Under Design's Digital Conversion Services - VHS To DVD

All videotapes eventually deteriorate and lose their recorded contents over time. Tapes that are older than 10 years may start to degrade. Amongst other problems, they can become sticky and jam playback units or become brittle and snap. It is recommended that precious footage be transferred to DVD for long term optical archiving, that won't deteriorate with age. Our rates are the lowest, starting at just $10 for the basic VHS to DVD Transfer.
