Video Transfers

Over the last thirty or so years, most weddings, graduations, births, kids sports and holiday get-togethers were captured on video tape. If you’re between the ages of 15 and 45, chances are that any video taken of you and your family was captured on some form of video tape.

Video Tape based recording (like all tape based recording) was a quantum leap forward in terms of its ease of use and ease of playback for professionals and consumers alike. However, video tape is a magnetic storage medium and absolutely will degrade over time. So far, there is no reliable method that will predict the life of tapes. An American National Standards Institute (ANSI) committee is currently considering development of a method for estimating Life Expectancy for tapes. Twenty years is a reasonable life expectancy although there have been reports of playback problems in tapes as young as seven years old. If you want to watch the video footage you have on tape in the future, our advice is to transfer those tapes to DVD now.
