Why should i transfer VHS to DVD?
- Tapes wear out over time, even if they’re not being used, so as time goes on, the quality of the picture and sound likewise degrade. DVDs are rated to last far longer than the typical 10-15 year shelf-life of VHS tapes.
- As playback technology ages in one direction and matures in another, it will become more and more difficult to play VHS media on newer TVs with older VCRs; in fact, does anyone still have a working slide projector? This will soon be the way of VCRs as well. (by the way, we can archive film and slides to CD or DVD, too!)
- It is infinitely easier to make DVD copies than VHS copies.
- Tapes spend too much time collecting dust in cabinets and closets when they could be available to watch any time on the much more convenient DVD format.
- Once video has been through a digital transfer, it is very easy to share home videos for all of your family and friends from around the globe to enjoy.
