Most of us know that old video tapes wear out, and every time they break, there is a piece of memory that is lost forever—even when they are not being played!
Video tape works by recording information magnetically onto a thin tape that is coated with tiny particles of iron. As time goes by, the magnetically stored information degrades even when stored under ideal conditions. They hold the magnetic information for awhile.
Then each pass of the tape over the playback heads of a video player actually physically degrades the thin tape and wears away the tiny iron particles.
Temperature differences that aren’t extreme enough to destroy a tape still degrade it by stretching and contraction. Another problem is the magnetic coating on the tape itself was never designed to last anywhere near forever. Actually a decade is pushing it. So how old are those tapes you have? Time is running out to get them transferred!
Your precious memories transferred to DVD don’t rely on magnetic information that will degrade. There is no tape to wear out or break. The video information on a DVD is millions of ones and zeros making it pure digital. All of that digital data is burned into the coating on the DVD by a laser. When a DVD is played there is no contact with playback parts as there is with video tape.
DVD video can be played on any DVD player. Making it easy to share those memories with friends and family everywhere.
