VHS To DVD Service

 

Are you looking for “shops that convert vhs to DVD near me”? Whether its for yourself or perhaps friends and family, look no further! We’re open most working days. We are willing to bet that, out of all the companies that transfer VHS to DVD, no one will take as good care of your memories as our Supaphoto team!                 

In their day, VHS tapes simply revolutionised the way in which we consumed film. Who can remember when they came out? You might recall that JVC led the way in the 80’s. In fact everyone spoke about the big battle – between the VHS format and that of Betamax. Well, the former ended up becoming commonplace in houses throughout the world.

Slowly but surely, the fun and affordability of capturing family memories and home movies on camcorders (also known as video cameras) became infectious. What was different though, was the excitement that bubbled up in knowing that you no longer needed to send your film off to be developed – as was the case with old cine film. Now you could have your cake and eat it! You would film your children in the park and one hour later, sit around the telly and watch it all back on VCRs with them sitting at our knees. Magical!

The tapes themselves were bought or rented from video rental shops. They literally sprang up in every town. Suddenly, if you wanted to watch a film that wasn’t at the cinema, you could do it. Some of these shops were enormous. Of course, if you were well off and could afford to buy the film and a cine projector to play them, you wouldn’t need this service. But 99% of people loved the convenience of renting a movie for a few pounds.

Home recording suddenly became possible too and that’s what’s probably led you to this page today. If you haven’t seen them, check out the early generation of personal portable video recorders. They were massive beasts within which you inserted your VHS video cassette tape.

If you still have (as most people do) old home videos that you or your family made in the 1980s or 1990s, it’s time to transfer them whilst you can. Chances are that they were JVC or Sony brands but as time went by, new brands such as Memorex, Scotch, TDK, Philips and Fuji to name but a few joined too.

Before you knew it, every beautiful little gem of your family life was being captured. From children’s sports days, your sister’s wedding or your kids running around the house leaving a whirlwind of discarded toys behind them as they played.

A New Dawn Breaks The Beginning of VHS to Digital Conversion Services

One day, not that long ago, somebody had the very bright idea of inventing a round disc – purple on one side. That was the day that the lighter, easier to store, sturdier and longer lasting DVD format was invented. You suddenly found yourself referring to your recordings as your ‘old VHS tapes’ and for a while clung onto your video cassette player under the television. But the days of this format were numbered. Gone were the days of constantly having the clean dirty tape heads and seeing your precious recordings being chewed up.

Common Questions

Supaphoto is 100% UK owned company that has been dedicated to this field for + twenty years now. They specialise in transferring VHS to DVD or if you prefer a USB stick that holds your digital video files. Perhaps you prefer digital files downloaded from their cloud? Converting VHS to DVD also protects your old tapes and gives them a new lease of life.

Depending on how well you store your tapes, VHS tapes will typically last between 10 to 35 years. The best thing to do is digitise your VHS tapes as even the best-kept tapes will simply deteriorate over time. Supaphoto is dedicated to digitalising home movies. This way you can safeguard your memories and ensure no quality is lost in the process.

Quick answer is that to convert VHS to digital, I would look for an established 20 year plus digitisation service near me for example.   At the end of the day, a dedicated studio could have over £100K worth of transfer equipment with which to get the best results. You can always have a go at doing it at home but it’s not easy to do – let alone to the same quality. The person’s experience will help get over any issues.

Our prices already start quite low (especially for the quality we offer) but if you give us a call, we’ll certainly see how we can help you further. We often collect at no charge on bigger orders too.
