Video Tape Conversion Stations   

 Equipment is provided to capture, in real-time, video from VHS, Compact VHS (VHS-C), 8mm, Hi8, 8mm movies, and MiniDV cassette tapes. The captured video files will be in MP4 format and will be transferred to the guest's personal USB drive to take home. A two-hour video will need about 4G of USB storage. Guests can bring their own video camera and cables for maximum compatibility. Other video tape formats can also be captured with the guest's video camera/player and the cables to connect to a TV set (yellow, red, and white RCA cables or S-Video cable). The video tape can be split into smaller topic-based files 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.   There are three different types of video conversion equipment you can reserve:  <BR CLEAR="left">
