Enjoy VHS-C Videos Today and Forever
VHS-C was a great invention when it was introduced. Tapes were smaller than full-size VHS tapes, the corresponding cameras were also smaller, and they would play on existing VHS players by using an adapter. These tapes were also a good competitive alternative to the emerging Video 8 format while keeping investment in VHS players.
It has already been almost a decade since the last manufacturer produced a VHS player. There are no new VHS players to purchase. One by one, used VHS players are disappearing, and soon, there will not be any options for playing VHS-C tapes. Due to newer videotape formats like DVCam and digital, VHS-C tape and the corresponding equipment have been extinct since the late 1990s.
People still have boxes of VHS-C tapes stored in their closets and have not watched them for decades. Viewing those old memories again required digital conversion. Seeing birthdays, weddings, and vacations again makes it worthwhile to convert to digital.
Permanently Preserve You Memories
Videotape relentlessly deteriorates over time. The mechanics of the video cassette, the magnetic tape itself, the adapter required to play the tape, the camera itself, and the VHS player all wear out with use and over time.
None of these problems applies to digital files. Digitized videos are susceptible to computer maladies. When properly backed up, digital files last forever. Digital files don’t wear out over time, need no adapters, and will play on your current as well as your future devices for the foreseeable future.
Share Digital Video Worldwide
One amazing benefit of digitized videos is the ability to share them. Cloud and internet technology enable simple video sharing around the world. Rather than sending tapes or copies through the mail, share videos anywhere in minutes with just a few keystrokes. The best part is that friends, families, and business associates can see them in minutes.
Save Space With Digitized VHS-C Tapes
While VHS-C (VHS-Compact) tapes are smaller than their predecessors, the space they use still adds up. We have all stored, labeled, and moved the shoe boxes and moving boxes full of tapes multiple times. Save digitized video files on existing hard drives, cloud storage, or USB drives that automatically move when you move.
Digitized Files Play on All Devices
Almost all of today’s devices play digital videos in standard formats. Smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, laptops, and computers play mp4 and mov files. Most devices play video files automatically and are designed for this purpose.
Through cloud technology, you can configure all of your devices to automatically synchronize with each other so that all of your files are automatically on every device that you use. Watch a video on your laptop in the morning, show it to a friend on your phone at lunchtime, and then show it to the family on the TV after work.
Stor Converted Files On All Of Your Devices
Converted VHS-C files, like any other computer files, MUST be backed up to protect them from unexpected damage to the device. People lose phones, power surges destroy TVs, and kids drop laptops. Valuable information, such as your investment in digital video, must be protected, or they are at risk of complete loss.
A great strategy for backup includes multiple copies of your video files stored in multiple locations. If the video is shared, you have a good first step towards trustworthy backups. For example, if all your kids’ childhood videos have been converted, share a copy with each of them and encourage them to store a copy on their cloud system as well as their hard drives.
Some customers with large projects use external hard drives to store their digital videos. It is simple, cheap insurance to make more copies for friends and family. An extra copy placed in a safe-deposit box never hurts.
If your converted files are just for your personal use, consider making a copy on a computer hard drive, another copy to the cloud, and the original placed in a safe location.
