DVD vs MP4 on USB: Which is Best for Your Digitised Videos?

Why MP4 on USB is Usually the Best Choice

Future-proof – MP4 is the universal video format.

Easy to share with family.

Stores dozens of tapes on one USB stick.

No quality loss when copied.

Easy to edit later.

Takes up almost no storage space.

When DVDs Still Make Sense

Why Many Customers Choose Both

MP4 for everyday viewing.

DVD for older family members.

Physical backup.

Best of both worlds.

At Surrey Video, we recommend MP4 on USB as your main format because it offers the best quality, flexibility and long-term compatibility. If family members still enjoy watching DVDs, we can also supply professionally authored DVDs at the same time, or even years later.
