Converting VHS to DVD format used to be an expensive and time-consuming process. However, thanks to advancements in computer hardware and software, you can do it yourself at home for a fraction of the price that most video conversion companies charge. Videotape quality degrades over time, but with the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD package, you can preserve your memories with no loss of quality.
