Our Video Conversion Services

VHS to DVD Transfer (Under 30 minutes)

Ideal for short clips, messages or old family snippets. Your footage is converted to DVD and playable on standard DVD players.

Standard Video to DVD (30 minutes to 1.5 hours)

Perfect for longer home videos. We recommend keeping each DVD under 1 hour for the best quality and least compression, but we can accommodate up to 90 minutes per disc.

Full Digital Conversion – Uncompressed Files

We create a full digital archive of your footage, saved in uncompressed formats (average file size: 13GB per tape). Far superior to basic DVD or MP4 conversions. You’ll receive your footage on a USB stick or external hard drive, compatible with PCs, laptops and even some smart TVs.

Video Upscaling to HD (Optional)

Want to share your old videos on YouTube, Facebook or other platforms? We can upscale your Standard Definition (SD) footage to High Definition (HD MP4). This ensures your video remains sharp even after social media compression.

Footage Enhancement (Optional Add-ons)

  • Noise Reduction – Clean up grainy or low-light footage

  • Brightness and Contrast Correction – Improve dark or dull recordings

  • Camera Stabilisation – Reduce handheld camera shake

  • Colour Correction – Restore balance and clarity

How It Works

  1. Bring your tapes in for an assessment

  2. We use Time Base Corrected VHS playback for a stable capture

  3. Your footage is transferred in uncompressed quality

  4. Optional enhancements or upscaling applied as requested

  5. Your video is returned on DVD, USB, or drive – your tape too, is of course given back to you.

Why Uncompressed Digital Transfer is Better

Many home or online services convert directly to compressed MP4 formats, which can reduce quality significantly. Our method captures every detail using high-end equipment, ensuring the highest quality playback and editing potential. With a full digital transfer, you preserve up to three times more data per tape than with DVD-only services.

We Convert a Wide Range of Media Formats

  • VHS, VHS-C, S-VHS

  • MiniDV, Hi8, 8mm tapes

  • Camcorder tapes (all brands and formats)

  • Audio cassettes, microcassettes
