Digital Transfer Stations

Westlake Porter Public Library has several Digital Transfer Stations you can use for free!

Contact Adult Services with questions and to schedule time at a station. You’re guaranteed two hours with the equipment (and four hours with the VHS to DVD converter), but if no one else is signed up after you, you may continue to use it.

Bring a USB flash drive or SD card with you (no larger than 32 GB) to save your work.

Library staff will not help you create your project, but they will point you in the right direction to online or paper help.

Skip Convert VHS to DVD Converter widget

Bring in a blank DVD-R and signup at the Reference Desk for up to 4 hours to transfer home movies and other memories from VHS. 

Skip Video Capture widget

Transfer video to a Mac or PC from a VCR, DVR, camcorder, or any other analog video device. Available at the Reference desk.

Skip Reel to Reel Silent Film Converter widget

Convert your short movie reels into digital movies (no sound) simply. Works like a typical projector where you mount up to a 9-inch reel, insert a memory card, press a few buttons and create a file up to 32 GB.
