VHS was the pinnacle of technology for home entertainment. In reality, there was the time when every household was complete without a large selection of tapes. From the latest films from cinema which could be your personal, to your personal family film collection recorded on the video recorder VHS tapes were a common sight in the typical British household.
However, all of this changed after the introduction of DVD. While DVDs (and eventually Blu-Rays) are now the ideal medium for watching videos, many remain with their VHS tapes. What is the reason for this over the years? It could be due to any of the three reasons:
Feelings of Nostalgia
VHS tapes can be a great way to take an excursion through time and it’s that feeling of nostalgia that stops many from updating their old technology. But, it’s crucial to keep in mind that it’s the film that lets us remember the good times of many years past and not the tapes.
Although reliving the past can make people feel more connected with the past it’s not necessary to sacrifice the convenience of watching the old footage. If you transfer VHS to DVD, you’ll be able revisit those memories and go on these nostalgic journeys, with all the other benefits that DVDs offer. VHS tapes can be easily damaged due to excessive playback or storage issues; when the tape is damaged the video is gone for ever.
It is possible to protect your precious memories by using a DVD conversion. Your film will be secure and will be available for many years to be. In addition, if you are unable to bear the thought of letting your VHS tapes be discarded entirely, some businesses will give your tapes back to you, along with the DVD.
Too Much effort
Another reason you could have an entire box of VHS tapes in your attic is that you didn’t have the time or the motivation to look through them. It’s normal, VHS tapes aren’t able to hold an enormous amount of footage, and you’re likely to have hours of footage from your loved ones that have been scattered across a variety of tapes. The issue with putting away the pile of VHS tapes stored in the box or in an old cabinet, is that inadequate storage space can destroy the tapes.
A damp attic could ruin or alter the quality of footage, making it hard to recover. If you’re looking to save your memories, you’ll need to have the courage to take out all the tapes and separate them. It’s not complicated, all you need in order to change them into an appropriate format is to send them to us to be converted.

False Hope
If you’re a lover of old-fashioned technology and technology, you may be holding on to the hopes that VHS will to life. Although old technology may be revived in big ways like the polaroid camera as well as vinyl players, it’s highly unlikely to occur with VHS.
Vinyl players are thought to have superior sound quality as compared to CDs. People enjoy snapping a photo and getting an instant copy. They have a distinct niche that has brought their popularity back. VHS tapes as well as VHS players don’t have the similar appeal. They’re inconvenient and in many ways contrasted with more modern video-based formats.
It’s time to get moving.
