Digitisation
Before the tape falls apart.
We transfer video cassettes, cine film, tape reels and records onto modern media, while that is still possible. Played back on suitable period equipment, cleanly digitised.
What you get back
Your recordings on a USB stick, external hard drive or CD/DVD, audio also as MP3. On request with picture and sound restoration. That costs a little more and takes a little longer, but it is worth it for damaged material.
How it works
Tell us via the form what you have. We estimate the work and give you a quote before we start. Payment on collection, cash or card.
Important
We cannot copy copyright-protected material. Please bring or send fragile tapes well packed. For mouldy or stuck-together media we will tell you frankly whether an attempt is worthwhile.
