Home Videos
Were you one of the first on the block to enthusiastically annoy family and friends by recording their every activity on your newfangled video camcorder?
Well now you can annoy them again by making them watch hours and hours of those same videos, made accessible and easy to watch and share on all your media-playing devices!
We can even edit out that part where you walked around Disney World for 45 minutes with the camera hanging by your side, still rolling.
Why should I digitize my home videos?
- 8mm video cassettes damage easily and video quality deteriorates over time
- Digitized videos can be securely stored for the future
- Multiple tapes can be consolidated into a single video
- A single video can be split into multiple, shorter videos
- Video files can be edited and unwanted footage can be deleted
- Title pages can be added to help the viewer know dates, locations, and people
- Old videos become easy to share with others, no matter where they live :
On social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc)
On YouTube
By a link to your Cloud storage provider
On physical media such as USB drives
What types of video media do you digitize?
We can transfer home videos from all varieties of 8mm video cartridges including Video8, Hi8, and Digital 8.
We can also digitize videos from standard VHS tapes and duplicate audio cassettes.
Contact us if you don't see the media type you wish to transfer. We are always adding new capabilities.
What do I get at the end of the project?
- Scanned movies at 1296p native resolution in MPEG-4 format
- 1 mp4 file per reel of film
- Choice of delivery media
- USB drive
- SD or Mini-SD card
- DVD
- Online photo storage service (ie Google Photos, Amazon Photos, etc)
