VHS tapes are familiar to us all. They never gave the best pictures to
be honest, and are starting to look very dated today. Furthermore the
tapes degrade with age, and if your precious recordings are left on VHS beyond
around 20 years, there is a real risk that the quality will suffer. In
extreme cases, the recordings may be lost forever. Also VHS is now an
obsolescent technology for which players will not be commonly available for much
longer. Time to move your important recordings to DVD!
A few full sized VHS camcorders were sold for a short time, but most VHS
camcorders were of the VHS-C (Compact) variety. The format never really
caught on, but in the late 1980's to early 1990's, a few manufacturers sold
camcorders of this type. If your old camcorder was JVC or Panasonic, it
would have probably have used the VHS-C format. A handful of other brands
used it for a short time too. VHS-C camcorders are occasionally still sold
today, often as kids toys. The thing people remember about the VHS-C
format is that you could play the tapes in a VHS video recorder using a
(sometimes temperamental) adaptor cassette.
VHS-C
tapes could be played back on a VHS video recorder with an adaptor.
S-VHS, or Super-VHS is a higher quality version of VHS using tapes of the
same size. Several camcorders of this type were sold, and often they gave
very good results. Smaller camcorders could use the S-VHS-C (or
Super-VHS-C) type of tape, though very few of these were sold.
I can transfer all of the above types of tape to DVD, using expensive NV-FS88
and NV-FS200 Panasonic S-VHS edit decks. This gives us HiFi stereo sound, and is
connected up using S-Video signals to get the best possible colour performance
from S-VHS recordings.
Transfers to DVD:
Basic Menu, £12: Up to 2:30 hours on one DVD, though I can extend
this a little if necessary, with top quality pictures and sound. The menus
are limited to just a title, but you get a chapter point every 5 minutes so it
is easy to move around the DVD. Extra copies of these DVDs cost just
£3.50 each and are recommended.
Deluxe Menu £18: Up to 1:30 hours on one DVD, with top quality
pictures and sound. Nice menu icons showing what is on that part of the
recording, and if you email me with titles I will put them on the DVD for you
too. I place the chapter breaks at points of interest or new
recordings. These menus look like professionally recorded DVD films.
Extra copies are very cheap, just £2.50 each, and well worth taking.
DVD-ROM £15: Up to 1:30 hours on one DVD-Rom in top quality
MPEG2 video files. If you have a lot of tapes, VHS to computer hard disk
files start from just £7 per hour.
If you have a recording made on equipment from USA or another country which
uses a different television system, I can do these too at no extra cost, just let
me know. Not all transfer companies can do this, and even if they can
they may not be able to recover the HiFi sound track, but we do it all. We
can even do strange requests like copy to S-VHS in NTSC, almost nothing is
beyond us.
Options include transfer to MPEG2 files, DV AVI format files on hard disk for larger
quantities of tapes (5 or more), transfer to miniDV or even DVCAM. Just email
me for details.
How
to request a VHS/SVHS video transfer.
We have a new and
easy order page, just select what kind of tapes you have and supply your
details. I will then confirm
the price, or best guess at the price, and let you know the address to send the
tapes. Some recordings require particular personal attention,
just let me know of any particular requirements. Usually I transfer to
video-DVD but options include transfer to computer file, miniDV tape and more.
If for any reason you get stuck filling out the form, just email me and I'll
help you personally. It's a personal service I offer, not like some
of the big video editing houses. I understand that in many cases you will not be
able to tell how much material is on the original recordings.
If you want your tapes back after you have
the DVD copies (recommended):
Not
everyone
needs their tapes returned once they have the DVDs, but if you do,
please remember to include postage costs. For a single video tape in
the UK, this is just £2.50 For larger quantities, and tapes from
outside the UK, I will let you know.
Ideally can you ensure you send the tapes in a package which is
sufficiently large and robust for me to use to send back your original
tapes. Usually I will send the DVDs to you ahead of returning your
tapes, then when you've confirmed you are happy with the
DVDs, I will return your tapes. This way I can help you further if
necessary - for example you can now see you want a different part of a
tape transferred on its own or you want extra copies.
Some recent testimonials for www.video99.co.uk
VHS and S-VHS video transfers
“Many thanks for your prompt work and the well
organised way in which you undertook the task, always keeping me
informed of progress. The naming of the videos makes it really easy for
me to sequence them for my editing.” Large quantity of VHS, VHSC and Hi8 tapes transferred to DV-AVI files on hard disk. 04.02.12
"Colin transfered an old video to DVD for me, the
dialogue by email before. I posted off the precious video gave me total
confidence in him. I had regular contact and the DVD was back with me
within a couple of days. I have others to transfer and will definetely
be sending the. To Colin. I would urge anyone anyone to do the same. My
neighbour recently had the same thing done At a hight street photo
shop, they paid £80 and the finished result was very poor. Colin offers
very good value for money, speed and trust.

"Excellent service. The website was easy to follow & answered
all my questions. My initial email was answered in just over a hour,
the DVDs were produced on the same day the VHS tape was delivered &
were back in my hands 2 days later. Payment was simple with Paypal
& the reproduction of the footage was of a good quality. I
wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this service and would definitely use
Video99 again. Ian." 29.01.12 VHS to DVD with extra copy.

"Hi Colin, Many thanks for the DVDs which you sent
me. I was really pleased with the results - especially as the
original videos were around 20 years old. Thanks for all the
information you sent me so promptly by e-mail before I sent the videos
to you and for the speedy delivery of the finished product. Don't
think I have anymore videos which need tranferring but if I know of
anyone who needs it done will recommend you to them. RegardsSandy." VHS to DVD, 12.01.12
"'I discovered the Video 99 site after using another
company to transfer video to DVD which resulted in poor quality
unwatchable films which were badly pixelated and jumped continually the
whole way through, I was so dissapointed as they were home videos that
I wished to give my mum & dad for Christmas. I contacted Colin
through the site to ask his advice & he requested I send the videos
& DVDs to him to see if he could make any difference, he even
checked the previous companies website to see what technique they had
used. This was mid December so I wasn't expecting the DVDs in time for
Christmas anymore. Throughout the process Colin kept me informed
advising me of progress as he re-worked/re-mastered the tapes to a
superb quality - far superior than the previous company had produced
& 100% watchable. I recieved the tapes on the 21st of December
& am over the moon with them! The service Colin provides is
friendly & personal & despite being fully booked with orders
for Christmas 2011 he went the extra mile & completed my tapes he
knew were a Christmas present which I think says a lot about him as a
person. As the tapes were very old & one was particuarly damaged it
wasn't an easy process and I am so thankfull of the time and effort he
spent on the precious family memories especially at a time of year when
everyone is short of time. I will definetley recommend Video 99 to
anyone neefing this type of service as the price, quality &
friendly service is second to none...I only wish I'd found them
first!!'. Claire (Glasgow)" Sorted out some bad VHS tapes which
another transfer business had failed to run properly. 22.12.11
"We have now watched the transfers you did for us in full.
They far exceeded our wildest expectations. Thank you so much. Your
service is second to non and we will have no hesitation in recommending
you.Thanks againNorma & David" VHS to DVD, 16.11.11
"Colin has transferred a treasured Wedding Video to DVD for
me and it has ben a pleasure to deal with him. From my initial enquiry
until receiving the finished item he has responded promptly and kept me
informed at all stages until completion. A very professional service
and I cannot recommend him highly enough.Stan" VHS wedding tape to DVD, 08.11.11
"On having problems putting my old videos onto DVD myself,
I searched the web to find a suitable company to do this. I actually
found quite a few, but the one that was highlighted for me, mainly
initially because of the price and feedback from customers,
was
www.video99.co.uk I contacted Colin
McCormick by email, laying out what I was looking for. Although it was
a Sunday when I emailed, I got a very prompt and detailed reply from
him. He even gave me information of how I might be able to carry on and
do the recording from my old videos to dvd myself, which I had tried to
do not very successfully, and had I actually continued to try, it would
have put him out of the job for me!
Colin was the most efficient person to deal with, giving prompt and
understandable replies to my emails. We exchanged more than 10
emails, during which, we decided on the best course of action, and this
was before I had paid him a penny!
I eventually mailed my old videos off to him, including a cheque for
the agreed price (which I was more than happy with!) and as suggested
by him, sent them by special delivery from the UK, where they arrived
one day later, and Colin emailed me to confirm receipt of them.
The videos were duly copied onto dvd’s the next day, even though they
included one broken tape – which Colin managed to retrieve for
me, and were posted back to me in Spain, along with copies of
each one. Once they arrived and I had tested them out for viewing, I
sent Colin the balance of the account, which I owed him due to asking
for more copies to be done. I personally decided not to have the old
videos sent back to me, as I now have super copies of all of my old
memories, which I could well have lost over the years with bad quality
video recordings, so they will be binned.
I have to “sing the praises” of this guy, who has turned out to be THE
most helpful and is able to put the technological terms into a non tech
person’s language for me to understand. I would use him again without
any shadow of a doubt and have already recommended him to other family
members who may want the same kind of service. I would have no
hesitation whatsoever in recommending him as a DIAMOND to work with and
wish him every success in his continued endeavour to help out the naïve
non techno buffs to do what they want to get done.
Thank you Colin, you made life very easy for me, without a large
financial outlay and with a very happy outcome." VHS to DVD

"Hi Colin I just wanted to put on record how pleased
I am with the personal service I received from you. Having just
found you on the Internet it takes quite a leap of trust to send a
complete stranger money and more importantly irreplaceable memories in
tape form. Refreshingly in your case the trust was well placed. You
couldn't have done any more for me with advice and keeping me informed
at all stages. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to friends and
family. I hope your business continues to prosper.Uel" VHSC to DVD and also DV-AVI files on hard disk. 29.10.11
" I have been thinking for some time about converting
all my home
movie tapes to a format for my PC but found most companies somewhat
impersonal, expensive and I had doubts about trusting my precious
family memories with a stranger. You do not have to have any such
doubts with Colin - he is a gentleman who is as good as his word. My
films were converted and returned promptly and communication was
excellent. It is such a joy to have easy access to all those home
movies. Colin did a great job at a reasonable price and it has made my
family very happy ..... thank you!'

excellent. Not only is it an excellent transfer, with ability to 'jump' to

"Wanting to transfer a Video tape to a DVD,I looked at the options.
Buy a dvd recorder or get someone to do the job for me,after thinking, if I
didn't use a video recorder alot then I'm hardly likely to use a dvd
recorder for much,then the second choice was seemed a better idea. I used
Video99.co.uk for the job, as after looking at several companies ,this one
seemed to be informative,professional and most of all reasoanbly priced.It
was a good choice, as the end result confirmed and,with e-mails keeping me
informed of the progress of the order at every step I feel that I can highly
recommend this company. Brian" 23.05.11

the transfers of my VHS tapes to DVD. A superb job with very quick service.
The boxes for the DVDs with your excellent choice of pictures from the tapes

"Colin I watched the DVD last night, you’ve done a fab job, thanks
so much. You were right, it’s much better without the adverts. The reason
I picked your company to change a VHS tape to DVD was because compared to
other websites your info seemed like you really cared about what you were
doing and wanted to get it just right for the customer. The design you did
on the cover was an extra bonus and makes the whole thing look really
professional. Your communication throughout the process has been clear and

so much for doing this - an excellent and thoughtful service from start to

"Testimonial; “I chose Colin at Video99 because alongside details
of the video to DVD transfer service, I saw his requests for betamax
equipment, sometimes offering his work as part-payment. From this I deduced
he was *really* into his field and cared, not just some cheap outfit who had
bought a TV card for their p.c, hooked it up to an old video player, and
were knocking out as many videos as they could. Great communication, quality
of product and fast turnaround” Neil" 31.05.09, SVHS to DVD-Rom

"Hi Colin, I've just received my DVD. An excellent
conversion,everything that I wanted and great quality too. If and when I
need anything else transferred I know where to come. I shall be reccomending
your service to anyone I know. Absolutely excellent. Cheers.

"Sorry I have taken so long to say I have received the DVDs and they
play fine, you have managed what I thought would have been a impossible task
from video's that are twenty five years old, how technology moves on, they
are probably now preserved for another 25 years or longer thanks again

"With 17 hours of priceless footage of my young daughter I was very
cautious in choosing someone to convert my VHS tapes. Colin answered all my
questions speedily and sensitively. The service was quick and efficient, and
when a problem arose it was resolved without fuss. The final cost was as
promised and good value for the quality of the work produced . I have no
hesitation in recommending Video99 and will use the service again.

we've already had great fun watching some of them. Its amazing how much is

times. I'm sure our family will have just as much fun watching the

send you - you offer a fantastic and brilliantly reliable service that
doesn't cost the earth, for which we are very grateful. Thank you one again
