Securing Video to DVD

VIDEO TO DVD

If you’re like most people, you probably have a number of old videotapes lying around your home. Unfortunately those analog tapes won’t last forever. Much like the memories contained on them, they will eventually fade away. With help from us, you can  transfer all your old home video to DVD and save your aging media from extinction.

All VHS and camcorder tapes use magnetic tape to record an analog signal. Magnetic tape consists of a magnetic pigment within a binder. Magnetic particles within the pigment store all the video information. Over time the binder loses its integrity and begins to degrade. Resulting in severe image distortion and permanent information loss.

Studies have shown that VHS and video tape quality can deteriorate to an unplayable condition in as little as ten years even under ideal conditions. Furthermore, quality is lost each and every time your video tape is played.

Those analog tapes you have laying around at home won’t last forever! Now is the time to have a video to DVD conversion stop the degradation process. Unlike magnetic tape, digital files do not degrade over time. At Icehouse Pictures we specialize in preserving your memories digitally on DVD.

Evolving technology has left many of us with videos in older formats. Consumer-level analog video recording on magnetic tape cassettes were the standard during the 1980’s and early 1990’s. However those analog VHS and camcorder tapes degrade over time. All magnetic video tapes have a very limited lifespan. Research suggests that analog video recording will not survive beyond 15 to 20 years. A video transfer is the only way to ensure your memories will be preserved indefinitely.
