Why You Should Digitize Your Tapes and Films Before It’s Too Late

If you have a box of old videotapes or film reels sitting in storage, now is the time to digitize them before it’s too late. These aging formats are slowly deteriorating, and once the damage is done, it can’t be reversed.

VHS tapes, for example, degrade over time—even if they’re stored properly. The magnetic particles that hold the image and sound break down, causing flickering, color loss, and audio issues. Film reels can become brittle, and humidity or poor storage conditions can lead to vinegar syndrome, a chemical breakdown that makes the film unusable.

The longer you wait, the greater the risk of losing precious memories. By digitizing now, you preserve the footage in its current state, preventing further quality loss.

At Curtis Media Transfer, we make the process simple, affordable, and hassle-free. With transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and local service, you can trust your memories are in good hands.

Don’t let time erase your family’s history—preserve it today.
