How VHS-C Tapes Lose Quality Over Time
VHS tapes degrade over time, approximately 10 to 20% over 10 to 25 years. There are lots of reasons for this. Temperature changes, sunlight, moisture, and other variables can impact the durability of the cassette box itself. When the plastic weakens, it may break and expose more of the magnetic tape.
With the tape, the magnetic particles can lose charge over time to remanence decay, which can cause your home movies to suffer from discolouration as well as blacked out portions of video. In fact, over time you could lose your entire videos because of this loss of magnetic charge that occurs naturally.
While storing your tapes in a cool, dry place away from magnetic sources can reduce the likelihood of losing quality for your VHS-C tapes, it is almost impossible to prevent deterioration completely, which is why it’s crucial to preserve your memories by digitising the VHS cassettes.
