What is this old tape I have?
What are the different types of old video tapes? Formats we can convert to DVD include:
VHS Video to DVD/USB
VHS Video was introduced in the 1970’s/1980’s and revolutionised the way we watch TV and introduced us to the world of home movies.
Hi-8 Tapes to DVD/USB
Hi-8 Tapes are the second generation of 8mm camcorder tapes. Introduced in the late 90’s, Hi-8 tapes are a higher quality format of the 8mm camcorder tapes.
Mini-DV Tapes to DVD/USB
Mini-DV Tapes are the most recent form of camcorder tapes. Their smaller size meant a smaller camcorder was needed instead of earlier bulkier camcorders. We can digitise all mini-DV tapes to DVD without the need for the original camcorder.
Will these old tapes even still work?
In 15 years of transferring tapes we have rarely come across a tape that cannot be copied to digital format. Even tapes from the 1980’s can give a good image as long as it is stored well. Bring the tapes to us and we will let you know if there are any issues making a copy.
VHS-C Tapes to DVD/USB
VHS-C tapes or VHS-Compact tapes are the earliest popular form of camcorder tapes used by home movie enthusiasts. VHS-C Tapes used to be placed inside a larger VHS adapter for inserting into the video player.
8mm Tapes to DVD/USB
Introduced in the 1990’s, 8mm camcorder tapes were very popular for families recording memories together at special events and at home. We can convert all format 8mm tapes to DVD.
