Convert your Favorite Films From Vhs to DVD

Memories and vhs tapes are not eternal. dvds can live longer. If your large collection of family movies and home videos is on vhs, you should consider converting it to dvd. If you leave it on vhs, it can soon die because the quality of vhs recordings gets poor over time. Additionally, if you play your vhs movies frequently, this wears them out additionally. So, if you want to save your vhs memories? hurry up and convert them to dvd. There are plenty of ways to do it. The process of converting vhs to dvd is not as easy as with most other formats because most vhs videos are recorded only on tapes and not on other media.

If you own a small portable video friendly storage device you can watch movies basically anywhere. This could be your iPod, Zune video, Palm or many other devices. If you have a dvd and want to use a video converter to make the video friendly for your little device, this is completely understandable as many different formats can be used from dvds to little devices. There are many programs that will allow you to watch a dvd on your little device. Videora is a straightforward video converter program that will get your dvds running quickly and smoothly on your iPod.

The easiest (but certainly not the cheapest) way to transfer vhs to dvd is to outsource it to a company. When you outsource to a company, you don?t have to deal with all the technical details of the conversion. You bring them your vhs tapes and after some time go and collect the ready dvds. This way you can quickly save your memories.

If you want to deal with the conversion personally, there are many options. As a rule, these options require a lot of time. One of the most time consuming steps is to capture the vhs video via an analog-to-DV converter. You need to encode the video in MPEG-2 format and author a dvd. If you would like to edit your videos, analog-to-DV conversion is the way to go. However, you should know in advance, that finishing just one hour of video will take you hours or even days!

Another option for vhs to dvd conversion that is a little quicker is if you capture the vhs video using a hardware capture device that will convert the vhs to MPEG-2. This limits the options you have for edit-ing, but one hour of video is one hour of work. Once you have it on your computer as MPEG-2, you can burn it to a dvd.

If you have your home video on your camcorder then you can simply attach the device to a standalone dvd recorder. This vhs to dvd conversion is simple and straightforward and will copy your vhs and create dvds for you. This version works best if you want your video exactly as it is, with no cuts or edits.

The options to convert your memories from vhs to dvd are many. Depending on your time, budget and the need to make edits, you will choose one way or the other.
