Videotape degrades over time; DVDs get scratched and become unreadable - which means all your precious home movies stored on those tapes and discs will fade away into dust, and you'll never be able to watch them again.
All those birthdays, graduations, holidays, christmases, weddings - and you're children being born. GONE.
But it's NOT TOO LATE if you act now.
Introducing Analog 2 Digital.

This simple course, Analog 2 Digital, will show you how to transfer your VHS, miniDV, Hi-8 and DVD home movie footage to your computer and into cloud storage to be viewed and downloaded.
Then you have the chance to turn them into meaningful stories and pass those memories down to future generations.
The oxide on your home movie tapes degrades over time.
Tapes typically lose 10-20% of their video and audio quality every 10 to 25 years.
Tapes snap and disappear inside the casing. You can lose large sections of the tape or sometimes the whole tape.
Tapes also get moldy and can become uplayable.
DVDs get scratched and can become unplayable. The camcorder or computer simply just can't read the whole disc.
That's a whole disc of family memories – GONE.
Make those precious moments eternal and create a legacy to be cherished through the ages.
Effortlessly conquer
user-friendly ingest software, and let your precious memories take center stage.
Very little technical skills are required to rescue your precious memories off VHS and cam-corder original tapes.

Professional video editors
No. This course is designed for beginners and non‑editors. I walk you through every step in plain language, from identifying your tapes to capturing your first digital file. If you can follow simple checklists and plug in a few cables, you can do this.
You’ll need:
• A working VHS player, Hi8 deck, or miniDV camcorder (depending on your tapes)
• A basic video capture device (I’ll show you what to look for and what to avoid)
• The right cables and adapters for your gear
• A computer with enough storage for your footage
I give you specific recommendations and setup options so you don’t waste money on the wrong gear.
You can follow along on both. We’ll show options for both Windows and Mac users, and even give mobile-friendly tips if you're working from a phone or tablet.
Yes! This course is ideal for organizing and editing home videos, old family footage, travel clips, or even old VHS/DVDs if you’ve digitized them

No. Analog 2 Digital focuses on getting your footage off the tapes and into clean, organised digital files. You can absolutely do the whole course without any editing software. Later, if you want to turn that footage into a polished movie, I offer a separate course that teaches you exactly how to do that.

AI can help in some cases, but it can also make old video look worse if used incorrectly. In the bonus module, I show you when AI enhancement is worth it, when it’s not, and how to use it wisely so you don’t ruin your only copy.
Some tapes can be cleaned or played on different machines to improve results, but badly damaged tapes may not be fully recoverable. The course teaches you how to spot potential issues, test your tapes safely, and decide when it’s worth trying again or seeking professional help.
For a few tapes, a professional service can make sense. But if you have a lot of tapes, or you want full control over your files, doing it yourself with this course is usually far more cost‑effective. You also keep the original files, can make as many copies as you like, and you learn a skill you can use again and again.
