VIDEOTAPE CONVERSION
All videotape breaks down, losing signal information, and this deterioration can actually result in the tape erasing itself over time. Tape also wears each time it is played. It is easily damaged if run through a VCR that has not been properly maintained. The recorded signal can be damaged when placed near magnetic equipment. It has also become much more difficult to find reliable tape decks for many of the older analog formats.
Today’s technology means longer lifespan, greater convenience, and more use of your family memories. Unlike videotape, DVDs will not wear with use if handled properly. In addition, there are many different
storage options for media files. They can easily be shared across various social media platforms.
At Retromedia, we have the ability to convert to DVD for simple viewing or video file for editing, archiving, and restoration.
