Process

We use a state of the art film scanner brought in from the USA to capture every single frame of your films. After being scanned, each frame is then joined together to create a video. The editing process continues by cleaning up the framing and other aspects for the final video. Lastly we add some music that fits the content and now it’s ready to watch on any computer, smart phone or smart TV.

If a reel has sound attached to it, we are unable to convert it unfortunately, only the picture. It’s quite easy to tell if a reel has sound, I’d be happy to check if you’re unsure.

FAQ

All conversions work in real time. So if it’s a 2 hour tape, it will take at least 2 hours to convert. Once the tape has been converted we then transfer the file to your USB/hard drive, which can generally be done within an hour.

If you need your tape transferred urgently, we can put a rush on orders to accommodate deadlines.

We recommend 1GB per hour. So if you have a 2 hour tape, you will need a 2GB USB. If you have 4 x 4 hour tapes, then you will need a 16GB USB or hard drive.

Large sized USBs can easily be provided for a cost if you need one.

We certainly do. Further discussion can be made to figure out the final price before anything goes ahead.

Some basic fixes can be made to tapes, but unfortunately we’re unable to guarantee anything. If we’re unable to make a transfer, we’ll return it with the successful transfers without any additional charge.
