What is Video transfer to DVD?
Video transfer to DVD usually means putting analog media to digital format. This action is performed usually to save old movies or other records from deterioration and vanishing. Video transferring is very useful because analog tapes are super sensitive towards time, dust and watching. For example, while you're watching your old home movies, the head of your VCR or other player is rubbing the tape and slowly erasing its content. After some time (it's said that VHS tapes last for 15 years) it's not possible to use the tapes at all because video and audio quality is so bad!
What are the options of transferring?
The most common possibilities are doing this at home or using a service to transfer videos to DVD.
Home-made conversions have lots of drawbacks. In fact, there are much more drawbacks than advantages:
- Buying lots of hardware and software
- Learning to use them all
- No fast ability to add or edit chapters and extra features
