Why Convert Camcorder Tapes into Digital?

Camcorder tapes, even if stored in perfect conditions, have a limited life span. They are not like digital files. Over time, they will naturally become less useful. As a result, tapes can become more damaged and even unplayable with every passing year. This could lead to you losing precious family footage.
Digital is more versatile
Camcorder tapes only can be played on camcorders. This is becoming more difficult and less common. You will eventually find it difficult to find one and send it off to be repaired if it does not work. It can be extremely difficult to watch family videos in only one format.
