Video and Cassette Tapes are basically iron (or similar) dust glued to plastic ribbon. When this is exposed to a magnetic field (the record head), parts of the material are partially magnetized. The magnetic patterns are used to encode information. While the tape is only magnetized to a small degree, sensitive electronics can read the changes in strength and then translate that back to sound and picture. Over time the methods used to hold the powder coating begin to lose stickiness and the tape begins to come apart. Your wedding video or favorite tape slowly fades away. As time passes your videotape is losing picture quality, while your cassettes loose dynamic range and gain higher levels of noise. Ten to twelve years is the accepted average life span for videotape and cassette. Some of your prize videos and cassettes are on the verge of self-destruction. Fortunately, Compact Disc (CD) and Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) media has come along to save us.
