What do I do when I'm done recording?
 

The greatest advantage of using a VHS camcorder is that the media is instantly portable. There is no need to finalize or do anything else to the tape after you're finished recording. You can take it out of the camcorder and use it just about anywhere.

If you need the footage converted to DVD or miniDV, please contact Media Services at 610-921-7207 or use the Video Conversion and Duplication online form.
