DonnaP Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Does anyone have any experience with this? I have a bunch of old VHS tapes containing footage of my sons from their baby years through teens. Also family holidays and vacations. I'd like to preserve some of the footage but don't think I need the hours and hours that are stored on those tapes. Anyone know a way to just convert part(s) of a VHS tape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacklessSally Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 There are a few companies who can do this for you. Not sure the charge though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaP Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yes, I've seen them advertised. But wouldn't those places just convert the entire length of the VHS tape? We're talking hours and hours of footage on each tape... And I have like 20 tapes. I probably don't need to keep it ALL... Maybe a nice sampling converted to DVD would suffice...

Momtojandj Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Donna, I don't know if they can do it. I brought mine to Costco, the price was best around. Maybe call , if you are a member and ask ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJF Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I've been copying my own. I bought a VCR/DVD combo and it allows me to transfer from VCR tape to DVDs. Not sure that you can skip parts, as I've been copying the entire tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest look2thesky Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 You can do parts but it is very time consuming. The converters are cheap. Much cheaper than letting any company do it. I also think there is a small converter that plugs into a computer. A Google search "converting VHS" can give you the answers in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
