There are many reasons to begin converting your VHS tapes to DVDs; not the least of which is the digital technology used in DVDs will give your movies a fresh, bright look along with providing superior sound. You may have already noticed that your older VHS tapes have lost some of their quality; with time, that is likely to continue. The first VCRs were made by Sony and the tapes were in �Beta� format. Then came along new technology and everything was saved in VHS format. Those people who have their movies on Beta probably have lost the opportunity to recover them. You don�t want to find yourself in the same boat. Sooner or later (probably sooner) VCRs will be entirely obsolete; you won�t be able to buy one if you want to. If you have not converted your VHS tapes to DVDs, you can suffer the same fate as the Beta tape owners. Many of us have store our most important memories on the old VHS tapes; our wedding day, our children�s baptisms and birthdays, parents� anniversaries, summer vacations and a great deal more. If this footage is lost because the VHS tapes wear out, or you have no way of playing them back, you may lose those invaluable images forever. There is no reason to run such a risk; not when all of the technology you need to convert the tapes to DVDs is readily available. Also, you can make as many copies of DVDs as you like � this is a good thing for a couple of important reasons. You can share the joy of your wedding day with everyone in your family and bridal party by sending them their own DVD of the event. What grandparent would not delight in having their own DVD of the grandkids participating in sports, acting in school plays, at birthday parties, etc? There is nothing better you can share with those you care about than the gift of precious memories. A great program, which comes highly recommended, for converting VHS tapes to DVDs is Pinnacle System�s MovieBox 9.0. What makes this program so appealing is the cutting edge technology delivered by their Studio 9.0 software and the hardware that accompanies it. If you choose to work with another program, be sure you are purchasing both the software and hardware you will need. If not packaged together, like MovieBox, it can cost you double or triple. If you have heard converting VHS to DVDs is difficult, you�ve heard wrong. It is not a difficult process at all and well worth the time invested. Once you�ve converted one tape to DVD, you�ll likely go on to convert all of your VHS tapes. All you need to convert the tapes is: a personal computer, a VCR, a device to convert VCR�s analog signals to digital, editing software, A/V cables and blank DVDs. A great program to consider using is Pinnacle System�s MovieBox 9.0. This package includes cutting-edge Studio 9.0 software along with MovieBox hardware. If you choose to work with another program, be sure you get one that includes the whole package � you need both the software and the hardware (like that found in MovieBox). Do not buy them separately as it will cost you at least twice as much and you will have no guarantee that they are compatible.
