VHS to Digital Files (DV, MP4)

Convert your VHS tapes to high quality digital formats like DV and MP4 for easy editing, sharing, and long-term preservation. Choose from convenient storage options like hard drives or thumb drives.

Both DV and MP4 are popular digital video formats.

DV (Digital Video) is a lossless format, meaning that no data is lost during compression. This makes it a good choice for professional video editing and archival purposes.
MP4 (MPEG-4) is a lossy format, meaning that some data is lost during compression. This makes it a more suitable format for sharing videos online or on mobile devices, as it results in smaller file sizes. Kind of like a Netflix movie format. Big on graphics and small on file size.
