How is video tape quality preserved when digitizing?

We capture VHS, VHS-C, Video8, Hi8, MiniDV, and related formats carefully in Richmond, VA, then deliver standard digital files you can play on computers, smart TVs, and phones.

Typical delivery: MP4 (H.264), standard-definition progressive video suitable for everyday viewing and sharing. Professional options such as ProRES are available on request for editing workflows.

What we preserve: We transfer the usable content from the tape with professional decks and monitoring. Optional add-ons—noise reduction, color correction, and editing—can further improve the look after capture.

What you get back: Digital files on USB and/or download, plus your original tapes. Turnaround is usually about 3–6 weeks depending on order size. Details and estimates are on our video transfer page.
