We salute you, 1980s camcorder parents: your sore arms, your heavy shoulders, your dilated right eyes, panning soccer fields left and right, zooming in and out with flair. During this time, streamlined and affordable technologies turned every American family into a home TV studio. We all began capturing priceless memories. Ballet recitals; bar mitzvahs; Dad’s famous water ski wipeout; vacations; and much more.
The effort behind putting memories to tape was time well spent, and now it’s important to preserve those precious memories. Convert your home videos to digital media before they are lost forever. These days, finding a VCR that doesn’t eat old tapes or an adapter for those non-VHS formats will prove to be difficult. Also, the magnetic tape inside video cassette cartridges begins to break down after 15 years—first in quality, and then the images themselves. No matter the tape format—anything big or small with a cartridge that stores information on tape—transfer them before it’s too late.
The handling of memories is sensitive territory, so it’s understandable that you’ve held onto your family legacy tightly.
Here at Legacybox, we’d be honored for the chance to earn your trust with our video to DVD (or thumb drive, or digital download) transfer service. Our technicians safely digitize over one million feet of videotape in our studio every day. Just say the word and we will send a crushproof Legacybox your way with pre-paid roundtrip shipping and tracking via FedEx. After everything is transferred to digital, we return all of your original tapes. Memories are priceless, but in the case of videotape, they are not timeless. We’re here to help!
