NOW IT IS MUCH EASIER TO SHARE YOUR OLD MOVIES.

Video Tapes to DVD

Video tapes use magnetic media to store the image, and this, by its very nature, is not a good long term storage solution.

We can transfer your tapes to standard or archival DVD for much more secure long term storage.

The main types of tape we handle are:

VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, 8mm, Digital 8, Micro MV and MiniDV, but we are able to do many other less common formats.

How do you transfer the tapes?

All video tapes are transferred to DVD using a professional system. Many of our tape players are Sony and all tapes are converted into MPEG2 format, we then add 5 minute invisible markers throughout the movie, to enable a better viewing experience. We will put a maximum of 90 minutes onto a DVD anymore and the quality starts to deteriorate, and for the camcorder tapes, we put each one onto a separate DVD.

All video tapes are transferred to DVD in store, so your precious memories cannot get lost in the post.

Tell me about the DVD’s you make?

DVD’s are labelled and packaged in Amaray anti stress cases to protect you DVD for years to come.
