Early on the VHS was in direct competition with Sony’s Betamax format, which offered a better visual fidelity, but was limited in its runtimes.īecause of this, and likely due to marketing schemes, where Betamax leveraged the prospect of taping live television to be watched at your leisure, the VHS collaborated with Hollywood to promote a non-existent video rental market, the lower costing VHS was embraced by the average consumer, who valued longer runtimes and entertainment over minor quality improvements. The reign of the VHS tape was short-lived however and by mid-1997 it had been completely replaced by the DVD. Sony reportedly would not let pornographic content be put on Betamax tapes, while JVC and other VHS manufacturers had no such issues. The brainchild of JVC, VHS was a popular consumer home video format developed in the 70s that would soon become the standard for commercial home use. It’s also said that the real reason VHS won the battle over Betamax was due to the porn industry.
#CONVERT VHS TAPES TO DIGITAL SERVICE FULL#
it was THE best investment in my life!!! I've downloaded them and for Xmas will be giving each of my kids a thumb drive with all of these videos.We offer a full suite of solutions to convert and transfer your VHS tapes into a digital file or DVD/Blu-ray format. I watched hours of these videos.remembering, crying, laughing, crying more. I have never had such an elated moment as I had when I got the email that they were done. I was actually scared that they would all be blank because I heard stories about VHS tapes doing this. Ordered their box, shipped them off and waited.
I had no way to share these memories, they were just sitting in my closet deteriorating. I was scared to death at the thought of mailing them off to strangers but.they were doing me no good as they were.I don't have a VCR and my kids certainly don't. We had a house fire when the kids were small and these were the only recorded memories that didn't get destroyed.
I did this and am SO impressed and SO happy that just I had to share my experience! I had 19 mini VHS tapes that were 30 years old, when my kids were babies.
