They are\nincredibly accessible and can be played on a multitude of devices. Unlike VHS\ntapes that are limited to VHS players (that, as of 2016 are officially no\nlonger being manufactured), DVDs can be played in DVD players, on laptops and\ncomputers and even game consoles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people might be averse to upgrading their old tapes,\ndue to nostalgic reasons and fears of their tapes becoming ruined. Well, at\nVideo2DVD we have over 60 years\u2019 experience in the imagining industry converting\nall major formats, so your VHS footage is safe with us. Additionally, we will\neven post you back your VHS tapes along with your new DVDs so you can still\nkeep them and watch them if you want to, but safe in the knowledge that you\nhave that family footage backed up on a reliable format, should something go\nwrong.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Create\nNew Memories with Old Ones<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantage of DVDs is that they can be played on so many\nformats, and that means that almost every household will have some kind of\ndevice that can play a DVD. It makes family film nights all the more easier.\nYou no longer need to break out your grandmother\u2019s old, dusty VHS player to\nplay those home videos to show the kids, instead, you can go to anyone\u2019s house\nand watch your films on your TV with a DVD player or even on your laptop\nscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gather the whole family around to watch their old memories\nand create brand new ones for the younger generation. With a DVD transfer, you\ncan ensure that those memories are easily accessible to all, and you can even\nget an MP4 version so you can share them even further, with family members who\nlive far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.video2dvdtransfers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rsz_man_showing_video_on_his_phone-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Man Showing a Video on His Phone to Friends\" class=\"wp-image-1293\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.video2dvdtransfers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rsz_man_showing_video_on_his_phone-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.video2dvdtransfers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rsz_man_showing_video_on_his_phone-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.video2dvdtransfers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rsz_man_showing_video_on_his_phone-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.video2dvdtransfers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rsz_man_showing_video_on_his_phone.jpg 1624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>A Gift\nfor the Old and the Young<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone would love a DVD copy of treasured family memories.\nWhether it\u2019s an older relative who filmed the footage in the first place many\nyears ago or a child who perhaps never got to meet older relatives who feature\nin the footage, a DVD copy of family films makes the perfect gift for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Older relatives will love the nostalgia that seeing their old footage brings, and the kids will get a kick out of seeing their relatives on film from days past.
