VHS Tape Digitization

The VHS to MP4 converter will convert tapes directly to a MP4 video file that is saved to a USB drive or SD card. Because of the large size of video files, a USB drive or SD card of 16 GB or above is recommended. The converter is available for use at the Main Branch. You can also borrow a converter, but you must supply your own VCR.

The VHS-C Cassette Converter adapter allows you to play camcorder cassettes in a VHS recorder and transfer tapes to DVD or MP4.
