VHSc to DVD Montreal
Product Description:
VHS-C is the compact VHS format introduced in 1982 and used primarily for consumer-grade compact camcorders. The format is based on the same videotape as is used in VHS, and can be played back in a standard VHS VCR with an adapter. The magnetic tape on VHS-C cassettes is wound on one main spool and used as a gear wheel which moves the tape forward. This development hampered the sales of the BetaMax system because the BetaMax cassette geometry prevented a similar development. VHS-C was one of the pioneering formats of the compact camcorder market, and was released to compete with Video8. VHS-C was larger than Video8, but was compatible with VHS tape decks, making the choice between the two very competitive, thus splitting the market; VHS-C also eventually crowded full-sized VHS camcorders out of the market. Compared with Video8, VHS-C had identical video quality but a shorter run time, 120 versus 40 minutes at standard speed, 240 versus 120 for longer-running modes.


So if you have a collection of VHSC tapes that you would like to have transferred then give us a call, one of our specially trained representatives is always available from 10am-6pm from Monday to Friday and 12pm-5 Saturday. Or email us at info@MontrealHomeMovies.com. There are always at least 4 people available nearby to return your questions quickly and concisely.

However, if you are an amateur or professional editor, we can also upload your VHS-C footage to your personal hard-drive. We have had numerous requests to convert these tapes to  .dv and .avi formats. Whether you are using a mac or PC, we can convert your VHSC tape to be compatible with your computer’s media software. Or you can choose to have your footage transfered to MiniDV. Please see our export section to explore these options.
