Video Conversion

Don't let your Videos degrade any further - convert now!

VHS, SUPER VHS, VHS-C, Mini DV, Micro MV, Hi8 and 8mm are magnetic tapes that can lose up to 20% of their video and sound quality within 10 years. Repeated playbacks will also degrade the tapes and reduce their video and sound quality.

Digital Scan Solutions Video Conversion service will transfer your videos from the magnetic tapes, we will enhance and clean the video as best as possible prior to writing to your desired output media (Flash drive, DVD or uploaded to the cloud).


                              Combining Tapes onto a Single DVD or Thumb Drive

If your video tapes are not filled up, you can mix onto a single DVD or Flash drive, although DVDs will only hold up to 2 or 4 hours of video. 

   

                                                                Tape Repair

A charge of $10/tape will be added to your order if the tape is required to be repaired prior to the transfer your desired media.


                                                            Sticky Tape Syndrome

Sticky Tape syndrome is a condition created by the deterioration of the binders in a magnetic tape, coating to its plastic carrier, or which hold the thinner back-coating on the outside of the tape. This deterioration renders the tape unusable.  Some kinds of binder are known to break down over time, due to the absorption of moisture (hydrolysis).

You can tell if you have this this issue with your tape as it will be obvious when rewinding the tape: tearing sounds and sluggish behavior. When a tape with sticky-shed syndrome is played, the reels will make screeching or squeaking sounds. 

The solution to Sticky Tape Syndrome is to "Bake" the tape at a high temperature for many hours to remove any humidity from the tape, then let the tape cool down prior to transfer.  A charge of $10/tape will be added to your order if the tape is required to be "Baked" prior to transfer to your desired media
