ISS Video Clip Digitization Service

The VHS video cassette recorder has been around since the 1970’s, but it has been in steady decline since the introduction of DVD technology.  As of 2008, no major manufacturers produce stand-alone VHS recorders.  As a result, we have begun to phase out VHS players in LSA classrooms.

If you have educational material on VHS, we strongly recommend that you find DVD alternatives.  If what you need is not available on DVD, or if the DVD release is inferior to the version you are using, LSA Instructional Support Services offers digital conversion of video for educational use.

We are also happy to digitize 16mm film, Betamax, and LaserDisc.  If you only show specific scenes from a DVD, we can create a new DVD that only contain your important clips.  Let us help you save time in the classroom!
