How Long Does It Take to Transfer VHS to DVD?
Turnaround time to Digitize VHS depends upon:
- How much video is recorded on the VHS tape. Tapes length can be 2, 4, or even up to 6 hours. The videotape is played in real time, producing an analog signal to the VHS player output.
- The quality of each frame as well as the overall content, including audio levels. Eliminating trailing blank tape and ‘border flutter’ adds another 10-15 minutes.
- The computer power available to export the edited video to its final format that can be copied to a USB or a DVD. Editing can take an additional 10 minutes if sufficient computer power and software expertise is available.
- The size of the video which determines the time to copy to a USB or to cut the DVD.
- Employee efficiency, computer power, and current workload if using a professional service. Turnaround time can be a few days to a few months.
Can I Convert VHS to Digital?
Yes. While converting VHS to DVD is technically converting to digital as well, this usually means converting a VHS to Digital file that can be:
- Edited into the exact footage to be preserved.
- Shared through USBs, email, or the internet.
- Backed up for safety.
The process is virtually the same as converting to DVD except that the file is copied to a USB rather than cut to a DVD.
Where Should I Store My VHS Tapes?
Once converted to digital format, digitized VHS videotape can be stored on internal hard drives, USBs, external hard drives, and/or the cloud.
The best system of safely storing digital video while still having access to play them is to use a cloud service that automatically synchronizes with a hard drive. This insures constant backup to cloud services while also allowing local use at the same time.
