I think we all have those old video tapes stored away in boxes that we are telling ourselves “I swear I am going to have that VHS put on a DVD”, yet time passes and we don’t get it done. Why? Maybe money is an issue. Time? Who knows why we take so long to get something preserved that is so precious to us, but today is a whole new day.
I had a very special opportunity to work with ScanDigital to have a VHS tape that I have of my 14 year old daughter, in to a DVD that will last a whole lot longer than a VHS tape can last. I have had this tape of “K” and have added on footage of her ultrasound from when I was pregnant with her, the day she was born, and so many years of precious memories that were captured on VHS. My process with ScanDigital was so fast, so easy and I am truly amazed by their customer service and speedy work!
Here was my process:
-
I registered for an account on www.scandigital.com on 2/8/09
-
I went in and told them that I had a VHS tape to transfer, clicked through super fast and printed a shipping label.
-
My VHS tape was shipped on 2/10/09
-
ScanDigital received shipment on 2/13/09
-
Order was completed on 2/18/09
-
I received my finished product on 2/23/09
I received emails all throughout the entire process letting me know they received my shipment, that my order was complete, as well as that my products was shipped. I LOVE being updated that way! I was beyond excited when my finished product arrived! Not only did they send me a nice, keepsake case with the finished DVD in it, but they also customized the cover with screen shots of each chapter that is included in my DVD.
How much was this? To have a VHS put on a DVD was just $19.95! They also do pictures on DVD and so much more. If you have home movies laying around, get them to ScanDigital! You will not regret it!
The quality of my DVD is amazing! Honestly, it is better than the VHS tape was!
Thank you to MomDot Reviews and ScanDigital for a truly heartwarming opportunity! 
My husband and I were just talking about this today but we had not started looking into places that might do it. This review is just at the right time. Thanks.
wow that is great! I have a few old movies I’d like to get preserved. I wonder if they do those mini tapes. I have so many from my son’s younger days and basketball. I’ll have to take a look at that thanks

This is a great idea. Everyone has VHS tapes around that they wish they could convert, but it always seems like such a pain. They handled everything so easily and quickly, makes it seem worth it!
Does the price include shipping and everything? I’ve seen the same price for transferring VHS to DVD, but it didn’t include the cool case & cover, it doesn’t have such service, and then with shipping included this looks like a deal.
We have soooo many tapes of our kids that we need to get transferred to DVD. Thanks for an informative review.

I’ve been looking for a place to have this done! I have some videos of my great-grandpa that I want to get made into a DVD, so I was so glad to see this review here.
