Preservation

Tape is a great medium to shoot film on but a poor way to store video. Tape heads wear on the tape during every viewing and chemical processes are at work destroying your tape every day, even while it sits on the shelf. Things like temperature, dust, and time all play a part in the deterioration of your videotapes. Tapes as little as 10 years old could be in serious jeopardy from wear, disintegration, and magnetic fields

If properly cared for a DVD produced by us will last over 100 years and the quality will be as good on the 100th year as it is the first time you watch it, which is why transferring your video footage to DVD is the smart way to preserve, protect, and organize your memories.
