Converting Hi8 to Digital: Preserving Your Precious Memories
Remember making home videos with those big camcorders?
Tapes labeled “Jenny’s Birthday” or “Disney World Trip” hold many special memories!
But those original tapes won’t last forever. It’s time to turn them into files you can watch on your computer or TV!
Why Digitizing VHS & Hi8 Tapes Matter?
- Tapes get old: Tapes can get ruined over time. Converting them to digital format keeps them safe forever!
- Hard to find players: It’s getting harder to find machines that play Hi8 tapes.
- Easy to share: Digital videos are easy to share with family and friends.
- Lasts longer: Digital files are safer than old tapes. You can even make copies!
How to Digitize Hi8 tapes
- Hire a company: Companies like Memory Fortress turn tapes into digital files for you. They do a great job!
- Do it yourself: If you like computers, you can buy specialized equipment. Learning how to do it takes some time.
- Get a DVD: Some companies will put your tapes straight onto a DVD so you can watch them on a DVD player.
Tip: Look for a company like Memory Fortress that has done this before and has happy customers.
Fact: Over the last two years, 90% of our video customers have chosen the DVD + MP4 option.
