Tape Transfer FAQ

Yes! We repair MOST tapes for an additional fee of $30 per tape. The initial tape will be ruined, and you will likely receive the tape back disassembled, but we'll do our best to preserve as much as we can.

Yes we do. For 10 or more tapes at a time, we do offer a discount. Please inquire!

Yes we do!

Each DVD can hold 2 hours. We will use additional DVDs for basic transfers if your tape runs over the 2 hour time limit, at no additional charge.

That is not an option with a basic transfer. Inquire about costs to have this done.

We transfer 2 hours onto the first DVD. If the tape has less than 5 minutes of video footage on it, we do not transfer to another DVD. If it has more than 5 minutes, another DVD is recorded.

Our basic transfer services are for the whole tape. You can inquire about additional charges for us to transfer segments of a tape.

We transfer tape in a digital environment, to get the best possible results. When there is no video/audio signal on the tape, "snow" is not recorded, but rather a blue screen. This also happens when you record the tape, you stop...leave the tape for a bit, and start recording at a later date. The signal is missing on the tape for a small amount of time, usually just a few seconds.

The only real option we have to help you determine if you want the tape transferred, is to let us know what you DONT' want transferred. For instance, if you aren't sure if the tape is of your family, or old re-runs of The Gong Show, just let us know not to transfer it if it appears to be a TV show. Be careful though, we will only watch the first minute or so of a tape to determine this.

Unfortunately we are not equipped to provide a viewing room.

The time varies from 2-3 business days, depending on the time of year, and how many jobs are in-house at the time.

Yes. We do not damage or otherwise alter your tapes in any way.
