Difference Between VHS and VHS-C Tapes

!9# Difference Between VHS and VHS-C Tapes

[if ]

[endif]

Although they look entirely different, VHS tapes and VHS-C tapes actually share the same type of magnetic recording tape. This is due to the fact that the manufacturers wanted consumers to be able to play the smaller tapes in a standard VCR, with minimal of extra equipment. Usually, to play your VHS-C tapes on your VCR, you'd need a VHS-C adapter. The adapter has a special compartment that houses the VHS-C tape, and helps guide the tape through the run in your VCR. Do not confuse a VHS-C adapter to be able to play other tapes, such as using it as an adapter for Hi8 tapes. Sometimes the adapters will be motorized, and other times they work with a spring system. Be careful not to force your adapter if it has a motorized mechanism within the housing.

As you can see, the main difference between the two is the shape and size of the casing. VHS-C tapes were intentionally built to be of a much smaller form factor due to rising competition from the smaller Video 8 tapes and to provide consumers with a smaller medium so that they could use them for compact camcorders. The one drawback that VHS-C had compared to other types at the time, was the recording capactity. Video8 and Hi8 could exceed 2 hours on standard recording, while VHS-C was limited to 20-30 minutes per tape. However, VHS-C still sold well due to the fact that videos could easily be copied to VHS tapes, and the ease of playing it on your home entertainment system, as the VHS tape was the most popular format for entertainment and movies. VHS-C tapes could also be recorded at extended play mode, but the resulting quality was often not worth it, unless absolutely necessary.

In this day and age, finding a VHS-C casing for a video tape repair can be challenging, especially considering they have been out of production for a number of years. Technically, if performing a tape repair on a VHS-C tape, you can a standard vHS casing. To do this correctly, you'd need to carefully unwind the tape from the VHS-C spool, and attach it to the VHS spool. You cannot use a VHS-C spool in a VHS case, the tape must be physically attached to the new spool. From here, you can simply wind it up until the tape is fully encased in the shell.

Life at Musser: Episode #13

!9# Life at Musser: Episode #13

Thirteenth episode in the documentary web series "Life at Musser." Musser is the name of the International House on the Ursinus College campus in Collegeville, Pennsylvania (USA). At this house, students from across the world live together. From 2001 through 2003, I lived in Musser and began recording events with an analog Hi8 camcorder for a documentary about living in Musser. For all you film buffs, imagine if Frederick Wiseman and Ross McElwee had a baby and left it "stranded in canton." Remember, this was a time before everyone had a cell phone; long before it was common to have a video camera on your cell phone, and prior to YouTube and Facebook's existence! The documentary was never completed...until now in a web series format! This web series also celebrates my 10th year of making films. A new episode will be added each week! From over 200 hours of footage, these images are my personal "cave drawings" of early filmmaking. Episode #13 features the art of beauty!

VHS to DVD Transfer Services - What to Look For

!9# VHS to DVD Transfer Services - What to Look For

[if ]

[endif]

VHS tapes have been obsolete for over ten years now yet you probably still have VHS tapes still sitting in our closets.  Your wedding video tape, for example.  Have you convert it to DVD yet?  When considering handing over your old home movies to a VHS tapes to DVD transfer service, ask these 4 questions.

Question 1. Is the transfer done in a dedicated facility like a video transfer lab? 

If you ask someone if they use professional equipment, they will all say Yes.  Who will say, "I use a VHS to DVD machine I bought at Best Buy for 0"?  So instead, ask if the transfer's done in a dedicated facility.  You don't want someone using hobby equipment in their home basement handling your tapes.  These tapes are usually over ten years old and fragile.  If they mess up, your old home movie is not replaceable.

Question 2. Will the DVD have a DVD menu so I can skip from one chapter to another easily without using the hit-and-mis Rewind and Forward buttons?

Watching raw footage is like watching paint dry.  You want the option of skipping to another chapter when you want to show someone a particular scene.  Reputable transfer services using professional equipment can create DVD menus easily.  How do they know when a chapter starts or end?  The algorithm is usually like this: Create a new chapter if there is a major scene change.  If there is no scene change, then after 5 minutes, it creates a new chapter.  These chapters do not break up your viewing experience.  You can start from chapter 1, and it will play through chapter 2,3,4 seamlessly.  The DVD menu just gives you an option of scene selections when you need it.

Question 3.  Can I see a sample finished DVD ?

This is a 2-part question.  First and most important, you want to make sure the DVD is playable in most DVD players.  Hobbyist equipments can churn out DVDs alright but they will not work in many of the new DVD players.  Part 2, you want to know if the final DVD output is a finished DVD with caption and nice case cover that's gift-ready.  Ask for a sample of the finished product.  Many people are disappointed when they get back a clear-face DVD in a clear case which they have to hand-write the caption on using a Sharpie.  It just doesn't look professional.  Especially if you intended it as a gift to a family member.  

Question 4. Finally, ask if they guarantee their work.

Just like how you get a range of video quality depending on the quality of your video camcorder,  VHS to DVD transfer quality varies depending on the quality of the transfer equipment.  A reputable video transfer service that is proud of their work will not hesitate to  give you a money-back guarantee.  If the video transfer service hems and haws and will not give you a guarantee, at the very least you should ask to speak to their past customers or references.

Don't wait any longer.  Magnetic media, and that includes VHS, Hi8, Super 8, mini-DV have a shelf life.  The sooner you digitize them, the better the video transfer quality you will get.
