This gives you the ability to watch from your computer, or any device where YouTube or iTunes is available. Why do this? There are a couple reasons, first I mentioned above that the VHS tapes will fade over time, the second is to digitize them for storage and retrieval. Or just keep them on a flash drive or PC. You can then upload all your home movies to YouTube or another platform. Watch the DIY video and follow these instructions and you will learn what components were used and where to purchase.
Most people have home videos that you want to preserve but know that it’s against the law if you do this with commercial movies due to copyright laws. If you are like me, you probably have a box of VHS tapes packed away in your attic collecting dust.
VHS TO FLASH DRIVE HOW TO
Today we are going to look at how to transfer your old VHS tapes to your computer. This is what happens to VHS tapes if you leave them sitting for over 20 years! What’s more, any video stored on magnetic tape (such as VHS) has a short life span, therefore they can deteriorate over time. Enclose your completed form with cheque or payment details to the address above.The time for VHS tapes has winded down (no pun intended) and after decades most of us have a slew of home videos to transfer. Please make sure your tape DOES NOT have tape mould before sending.Īlternatively, if you'd like to order and pay by post, please download, print our order form.

VHS TO FLASH DRIVE MP4
Our USB sticks are playable on Laptops or Computers (Windows or Mac) only, even if your TV or DVD Player etc has a USB socket they might not be able to decode the MP4 Video files. Please note the price of £9.99 is PER TAPE to MP4 format and NOT how many USB Sticks are used, as the USB Stick is provided free with the conversion.Īll conversions will be stored on a single USB stick where possible.
Once your Video tape is converted to MP4 you will be able to edit it yourself and even upload it to YouTube or send it to friends and family members via any file sharing service such as Dropbox or email. With each playback, image quality is degraded and analogue technology is growing in incompatibly with new DVD players and devices. Older tapes were never designed to see more than 20 years of usage.
Preserve your video memories with our High-Quality Mini DV, Hi8, VHS, VHS-C or Video 8 to digital MP4 conversion service.
