What's the Legacybox Difference?
Transfer VHS-C to Digital
and clunky, and captured video onto the unwieldy video format of VHS. They were essentially VCRs with zoom lenses and battery packs. While VHS tapes and VCRs remained the primary format for viewing the final product, the race was on to create smaller tape formats and smaller more affordable and easy-to-use video cameras. The new formats generally came with adapters that worked with VCRs so that they could be viewed in the family living room, or transferred to VHS.
Enter the VHS-C videocassette tape. At one inch thick, four inches wide, and two inches tall (about the size of a rubber duckie), VHS-C tapes seemed like a sleek compact car compared to the stodgy family station wagon that was VHS. What you gained in mobility on the recording end, you lost in needing an adaptor to play on a VCR or copy to VHS. Save yourself the time and don’t even try and go looking for a VHS-C to VHS adaptor nowadays. Nothing is going to play those old VHS-C tapes. Well, hold on, I can think of one thing—the video conversion machines in our Legacybox studios.
Never mind that the equipment to play these tapes is harder to find than mammoth tusks. Your bigger concern should be that the tape inside the VHS-C tapes is breaking down. It has already been going on for awhile. Magnetic tape begins deteriorating 15 years after it was made. The colors are fading, the edges of the pictures are deteriorating. It is only a matter of time before they are unsalvageable.
Our VHS-C to USB drive, digital delivery through Legacybox Cloud™ or DVD conversion service promises that the footage you captured from all those family outings and school performances will be replicated exactly as is onto the long-lasting, easily viewable and shareable format of compact DVDs and digital files.
.
Our VHS-C to Digital transfer service prides itself on handling your favorite memories easily and efficiently, and we communicate with you throughout the entire process. We start by sending you a crushproof Legacybox with pre-paid UPS round trip shipping and tracking. After everything in this file format and any other is transferred to a flash drive, digital delivery through Legacybox Cloud™ or DVD, we return your original tapes.
