All video conversions are processed though Sony time-base correctors and a digital audio chain for the highest available quality.

Our rates start at $20/hour for simple VHS or 3/4" to DVD (or other digital format) and are scaled based on source/destination format, source material condition, and destination media availability, and options (slate, bars, edit points, titles). Digital file delivery for source and destination is available via the Internet in lieu of physical media transfer.

We can also provide editing services (compilations), given your timed edit points and title cards. Be sure to ask for a custom quote!
Attention Schools!

MANY elementary and high schools around this country first got their hands on some very early Sony reel to reel systems in the late 60s and early 70s. Even though you got rid of that "old reel to reel" video recorder and camera years ago, the recorded video can still be part of your historical archives, but the tape IS getting old, and the longer you wait for conversion, the lower is the chance of a high quality transfer!
We are offering 1/2 price for all School video and audio conversions!
