VHS to DVD Conversion Services
The picture quality of a videotape deteriorates each time you view it, and is also affected by electromagnetic radiation in the environment while it sits on the shelf. Videos are also at risk from videotape player or recorder malfunctions. Often, physically damaged tapes cannot be repaired at any cost.

Convert your VHS tapes to DVD now, starting at $35 including media, shipping and handling!
Our services are priced to suit everyone's needs. Every job starts with a $10 Administrative Fee. We do not charge extra for Media, or Shipping and Handling. You may calculate your job cost by adding the cost of the services below. There are no hidden costs.
Here's what you need to do:
Begin by purchasing one Administrative Fee Credit. Then purchase one VHS-DVD Conversion Credit of either Minimum, Medium or Maximum Service for each 30-minutes of DVD you want made. You can mix services on one DVD, since there is room for three 30-minute increments on each one, you could theoretically order one increment at each service level. Our competition does not offer this versatility at such low prices!
If you happen to have more than 90-minutes of good footage on a two hour tape of solid good footage, we'll have to use 4 increments of 30 minutes each to preserve it all. You start each job by purchasing (1) Administrative Fee Credit, and then (1) Conversion Credit for each 30-minutes of DVD at the service level you want. It may take any number of VHS cassettes to yield enough good video to fill a DVD of 90 minutes. So you are the judge of how many to send for us to edit and convert. If you only want one DVD, and send us what turns out to be more than 90 minutes of good video after we edit out the bad parts, you would purchase 3 Conversion Credits and we will stop at the 90-minute mark. If you send us enough tape that we get 105 minutes of good material, and you want it all, you will need to purchase a fourth credit to accomodate the last 15 minutes of footage that would not fit on just one DVD. This would leave you with a second DVD with 75 minutes of empty space on it. In any case you might consider sending a VHS cassette that you label "filler" which could be used to fill any empty space in your last increment. It's up to you.
After purchasing the appropriate number and level of VHS-DVD Conversion Credits, package your VHS cassettes in a well-padded parcel and send it off to us. Pay for delivery confirmation and insure it if you wish. We will produce your new DVD and send it back to you along with your original. We cannot be held responsible for damage while in transit, so it might be a good idea to make a copy of your tape just in case something happens beyond our control.
Act now to stop your memories from fading. Get media you can share with your friends without worry! Let us convert your videos to custom DVDs that will last a lifetime!
Step 1: If you agree to our Terms and Conditions, Purchase ONE Administrative Fee Credit for each job
Step 2: Click on your chosen level of service below and purchase your preferred number of Conversion Credits at that level:
Minimum - Our Economy Level of Service. We take your sequentially numbered VHS videotapes and transfer them directly to DVD in increments of 30 minutes each for $25 each increment. Your DVD will look just like your tape, but will no longer degrade with each playing. Each DVD can hold up to 90-minutes of video.
Medium - We will take your VHS videotape and edit out obviously botched footage, putting only presentable shots on the DVD. We find that most people have at least a half hour of wasted footage on each VHS cassette, either totally out of focus, or where they left the camera running when they thought it was shut off, stuff like that. So a good rule of thumb is that each 2 hours of VHS yields about 90 minutes of material worth saving to DVD. The obviously bad footage will be edited out and will not appear on your DVD. We add in smooth transitions where necessary to make scene changes easier on the eyes. We can add one opening title of your choice and "The End" at the end if you desire it. This service is $50 per each 30-minute increment.
Maximum - If you don't want to leave it solely to our judgment, you may also specify up to 7 cuts per 30 minute increment by specifying the minute and second each cut is to be begun and ended. Smooth transitions will be added where necessary. Also, you may specify parts that may be out of focus or botched in one way or another, that you want left in nonetheless. Maybe it's your only picture of that passed relative or maybe it's that UFO that didn't come out too clearly. With Maximum Service, YOU are the editor. We will take out obviously bad footage, minus any you specify keeping by time specifications. More than one program can be put on each DVD, space permitting. You may specify title names for each program if you wish, up to 7 per each 30-minute increment. You would have to specify the start and stop times as they are found on your original tapes. You can send us that information via e-mail, or as special instructions on the order form online. This service is $100 per each 30-minute increment. We would like you to keep in touch with us via e-mail during the whole process.
