Videotape begins to degrade immediately upon use and can be unplayable in as little as ten years. And of course if your camera or player wears out you won't be able to view them at all. MiniDV tape is more fragile than the larger tape formats like VHS, so that damage and resulting dropouts can occur even after one viewing.

Norwest Communications Inc preserves video memories for a lifetime. Make sure that you order an extra copy to share or for archival storage.

We are able to transfer the following formats to DVD:

• VHS
• VHS-C
• S-VHS
• Betamax
• 8 mm
• Hi-8
• Digital-8
• Mini-DV
• Professional Betacam & Betacam SP
• Professional MII

In addition we can transfer your old movies in 8mm, Super 8 and 16mm to DVD.

Repair services are also available for broken and jammed videocassettes.
