Import recordings 2. Adjust it individually 3. Experience it on TV. Life expectancy of VHS recordings. Do you still own recordings on VHS cassettes? Precious memories that you can't afford to lose? Then do something about it - fast. Tape recordings are anything but safe: The average life expectancy for VHS cassettes amounts to around 15 years, and that's in optimum storage (protected from light, low moisture levels, and constant temperature). The magnetic layer slowly deteriorates until the tape is useless. And all this can happen at a faster pace if tapes haven't been stored in the best possible conditions. Quality loss through use. Analog video technology has other risks and problems: Just playing your videotapes diminishes the potency of the magnetic layer. Usage alone destroys the image quality of your recordings. Brightness, contrast, and color become weaker and weaker, and even image distortions can develop. Tape salad and magnets Everyone is familiar with the error message that appears on your recorder's display, and when you try to get the tape back out of the machine, the tape remains stuck inside. Classic tape salad scenario. Not much fun if you were just about to watch your honeymoon again ¿ it's been destroyed. Even a simple magnet, e.g. speaker boxes, can irreparably damage your videos. The magnetic tape is influenced by the magnetism just like a credit card, and the data contained is made unreadable. Obsolete technology DVD players are more or less in every household these days. DVD's have become the best selling video recording medium. Compared to VHS recorders, analog video cameras, and the corresponding magnetic tape are hardly produced anymore. In case items become damaged, it's not worth it anymore to repair items. Soon, the VHS medium will be a thing of the past. To the rescue.
