Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge the same price for short VHS or camcorder tapes?

We do charge less for shorter video tapes, but the discount depends on the type of tape. Formats such as VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, Video8, MiniDV, and professional tapes can have different length-based pricing, so a short tape in one format may not receive the same reduction as a short tape in another.

As standard practice, we still capture the usable content carefully—every tape is loaded, monitored, and processed individually. If you have a mix of short and full-length tapes, contact us or use our estimate form and we will price the order clearly based on the formats and approximate lengths before work begins.

This keeps pricing fair for shorter recordings while ensuring each tape type is handled correctly.
