Transfer Your VHS-Tapes To DVD! WHY?

Short life: Tape has a very limited life Wear: Each tape play shortens the life of the tape Machines "eat" tape Long life: DVD's have a shelf life of over 100 years No wear: DVD's can be played back an unlimited number   of times

Go back --- way back to when your Dad first started taking home movies with that movie camera that you had to send the film in to get developed.  Now think back again to when you started taking pictures of your kids with your first video camcorder. When you realize how long long ago that was, you may wonder about whatever happened to those old movie reels taken of you when you were just a kid, or of your first dog, or Mom and Dad’s 25^th anniversary … or even more recently your own kid's first birthday--the same kid who graduates this spring.

If you've have old movie reels or VHS tapes with valuable memories stashed away in a closet somewhere and all but forgotten, it's high time you start thinking about a way to preserve them--because they won’t last forever.

The old reels will start to go at 25 years and the color will become, well, “iffy”.  When it comes to long-term storage, consumer-grade VHS tapes are probably NOT the best either. Grab a VHS tape that you made in the 1980s--or even the mid-1990s--and you'll likely notice a good deal of deterioration in the picture’s quality. VHS tapes have a shelf life in the neighborhood of 30 years, but the signs of degradation start to become apparent after five years or so.

And with the popularity of DVD players, those home movies are probably one of the few reasons left to even own a VCR anymore. So why not give yourself a reason to get rid of it? Transfer them to DVDs!  And let CPN do it for you! 

What a great gift too! For an Anniversary, birthday (the BIG 50 for example), graduation present, wedding!!!  Getting it all on DVD is just a great gift the will give for years to come!
