}} {{Box|color=green | float=center | width=67% | title=Video Tape Conversion | content= The Center has real-time conversion equipment for full-size VHS video tapes. The equipment will capture the video and store it on a 16GB thumb drive. We encourage you to use our expert technology missionaries to assist you in your video conversion process. In order to have a successful session, here are some things to know:
 * For full size VHS tapes, rewind the tapes or set at start point before coming.
 * Expect about one hour of video content during a session with half hour of setup/wrap up. Plan to complete all efforts within the scheduled time period.
 * Do not bring tapes with commerical content or copyrighted material, only family-related videos.
 * The captured video file will be in .mpg or .mp4 formats and will be transferred to the patron's personal USB thumb drive to take home. A two-hour video will need about 16GB of USB storage for the .mpg or .mp4 format.  An MP4 file is a compressed video file, that can be put on a thumb drive.
 * The video tape can be split into smaller topic-based segments during the conversion such as for a birthday party, vacation, graduation, etc. The result is small subject-based videos that can be uploaded to social media, loaded on a phone, or easily shared with family and friends. The digital video files will provide the best option to play and share video memories. If needed a DV can be created during the conversion.
 * 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, Sony DVD+R 4x/8x/16x, TDK DVD+R 4x/8x/16x.
 * You'll need a DVD for every two hours of VHS video.
