Convert Camcorder Tapes to Digital

Yes! We convert a wide range of camcorder formats to digital—including standard VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, Hi8, Video8, and Digital8. If it came from a camcorder, there’s a good chance we can digitize it. Just send us your tapes, and we’ll handle the rest.

Our pricing is based on how much recorded content is on each tape—you only pay for the actual converted video time. For a quick estimate, check out our conversion calculator or contact us for a custom quote.

Yup! You don’t need any old gear—we have all the equipment needed to transfer your special memories.

You can try doing it yourself, but it usually requires a working camcorder, specific cables (like FireWire or RCA), video capture hardware, and the right software. Most people prefer to send their tapes to a professional service like ours—it’s easier, faster, and results in higher-quality files.

 We convert your camcorder footage to high-quality MP4 files by default. MP4 is super compatible and works on computers, phones, TVs, and more. If you need another format (like MOV or AVI), just let us know!

Totally normal! We can still convert them. If there’s no usable footage, we only charge a small flat fee per tape. Otherwise, you’re billed based on the actual converted video time.

Definitely. We can deliver your files on a USB stick or as a downloadable link—whatever works best for you. USB is a popular choice since it’s durable and easy to store or share.

Yes! If your camcorder tapes include random TV recordings or blank sections, we can edit them out for you.  We can also perform detailed editing (like cutting clips, adding titles, or combining footage). Our editing service is $45/hour with a 30-minute minimum.

We’ll name the digital files based on any labels you provide with your tapes. If you have specific requests for how you’d like them organized, just let us know!

At the moment, we only support NTSC (the North American standard). If you have PAL tapes, reach out—we’re tracking demand and may add support in the future.

It depends on how many tapes you’re sending and our current queue. Turnaround is usually a couple of weeks, but reach out for a more accurate timeline based on your project.
