Hi8, Mini DV, Digital 8 and VHS-C transferred to DVD or any file format
Small camcorder tapes need the right deck. We keep working Video8, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, DV, DVCAM and HDV machines so your footage transfers cleanly rather than glitching.
Digital tapes captured, not re-recorded
Digital8, MiniDV, DVCAM and HDV tapes are captured digitally over FireWire where applicable, avoiding an additional analogue generation. Analogue Video8 and Hi8 tapes are played on professional decks through a time base corrector to stabilise the signal and reduce jitter and dropouts.
- Video 8, Hi8, Digital 8, MiniDV, DV, DVCAM, HDV, VHS-C and S-VHS-C
- Lossless digital capture where the format allows
- Recorded date and timecode retained where present
- MP4 or ProRes files, USB, hard drive or DVD
Tapes that will not play
Jammed cassettes, snapped tape and mouldy shells are repaired by hand before transfer. If we cannot recover anything from it, there is nothing to pay.
Small tapes are rarely all one format. If you also have full-size VHS or Betamax in the same box, send it all together and we will quote it as one job covering multiple tape formats.
