Transferring Your VHS-C Tapes
Dad’s love tech… and they also love to film and embarrass their kids any chance they get. My dad was no different, he used to film me doing all kinds of things. From my first steps, to little league games, to tripping down the stairs in front of my whole 6th grade graduating class. He was there catching every moment, “future ammo!” he’d say, referencing a later time in my life when he could bust out an embarrassing tape of me for a friend, or worst of all, a possible girlfriend. At some point, he got tired of lugging around his giant VHS camcorder and switched to the hipper, more compact VHS-C camcorder. We probably had 100 VHS-C tapes laying around with all sorts of memories on them. Which is actually how Video Conversion Experts got started, I wanted to preserve the memories my dad worked so hard to capture at a quality level that my family could be proud of. So if you have a dad like mine and would like to relive and revive your memories caught on VHS-C tapes, look no further. Video Conversion Experts is here to help!
What Is A VHS-C Tape? How Is It Different Than A Regular VHS Tape?
VHS-C tapes are the compact version of the popular VHS videocassette tape. Introduced by JVC in 1982, the VHS-C tape was used primarily by consumers looking for a smaller, easier-to-handle analog recording camcorder. The recording tape inside VHS-C tapes is the exact same size as a regular VHS tape and can be played in standard VHS players with the help of an adaptor. VHS-C tapes did have one major issue, slackening. Early VHS-C tapes did not have any way to ratchet or lock the supply reel when not in use. Meaning the tapes could become loose inside the housing rip or become damaged from normal use.
Transferring Your VHS-C Tapes Before It's Too Late
By now your VHS-C tapes sitting in that dusty old box in the closet are 30 years old. Unfortunately, VHS-C tapes do have a shelf life due to the type of technology they use. They’ve probably started to degrade, shift in color to blue or red, and might even be damaged beyond repair due to that slackening issue we talked about above. Meaning your precious memories caught on VHS-C tapes are at risk of being lost forever. Now is the best time to get them transferred onto a medium like DVD or into digital files like MP4 or AVI. With a VHS-C to DVD or digital service like the ones provided by us at Video Conversion Experts, you can enhance your memories with advanced color correction and broadcast-quality equipment. Giving you the opportunity to relive your memories with your family and friends at a quality level that our competitors don’t even bother offering. At the end of the day, your VHS-C tapes won’t be around forever and if you want to relive your past with generations to come, Video Conversion Experts offers the highest quality VHS-C digitizing services the industry has to offer.
