VHS / VHS-C / S-VHS

Transfer

VHS video tape was one of the most common video formats throughout the world until recently and is primarily a domestic analogue recording format.

• We have a wide range of VHS and SVHS playback machines that reflect the format’s history and wide use around the world.
• We have the flexibility, experience and capacity to work with very small orders up to large scale transfers and digitisation projects of archives or large collections.
• We hold spares and all relevant test equipment to keep our machines working to their original specification for as long as possible.
• We can restore damaged and degraded tape and own the specialised RTI Tapechek tape cleaning machine.
• We can digitise and transfer from VHS to DVD or any digital video format from 10 bit uncompressed Quicktime or AVI files to highly compressed H264 MP4 files for online, Youtube or Vimeo use.

VHS History

This size and format of analogue video recording was used across a wide range of areas, from home recordings, commercial film distribution, domestic camcorders, time lapse CCTV, semi professional news / footage gathering and editing and even audio recording.

Primarily though VHS was a domestic format and has been around for a long time since the late 1970′s. As a result there are still a large body of VHS video recorders around, although none being made new any more.
