What Is VHS Digitizing? Formats, Quality & What You’ll Get Back

What Is VHS Digitizing? Formats, Quality & What You’ll Get Back

Why digitize? Magnetic tape slowly breaks down—colors fade, audio warbles, and eventually the tape can become unplayable. Converting to MP4 preserves your memories and makes them simple to watch and share.

Supported formats

  • VHS / VHS‑C
  • MiniDV, Hi8/Video8, Digital8
  • Audio cassettes

How we capture

We use quality decks and time‑base correction (TBC) when appropriate, capture to a high‑bitrate master, then deliver a clean MP4 optimized for TVs and phones.

Tape capture deck Family watching digitized video

What you receive

  • MP4 files on USB or secure cloud
  • Optional DVD set
  • Files labeled by tape title/date

Turnaround & care

Standard turnaround is ~2 weeks with rush options available. Everything is handled locally in Kennett Square.

From a dusty box to watch‑ready library—here’s a simple plan.

Step 1: Sort & label

Group by event or year, then number the tapes (1/25, 2/25…). Sticky notes work great.

Step 2: Inspect quickly

Separate any broken shells; we can repair common issues.

Step 3: Choose your outputs

USB for TV playback and archiving, cloud for sharing, DVD for keepsakes.

Step 4: Back up

After digitizing, keep an extra copy on an external drive. We can create one for you.
