Tape questions
Can you repair damaged or broken tapes?
If a tape is snapped or the mechanism is broken, we can usually repair it as part of the service at no extra charge. If the repair is more complicated, we’ll contact you before doing any work to explain the problem and the cost.
Can you transfer mouldy tapes?
Usually, yes. Mould can damage both the tape and our machines, so we clean mouldy tapes in a separate cleaning machine before playing them. This often lets us recover the footage, although the picture may not be perfect. If a tape is so badly damaged that it keeps snapping, we may not be able to complete the transfer.
Can you make my tapes HD or widescreen?
No, and we’d be wary of anyone who says they can. VHS was recorded at around 720 × 480 pixels in a 4:3 shape. Upscaling or stretching it doesn’t add detail and can make the picture look worse. We give you the best possible copy of what’s actually on the tape.
I only want parts of a tape. Will that cost less?
Not usually. Transferring selected sections means a technician watching the whole tape and stopping and starting at the right points, which takes longer than transferring the whole thing. It’s normally cheaper to transfer the full tape and edit the file afterwards. We always remove blank sections at the start and end.
Can you edit my videos into one film?
Yes. Once you’ve watched your videos, we can put together a new film of the best bits, for example a one-hour highlights reel or one for a special occasion. We’ll price it separately based on the work involved.
What if some tapes are blank or full of TV?
If a tape is blank, full of TV programmes, or only has a couple of minutes of your own footage, we won’t charge for it.
