Camcorder Videos – Super 8 Films, Audio Cassettes Hi8 Video, VHS C mini tapes, Slides & Photos
I transfer all the above formats and more with care and attention to quality. Camcorder and film rates are based on length of actual recorded time. In our opinion this is the the most cost effective and economical way of approaching pricing. Tapes are actively monitored for picture clarity and sound. Tapes are upscaled to 16×9 (wide screen) format for optimal viewing. Final product is provided on USB drive (available for purchase). Movies can be played on Mac or PC.

Remember: Any the media below can degrade with time and become untransferable depending on how they were stored, the camera they were shot on and other factors. Camcorder tapes and audio cassettes can lose their magnetism and become pixilated, even moldy and unplayable. 8mm films are on an organic material- mold can destroy them. Even the DVDs you had transferred from videotape a while ago can experience “colour shift” as the dyes fade, rendering them unplayable. MP4 video files are sharable and long lasting. Time is ticking. It makes good sense to have your family memories preserved sooner than later. As someone who transfers a lot of media, I have to tell you the unfortunately there is such a thing as “too late”.
