Homemade DVD & CD Conversion – Preserve Your Family Videos & Memories
A Brief History of Homemade DVDs & CDs
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, homemade DVDs and CDs became the most popular way to store family videos, photos, and personal recordings. As VHS camcorders were replaced by digital camcorders, many families transferred their home movies onto DVDs for easier playback. Similarly, CDs were used to store digital photos, music, and important files, offering a compact and reliable format at the time.
For years, homemade DVDs were the standard for watching family vacations, weddings, birthdays, and special moments on home entertainment systems. However, as technology advanced, many people now find themselves with stacks of discs but no DVD or CD player to watch or access them. Many modern laptops and computers no longer come with disc drives, making it difficult—if not impossible—to view or transfer the content.
Additionally, DVDs and CDs have a limited lifespan. Over time, they can become scratched, warped, or corrupted, leading to data loss. If your homemade DVDs contain important family videos, now is the time to digitize them before they become unreadable.
At VHS2Digital, we specialize in converting homemade DVDs and CDs into modern digital formats, allowing you to watch, edit, and share your memories with ease.
