Videotapes have been in use for a long time. A few decades ago, they felt like a novel, cutting-edge technology that let you capture precious moments and replay the footage later on. Reminiscing over old home movies is always fun, especially when the whole family is present. What a sweet memory it is to remember your kids’ first steps and words! Then there are movies jam-packed with giggles, your kids’ antics, and even some of your own that were caught on camera.
Are such videos not worth their weight in gold, in your opinion? Most definitely! From your favorite childhood movies to the family home movies you watch together, those VHS cassettes can bring back a lot of wonderful memories.
VHS tapes are no longer relevant due to advancements in technology. Since the last VHS player was produced in 2016, the most recent blockbusters have not been released on VHS. The era of the tape has passed with the advent of DVDs and Blu-rays.

Many people still have old family movies stashed in boxes or decrepit basement entertainment stands. And while those movies sit stored away, most likely not having been watched in years due to a lack of playback system, they deteriorate, losing quality in the audio and video. But those videos don’t have to be lost forever should you decide to take them into a professional video transfer service. When old family movies are brought to professionals, such as those at Two Squares, the quality of movies can be enhanced and then transferred to a more permanent medium in order to ensure the preservation of the movie.

It takes a long time to organize the photos, navigate the computer/scanner/printer software and it still may not turn out just right. Why not leave this process to a professional group that can actually put your photos into a format that you and your family can enjoy for years to come?

They connect generations and allow younger family members to feel a bond to those they may not have had the opportunity to know. Important moments are often caught on film. Baby’s first steps, weddings, important performances at dance recitals and sports events, graduations, simple family interactions, the list goes on and on. Preserving these family artifacts year after year can be difficult. And as technology changes
