Why Now’s the Perfect Time to Digitise Your VHS Memories
Those old VHS tapes sitting in your cupboard might hold some of your most precious memories — family holidays, weddings, your children’s first steps. But here’s the truth: those tapes won’t last forever. VHS is a magnetic format that naturally degrades over time, and every year, more families lose their recordings to mould, damage, or simple decay.
At Avon Studios in Wellesbourne, we help you preserve those moments by converting VHS and camcorder tapes into digital files or USB drives — making it easy to watch, share, and treasure them for generations to come.
Why You Should Digitise Now
1. VHS Tapes Are Fading Fast
VHS tapes were never designed to last decades. Even if you’ve kept them in good condition, time, heat, and humidity slowly break down the tape. By digitising now, you can save your memories before they’re lost forever.
2. A Perfect Christmas Gift
Digitised home videos make a truly personal, meaningful Christmas gift. Imagine surprising your parents or grandparents with a USB or DVD full of family memories they haven’t seen in years. It’s a gift that sparks laughter, nostalgia, and connection.
3. Technology Is Moving On
Most people no longer have a working VHS player, and replacement machines are becoming rare and expensive. Converting to digital ensures your videos can be viewed on laptops, smart TVs, tablets, or phones — anywhere, anytime.
4. Peace of Mind
Once digitised, your memories can be safely backed up on multiple devices or cloud storage. You’ll never have to worry about losing your family history again.

Customer Story: A Christmas to Remember
Last year, one of our customers brought in a box of VHS tapes that hadn’t been played since the 1990s. We transferred them to USB just in time for Christmas, and she told us it became the highlight of the day – her whole family gathered to relive old holidays and birthdays they thought were lost.
Stories like these remind us why we love what we do. It’s not just about preserving footage – it’s about reconnecting people with their memories.
