If you were married in the 1980s or 1990s, your wedding video was very likely shot on S-VHS, a semi professional format that gave almost twice the quality of VHS.
Depending on storage conditions, S-VHS video tapes have a life or around 30-40 years. They degrade overtime due to the magnetic coating becoming detached from the backing material. This leads to a 'snowy' effect or in severe cases can cause the reels to jam
We can provide S-VHS transfers as MP4 for easy playback or as AVI when you need an edit-ready source on your computer.
