Yep! MiniDV tapes are digital, but that doesn’t mean they’re easy to access. Even though the footage is recorded digitally, you still need the right hardware, software, and cables to convert it—unless you send it to us and let us handle the tech headaches.
Most MiniDV tapes hold 60 to 90 minutes of footage, depending on the recording mode. If your tape is in SP (standard play), it’s usually 60 minutes. In LP (long play), it can go up to 90. Either way, we’ll only charge you for the actual recorded time we convert.
