VHS to DVD in East Kilbride

Why vhs to dvd matters in East Kilbride

Across East Kilbride, many homes still have boxes of VHS tapes in lofts, cupboards and garages. They hold first birthdays, school shows, holidays, weddings and the voices of loved ones who are no longer here. The problem is that these tapes don't keep forever.

Magnetic tape slowly loses its signal. Damp Scottish winters don't help: cassettes stored in cold or humid spaces can grow mould and the tape can stick or shed its coating. Every year you wait, the picture and sound get a little worse.

The machines are disappearing too. Working players are getting harder to find, and old machines with worn belts and dirty heads can chew a tape in seconds. VHS to DVD moves your recordings onto DVD, a format that can be played, copied and backed up for years to come.

• Stops further quality loss from ageing tape
• Removes the need to keep an old player working
• Lets you share memories with family anywhere
• Makes it easy to keep more than one backup
