Why People in Austin Still Choose VHS to DVD Transfer

What Tape Formats Can Go to DVD?
📼 VHS / VHS-C
The most common format we see. Full-size VHS and compact VHS-C cassettes. Both transfer perfectly to DVD.
📹 Hi8 / Video8 / Digital8
Sony's camcorder family from the late '80s through 2000s. We have professional playback decks for all three.
🎥 MiniDV / MicroDV
Small digital camcorder tapes popular from 1995–2010. Already digital, so the transfer is exceptionally clean.
📦 Betamax
Sony's home video format from the early '80s. Less common, but we have the decks.
🔧 Professional Formats
Betacam SP, U-matic, DVCPRO, DVCAM — if you have professional or industrial tapes, we handle those too.
❓ Not Sure?
Text us a photo of your tape at (512) 518-3188 and we'll identify it for you.
How DVD Transfer Works
Drop Off
Book an appointment and bring your tapes. We confirm formats, tape count, and whether you want Basic or Enhanced. You get a quote before we start.
Transfer
Each tape is played on a professional deck with time-base correction, captured digitally, then authored to DVD with your chosen menu style.
Pick Up
We text you when it's done (usually 1–3 days). Pick up your DVDs and original tapes. Done.
DVD Transfer Questions
How many tapes fit on one DVD?
One tape per DVD is standard. DVDs hold about 2 hours of video at full quality. For shorter tapes, we can combine multiple onto one disc — just ask at drop-off.
Will my DVD work in my car, laptop, or old player?
Yes. We author standard DVD-Video format, which plays in virtually every DVD player manufactured in the last 25 years, plus computers and game consoles.
Can I make copies of the DVD?
Your DVDs are not copy-protected. You own them. Copy freely for family members using any computer with a disc drive.
What about Blu-ray?
We offer Blu-ray as a delivery add-on ($18.00) for full 1080p playback. Ask at drop-off if you have a Blu-ray player and want the sharpest disc-based option.
What if my tape is longer than 2 hours?
Standard pricing covers up to 2 hours. Longer tapes are prorated — we'll let you know the exact cost at drop-off before any work begins.
