Memory Keepers offers a professional, safe, and affordable Tape-To-DVD service that will help you preserve your cherished memories for generations to come. Please read our information below, and visit our FAQs and Pricing
pages.
What we do:
We convert and transfer any
VHS, Beta or camcorder tape (8mm, Hi8, Digital 8, miniDV, DVCAM, MicroMV, VHS-C,
etc.) to DVD.
All videotapes age. As the tapes degrade and picture
quality drops, it becomes too late to restore it back to its original condition.
We convert and transfer your videotapes to DVD, where they will not
degrade.
Why should you have your
videotapes converted to DVD?
Reason #1:Your VHS, Beta and
Camcorder TAPES are NOT PERMANENT STORAGE!
Don't let this happen to you!
These are scenes from a 15 year-old VHS tape, which was once clear and
bright.
Most of us believe that a VHS,
Beta or camcorder tape will preserve our cherished family memories for a
lifetime. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
According to industry
experts, VHS, Beta and camcorder tapes maintain their original quality for an
average of only TEN years!
This number can vary greatly depending on
storage conditions and playback frequency, but most industry experts predict
that magnetic tape (including VHS, Beta and camcorder tapes) will have a useful
life of five to twenty years, with some videos becoming completely unwatchable
in as little as fifteen years!
The degrading process may start slowly,
but it is continuous and the outcome is certain.
On the other hand, the
life expectancy of a DVD is 100+ years, with no decrease in quality no matter
how many times it is played.
If you want to share your favorite family
memories with your children and your grandchildren, we recommend converting your
tapes to a DVD format that will last for a century or more!
Reason #2: Get
organized, and enjoy your memories!
If you are like most people, you don't watch your
old tapes very often because it is too much of a hassle. You have to find the
cables to connect your camera to your TV, hook it up, figure out which TV and
VCR settings to use, etc.
In addition, unorganized videos don't get
watched, because the scenes you want are somewhere in the middle of a tape and
are too hard to find.
We can digitize and transfer your VHS, Beta and
camcorder tapes to DVD. You can pop in your DVD any time, anywhere... and enjoy
those memories.
We can also make duplicates of your new DVDs, so you can
share them with family and friends. Duplicate copies, stored at a different
location, serve as a backup copy to protect you against the loss of your home
movies should something happen to your original
DVD's.
