The “Rescue Your Videotapes!” package available from MAGIX helps save and store your VHS treasures. “At the moment, recorders and cassettes are still available and usable. However, consumers should use this time to rescue their favourite movies from these VHS cassettes”, advises Jurgen Jaron, chief executive of MAGIX AG. Save your precious recordings from VHS cassettes and other tape formats with MAGIX Rescue Your Videotapes, containing MAGIX Movies on DVD 7 and the practical USB video converter. With the new video rescue package from MAGIX you can back up your VHS and all other tape formats onto your PC or directly to DVD with just a few clicks. Even add animated menus. Searching and sorting is easier too. The complete package is available in retail stores for GBP59.99 inc.
Conservation vs. quality loss
As the years go by, the image quality of your videocassettes will decrease. Due to magnetic influences during storage, the colours are washed out and the contours become blurry. In addition, the coating disintegrates as a result of playback and smudges off slowly, even if the whole tape hasn’t “died” in a crumpled mess long before. For these reasons, it is highly advisable to preserve your tapes via digitization using suitable hardware and software like “Rescue Your Videotapes!” from MAGIX.
When a video is present in digital form, it can always be burned again and saved to various media storage devices like hard disks or online platforms. Thanks to DVD menus and removed advertising, your cinematic treasures or home videos on VHS can now be enjoyed in more comfort than ever before.
