This unit converts audio cassette tapes to a variety of digital formats. This is done in real time -- 30 minutes of audio will take 30 minutes to capture. The digital files are stored directly onto a USB drive. While monitoring the audio with headphones during the session, family history work can be completed on a computer.

Equipment is provided to capture, in real-time, the video from full-size VHS, Compact VHS (VHS-C), 8mm Video Cassette tapes, High 8, and MiniDV. The captured video files will be in .mpg and .mp4 formats and will be transferred to the patron's personal USB drive to take home. A two-hour video will need about 8G of USB storage for the .mpg format and 2G for the .mp4 format. Other video tape formats can also be captured with the patron's video camera/player and the cables to connect to a TV set (RCA cables (yellow, red, white) or S-Video cable). The video tape can be split into smaller topic-based segments during the conversion - birthday party, vacation, graduation, etc. The result is small subject-based videos that can be uploaded to Social Media (Facebook), loaded on a phone, or easily shared with family & friends.

While the digital video files will provide the best option to play and share video memories, a DVD can be created during the conversion if needed. Please bring blank DVD discs (DVD+R or DVD-R types). Recommended brands are Verbatim DVR+R or DVD-R 8x, Maxwell DVD+R 4x/8x/16x or DVD-R 8x/16x, Sony DVD+R 4x/8x/16x, TDK DVD+R 4x/8x/16x.

Preparing to Use the Video Tape Converter For a successful experience, consider the following: Full-size VHS tapes and compact VHS tapes.

[3.0 USB drive is strongly recommended] MP4 video files will be the result of the conversion. DVD is possible if desired but not typical Plan to complete all efforts within the scheduled time period Do not bring tapes with commercial content or copyrighted material, only family-related videos The video conversion equipment is to be used only with the assistance of a trained technology missionary. The video conversion station may be reserved in two-hour-and-fifteen-minute sessions, plus wrap up time.
