We know tape.
Every format. Every era.
We convert videotape to digital — every videocassette format, from the massive VHS tapes of the 80s to the tiny MiniDV cartridges of the 2000s. Mail your tapes in from anywhere in the U.S., or drop them off locally in the Whitmore Lake area — we've handled them all, and we treat every one like the irreplaceable family record it is.
TAPE SPECIALISTS
We don't dabble in dozens of formats. Videocassette is our lane — which means we've invested in the right decks, calibration, and workflows to get the absolute best transfer from your tapes.
YOUR ORIGINALS ARE SACRED
Every tape is logged on arrival, stored safely, and returned to you. We take reasonable care when handling customer media and maintain commercial insurance coverage for shipping and processing risks. Coverage is subject to carrier terms, policy limits, and the limitations described in our Terms of Service.
LOCAL ROOTS, PROVEN PROCESS
Based in Whitmore Lake, MI, serving the Ann Arbor and Brighton corridors. No corporate middleman, no overseas processing. A real person handles your tapes.
HD FILES, FAST DELIVERY
Your tapes come back as clean HD MP4 files, delivered via secure download link within 7–10 business days. Optional USB drive available as an add-on.
PROFESSIONAL-GRADE DECKS
Panasonic AG-series VCRs, Sony consumer and prosumer camcorder decks. We play your tape on hardware built for it — not a consumer workaround that risks damage.
HUMAN COMMUNICATION
You'll hear from an actual person at every step. Order confirmation, shipping receipt, processing update, and delivery. No chatbots. No silence. No guessing.
Seven formats.
One obsession.
VHS & VHS-C
The format that defined home recording for two decades. Birthdays, holidays, graduations, little league, news recordings, home videos you forgot existed — it's all still on those tapes. We use professional Panasonic AG-series VCRs, properly calibrated, for frame-accurate capture. VHS-C cassettes slot right in with a mechanical adapter at no extra charge.
CAMCORDER TAPES
The compact cassette formats that powered a generation of handheld camcorders. Soccer games, school plays, family trips, first steps — often better quality than VHS, and often completely forgotten in a drawer. We play these on purpose-built Sony and Canon consumer and prosumer decks, not adapters, for the cleanest possible transfer.
BETAMAX COMING SOON
The format that lost the format war but captured plenty of memories along the way. Betamax cassettes require specialist hardware and careful handling — we're getting the pipeline ready. If your old tapes are Beta, feel free to email us with questions — we're happy to talk it through, though we can't take Beta orders just yet.
VOLUME DISCOUNTS
The more tapes you send, the more you save. Most families have more than one box — send them all at once and we'll apply the discount automatically.
DELIVERY & RUSH OPTIONS
Choose how you receive your files. Need them fast? Rush processing is available for time-sensitive orders — reunions, memorials, anniversaries.
Simple as hitting PLAY.
TELL US WHAT YOU HAVE
Fill out the form below with a rough description of your tapes. Not sure of the format? That's fine — just describe what you've got. We'll respond within 24 hours with a firm per-tape quote and a prepaid shipping label. No commitment required.
SHIP YOUR TAPES
Pack your tapes carefully in a sturdy box with padding. We'll email you a prepaid shipping label — just print it, attach it to your box, and drop it off at your nearest USPS location. Your tapes are insured from the moment they leave your hands.
WE LOG & INSPECT EVERY TAPE
Each tape gets a unique ID, a photo log, and a playback check before we begin. You'll receive an arrival confirmation with your full item list within 24 hours of the package landing at our studio.
REAL-TIME CAPTURE, ONE TAPE AT A TIME
Every tape is played back at full speed on a properly calibrated deck and captured in real time to a lossless source. We don't batch process. We don't rush. Your recordings are treated as worth preserving — every one of them.
