VHS & VHS-C to Digital Conversion in Columbia, SC

Your family's VHS and VHS-C tapes hold birthdays, holidays, recitals and voices you can't hear anywhere else. Carolina Memory Rescue converts those tapes to digital files right here in Columbia, SC, so you can watch, share and back them up without hunting for a working VCR. Why convert VHS tapes now VHS is magnetic tape, and magnetic tape breaks down with age. Colors fade, sound drifts, and tapes stored in attics, garages or humid closets can grow mold or snap on playback. Every year a tape sits on a shelf, the picture gets a little worse. Converting now captures the best copy your tape still has.
