Will you keep my video tapes in the same order?
Straight answer from RVA Rewind, a local media digitizing studio in Richmond, Virginia. We help with VHS, VHS-C, Video8, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, and many related consumer camcorder formats.
Yes, at RVA Rewind, we prioritize keeping your VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi8, or MiniDV tapes in the exact order you send them. Our Richmond, Virginia-based team understands how important organization is when preserving your memories, so we meticulously maintain your sequence during video tape digitization. We strive to ensure your digitized videos, delivered as MP4 or HEVC files, reflect the same order, making it easy to relive your moments as intended. To help us achieve this, we recommend labeling your tapes with titles, dates, or other identifiers and providing a list specifying your preferred order. This simple step ensures accuracy, especially for large collections.
Our process is designed for precision: each tape is handled individually, digitized with state-of-the-art equipment, and returned in its original condition alongside your digital files (via USB thumb drive or secure digital download) within 3-6 weeks or sooner. Clear labeling and your provided list streamline our workflow, reducing the chance of mix-ups. With over 30 years of expertise, RVA Rewind offers trusted VHS to digital services, combining careful organization with high-quality video transfer. Whether you’re converting family memories or archival footage, our personalized approach sets us apart. Choose RVA Rewind for reliable video tape digitization in Richmond, VA, and let us preserve your memories in the order that matters to you.

Video tape is fragile: magnetic binder can shed, mold can grow in damp storage, and playback decks are getting harder to maintain. A careful transfer captures the best remaining signal so you can watch, share, and back up home movies without wearing the originals.
- Send or drop off your labeled tapes with any notes about order or special requests.
