What’s Involved in Our VHS to DVD Video Transfer Service?

Transferring VHS to DVD has never been easier with the best technology and know-how available. Transfer technicians well versed in the newest technology can create premium quality DVDs which showcase memories previously stored on old-fashioned tapes and film. Learn what is involved in the process of VHS to DVD video transfer to decide if this is the right way to preserve those special memories.

VHS to DVD Transfer

The combining of multiple tapes to DVD can bring with it some challenges. The option exists to combine video tapes into one or multiple DVDs, depending on the customer’s preference. This can be useful for combining multiple tapes of similar subject matter, including transferal of all kids’ birthday parties onto one compilation DVD, for example. The only limitation is a 100-year archival DVDs hold up to 2 hours of video so each combined video must have an average running time of one hour or less.

Chapter Markers

Add chapter markers to a VHS to DVD transfer as an option. Chapter markers make the viewing experience more convenient by being able to hit next or previous buttons and find the right spot. This will allow customers to jump easily from one chapter to the next or return to the beginning of a chapter and watch again. Chapter marker placements are fully customized and may be placed in any scene or order of one’s choosing.

DVD Compatibility
