Jungnang Cultural Center Videotape Video Digital Conversion Service

5000 Won Per Tape, Up to 2 Tapes Can Be Ordered, Approximately 1 Week Required

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Old memories stored in video tapes tucked away in the corners of homes are being revived.

Jungnang-gu (District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) announced that Jungnang Cultural Center (Director Kim Tae-woong) will provide a year-round service to convert video tape footage into digital format.

This is to convert video tapes, which have been kept without a way to play them, into digital videos so that family events such as weddings and first birthday parties can be cherished and enjoyed for a long time.

Since the service started last April, there has been a strong response from residents, with 156 people requesting 271 conversions in just over a month.

Residents who wish to convert videos should bring their video tapes, a USB with at least 16GB capacity, and an ID card, and visit the Jungnang Cultural Center on the 3rd floor of Jungnang Community Center (238 Myeonmok-ro) on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (lunch break from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.).

The cost is 5,000 KRW per video tape, and each person can apply for up to two tapes.

Only videos personally recorded can be converted; concert or drama footage is not allowed. After applying, it takes about a week to receive the USB containing the converted video tape footage.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “We ask for the interest and applications of residents for this service that can strengthen family bonds,” and added, “We hope you will forever keep memories filled with longing times and people you want to meet through digital videos.”
