? Good to know

What affects VHS transfer quality?

Digitization preserves the picture and sound that are available on the source tape; it cannot create detail that was never recorded. Tape age, storage history, recording quality, playback wear, and physical condition can all affect the result.

We work with the tape in the condition in which it arrives and do not perform repair work. If a tape's condition limits what can be captured, we'll contact you about what is possible before changing the project.

What happens if a VHS tape is damaged or degraded?
