At The Tribe, we spend a lot of time thinking about memories. Not the big, polished movie moments. The little ones. The ordinary ones.

Many households in Warrnambool still have VHS and Mini DV tapes stored away, but not everyone realises how quickly these tapes can deteriorate. Understanding how these tapes work helps explain why digitising them is so important. VHS and Mini DV tapes are magnetic tape formats. They store video and audio information on a magnetic strip...

It usually starts the same way for many families in Colac. Someone is cleaning out a cupboard, the garage, or a storage room and finds a box full of old VHS tapes and Mini DV camcorder tapes. The labels read things like “Christmas 2001,” “Family Holiday,” “Sarah’s Birthday,” or sometimes nothing at all. The tapes...
