Common problems
VHS decays. Camcorder tape decays faster. Cassettes decay too — the magnetic coating that holds the recording physically breaks down over time, and every year a tape sits in a box, the odds of pulling a clean transfer off it get a little worse.
Digitizing turns whatever’s left into a file that doesn’t age — playable on a phone, a laptop, or a TV, and easy to back up in more than one place. The transfer itself is straightforward; the harder part is usually just getting the tapes off the shelf and in the door before they’re unwatchable.
This pairs naturally with a VCR or DVD player repair — a working deck is what makes a clean transfer possible in the first place, so a sticking or belt-worn player often gets serviced as part of the same visit.

What it costs
Pricing generally scales with how many tapes you’re bringing in and their format. A single tape is affordable; a full box of family VHS is usually worth a call to talk through timing and cost together.
