS) S-VHS (Super VHS), 8mm & HI 8mm tape, Digital 8mm, DV or Digital Video tape and HDV tape.

Here's how it works

We time your tapes and log any information written on them. We will fit as much video as possible onto one DVD. We can put up to 6 hours of the higher quality formats (all non VHS formats) on one DVD. We put as much content on each disc as possible. We will not charge you for unused disc space.

From each tape we create a chapter on your DVD so you will be to easily access each tape from the main menu. We use the information from the written log to title the chapters. Or if you would rather we can number the chapters.

Broadcast Format Transfers

Betamax

Betamax (sometimes called Beta) is a home videocassette tape recording format developed by Sony, released on May 10, 1975. The cassettes contain 1/2-inch (12.7mm)-wide videotape in a design similar to the earlier, professional 3/4-inch (19.05mm) U-matic format. The format is generally considered obsolete. This format was far superior to the VHS tape but did not win the battle of the tape standards.We transfer all three speeds of Betamax tapes Beta 1, Beta 2, and Beta3
