& save your memories.

Below you’ll find a full overview of our pricing for VCR to DVD conversions:

At MEDIAFIX, with our standard processing we convert videotapes to DVD within 3-6 weeks. This includes delivery time to our headquarters and the internal processing time. Need your videos back sooner? Book the Priority or Express service to get your digitised videos back as soon as possible.

Since we’re mostly used to digital files today, you may ask yourself if converting VHS to DVD is still worth it. Even if many households now have Smart TVs and computers without DVD drives, DVDs are still a more durable and reliable option than VHS tapes. Furthermore, DVDs are easy to store and rewatch again if you have a DVD player.

That said, many digitising services, included MEDIAFIX, offer the opportunity to get your converted videos back not only on DVD but also on USB stick or via a direct download link. Why not booking both? You’ll be able to watch your videos both with a DVD player and on modern devices like Smart TVs and laptops. Furthermore, it’s always good to have a cloud backup of your files!

You can send your VHS cassettes by post to the following address:

Converting VHS to DVD without a VCR can be tricky, but it’s not impossible.

You have two possibilities:

Use a VHS/DVD combo player
This type of device was popular in the 2000s. If you still own one or can buy one second-hand, you can play your VHS tape and burn it onto a DVD without a computer or VCR. However, VHS/DVD combo players are not easy to find. Furthermore, the quality of the converted content won’t match today’s standards.

Transfer your VHS tapes to DVD with a professional digitising service

If you don’t have a VCR and don’t want to buy one, you can use a VHS to DVD conversion service like MEDIAFIX. This is also the best option if you want to save time and money. This is because MEDIAFIX converts your VHS tapes to DVD from only £5.99.

Your memories will be digitised with care by an experienced team. You will get your old videotapes on a DVD, compatible with most standard DVD players. Optionally, you’ll also have the possibility to convert your VHS tapes to USB or digital files. Once digitised, you will receive both your original videotapes and your DVDs back via post.

Yes, you can convert VHS to DVD at home, but it requires some equipment and a bit of time. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

1. Get a working VCR player: to put VHS on DVD, you need a functioning VCR player. You can buy it second-hand online or ask a friend or relative if they still have one.
2. Connect the VCR player to the DVD recorder: Use your VCR’s RCA or SCART cables to the corresponding inputs on the DVD recorder.
3. Insert your media: Insert both the VHS tape you want to convert into the VCR and a blank, recordable DVD into the DVD recorder.
4. Set the DVD recorder to the correct input: check if the DVD recorder is set to the input channel that matches where the VCR is connected.
5. Play the VHS tape on the VCR and press “Record” on the DVD recorder: The VHS will be played in real time while being recorded onto the DVD. This means that the amount of time required will depend on the length of the original videotape.
6. Finalise your DVD: Finalise the DVD using the DVD recorder. This way, you make sure your DVD will be read on other DVD players as well.
7. Test the DVD on other devices: we recommend testing the DVD on other devices like your PC or other DVD players.

As you see, converting VHS to DVD at home is not as easy as it may seem. To avoid wasting time and effort, it is better to send your videotapes to a professional digitising service that will take care of the whole digitisation process.

The easiest and most reliable way to transfer VHS tapes to DVD is by using a professional digitising service like MEDIAFIX. Even if it’s possible to convert VHS to DVD yourself, we don’t recommend this option because you’ll need the right equipment and a lot of time. It’s much better to use a VHS to DVD conversion service that handles everything for you. You won’t need to worry. You’ll just have to send your VHS tapes by post and MEDIAFIX will take care of the rest!

At MEDIAFIX, when we convert your VHS tapes to DVD, we use our Budget quality option. This means that the videos are converted and saved in their original resolution (720 × 576 pixels). This format is fully compatible with all standard DVD players. Please note that if your VHS tape is particularly long, the video quality may be slightly reduced to fit the content onto the DVD. Still, the Budget quality level is a great choice if you’re looking for a cheap solution and want to relive your memories on the TV.

It depends. Home videos or recordings you’ve made yourself are perfectly fine to convert, but commercial films or copyrighted material can’t be copied without permission from the author or creator.

Yes, we just need the exact start and end time stamps.

Both options are great, but the final choice depends on your needs and the quality that you’re looking for. MEDIAFIX is the only VHS to DVD conversion service that lets you choose your preferred quality level:

• Budget quality: we convert the VHS tapes to DVD. It’s ideal if you still have a DVD player at home and you want to rewatch your memories on the television or your PC. With the Budget quality, VCR tapes are digitised in their original quality, which means the quality stays as-is. If your VHS tape is particularly long, then the quality may decrease even more because of DVD storage capacity.
• Standard quality: we convert the VHS tapes to USB. Optionally, you can also get your videos as digital files through a direct download link. The VHS tapes are digitised in their original resolution and are later saved as MP4 files. With this option, you can book post-processing of your videos to improve the colours and reduce noise and artefacts. Furthermore, you’ll be able to share the videos with anyone you want.
• Premium quality: we convert the VHS tapes to digital files or USB stick. Your original videos are upscaled to Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels). This is the best option if you want not only your videos digitised but also get the most out of them. This way, rewatching your memories will be an unforgettable experience. Here too, you can add post-processing to improve the video quality and share your memories with friends and family.

Yes, of course! At MEDIAFIX, we send back both the originals and your digitised files back to you on DVD or USB stick, depending on the type of conversion that you booked.
