Convert Video Tapes or Audio Tapes to a Hard Drive
Professional and experienced transfer of your video tapes to a hard drive using high quality equipment. Your video will last beyond a lifetime, and your memories will be preserved for generations to come.
I had originally taken my broken mini DV tape to a local video repair shop and they couldn't fix it. I decided to try one more time and sent the mini DV tape to your company for repair. Not only was the repair perfect but also within 3 days. I'm very pleased.

Sending us your Tapes
When sending us your VHS tapes please make sure to properly package them in a box in bubble wrap and try to avoid using packing popcorn. Also shipping using a tracking number is highly advisable. Please do not use UPS ground as their Rates for Customs Clearance into Canada are excessive compared to other couriers. If you can, please use the United States Postal Service's ground shipping as their rates are the most reasonable. To make processing your order easier please label your tapes and include detailed instructions on what services are being performed on which tapes. Turnaround time is about 1 week from the time we receive your tapes but large orders may take longer. Once the conversions have been finished we will notify you and provide a return tracking number. Rush orders are also available but are subject to a 15% fee. If you have any questions at all do not hesitate to Contact Us.
