Video Conversion

now it is much easier to share your old movies.

Video Tapes to DVD/USB

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 archival DVD or USB for much more secure long term storage.

The main types of tape we handle are:

VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, 8mm, Digital 8, Betamax 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 or USB in store using our professional in-house equipment.

Please note the maximum recording time on a DVD is 2 hours for analogue quality and 4 hours for digital quality.

All of our DVDs are archival quality and are multi-regional for maximum compatibility.

Cine Films to DVD

We can transfer your old movies to DVD, and then we can copy the DVD to make it easier for you to SHARE all those great old memories with family and friends.

Super 8, Standard 8, 16mm and even 9.5mm Centre Perf Pathe can be copied onto DVD for you to preserve those old memories.

Many movie films are starting to show signs of age, so don’t delay in archiving those old moving memories onto DVD.

Tell me about the DVD’s you make?

We offer Archival DVD’s as standard which are guaranteed for 100 years, and additional copy DVD's are available for just £10.00 each. All DVD’s are –R format for maximum compatibility but we can transfer onto +R discs on request.

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

Will I get my old video tapes back?

Yes, your tapes will be returned.

How long does it take?

5 days, at peak periods it may take a little longer.

How much does it cost?

Here is our price list for VHS, Mini DV & Video 8 to DVD/USB copying. The price depends on the amount of time on each cassette/tape. For example, if there was 1hr 42mins it would come under the “Up to 2hrs” bracket and would therefore cost £17.50. Additional copies of the DVD/USB are available for just £10.00 each.
