The Technology of Converting Video Tapes to Digital
Video Displays
We need to get our old video tapes digitized before they deteriorate, and don't have the time or equipment to do it myself.
We trust DPSDAVE as they have a fair price, great reviews and know how to do this.
The display you use to view your digitized video tapes makes a big difference.
Lets make sure expectations align with what you'll get.
At the end of the day, you are going to watch you old videos on digital display. We will cover the details about what to expect, and how to get the best viewing experience here.

What to expect
Your digital movie can't be as good as the original
This would violate the rules of mother nature! Just like a photograph, every time you make a copy you loose something.
Your digital movie looks best on a TV
Televisions are designed for motion pictures, most computers are designed for text. If you watch a digitized movie on a laptop next to the old VHS playing through a VHS player onto a TV, the TV probably looks better.
