VHS To Blu Ray Transfers: The High Definition Experience

It may seem as though the public's mass acceptance and adoption of the DVD format was not to long ago but in reality the truth is that mass market adoption occurred just over 10 years ago. This means that DVD's have been the dominant form of both commercial and home video for over a decade already. DVD's to this day remain a hot item however there's a new player on the market that many feel won't merely coexist with DVD but instead will render the aging format obsolete. This format is of course Sony's Blu Ray disc format. Blu Ray players offer owners of HDTV's a chance to watch movies in full 1080p resolution, the highest resolution currently available. The format also provides rich, crisp, digital surround sound. Even DVD's play and look incredible when played on Blu Ray players.

By now it's likely you've heard of VHS to DVD transfers. A process by which old VHS movies are cleaned up, digitized and placed on DVD's for convenient viewing and safe storage. Well with the advent of Blu Ray many people have sought to have a VHS to Blu Ray transfer performed on their old movies. While many do so many people also ask why transfer VHS to Blu Ray when they could have it transferred to DVD just as easily and at a friendlier price. The truth is a VHS to Blu Ray transfer does indeed offer many of the same things and carry many of the same benefits that a VHS to DVD transfer does however there are advantages to choosing Blu Ray.

Perhaps the biggest advantage that a VHS to Blu Ray transfer holds over VHS to DVD transfer is the fact that all Blu Ray is a high definition format. Although your old VHS movies might be of extremely low quality, a VHS to Blu Ray transfer can not only clean up the picture and sound of the movie, HDTV's and Blu Ray players make almost any movie played through them look and sound fantastic, far better than DVD. Furthermore Blu Ray video and audio are uncompressed which means you're hearing and seeing everything there is to be seen and heard.

The second big advantage that a VHS to Blu Ray transfer has over a VHS to DVD transfer is the medium or disks themselves. While Blu Ray discs are the same size as and look almost identical to DVD's, they are far more durable even to things like scratches, careless children, accidents, etc. While a VHS to DVD transfer provides great protection for your old home movies, a VHS to Blu Ray transfer means that your home movies will be stored on the most durable storage medium currently available to consumers.
