Why digitize

Why digitize video tapes?

Almost every home archive, wardrobe and loft today holds video tapes: VHS, S-VHS, VHS-C, Video 8, Hi8, Digital 8, Mini-DV and 8 mm film.

They are among the most valuable things people try to keep and pass on to the next generation. The most memorable and important events are recorded on them.

Film is one of the earliest and most fragile media. Over time it loses its elasticity, old splices break and every screening causes new damage. If you want to preserve your memories, digitization is the answer.

Video tapes are a relatively young medium, but many people do not know that their shelf life is limited. After just 5–10 years old recordings begin to lose sharpness and contrast, and noise and interference appear. Digitizing video tapes stops this process and keeps your memories alive.

Tapes age quickly and your unique footage can be lost for good. Old recordings lose quality: sound, sharpness, contrast and brightness degrade, caused by mechanical deformation of the tape and loss of magnetization. Digitization is the best way to protect your valuable moments and make sure they last.
