We will, of course, give you a generous discount if you drop in 21 or more Video8 tapes - the price then drops to only £10 per camcorder tape.

Editable MP4 Computer Files
AVI Editable computer files from your VHS video tapes are possible for both MACs and PCs. We produced uncompressed AVI files for home computer editing. Editable file sizes are very large and you will need to supply an external hard drive or large capacity USB stick. One hour of video can take up to 5gb of space. We can supply you with a sutable USB stick on request, at a small additional cost.
Extra DVDs
Although DVDs last a lifetime without deterioration in quality one scratch or scuff mark will render it unplayable. For this reason we strongly advise you to order an extra DVD back up copy of your Video8 transfer work - the cost is only £6 per tape and well worth it for peace of mind.
Video8 & Copyright
By asking us to transfer your Video8 camcorder tape you are giving us an assurance that you are the copyright owner or that you have permission from the copyright owner to duplicate the work.
We only accept Video8 to DVD transfer work on this basis.
Video8 More Info
NTSC-PAL
Many countries around the world use the NTSC format, including Japan, USA and many countries in South America.
So if your Video8 tape was originally filmed in any of these countries it will need to be converted to PAL format to play on UK TV systems.
The cost of NTSC Video8 transfer to PAL and encoded to DVD is £40 per Hi8 video tape. Substantial discounts are given for quantities
Video Tape Repair
We can fix any type of physical damage to the tape such as snapped or entangled tape, tapes which are immediately ejected and replacing the tape housing.
We cannot generally fix problems associated with bad recordings (too light or too dark), camera equipment malfunctions and sound problems. If you have accidentally erased the tape we cannot restore the footage.
