Years ago, we came across our families video tapes, forgotten about at the bottom of a wardrobe. Decades of forgotten memories, some of which we had never seen before!

Here we were, in the same position as our customers. So many options… who do you trust with your priceless, irreplaceable memories? The overpriced high street shops who send your tapes to a third party company? Your colleges second cousin who does them on his dusty VHS to DVD all in one converter he got back in 2005?

We never found anything we thought was suitable. So we eventually bought one of those ‘VHS USB capture devices’ you can get on amazon for £20 to see what it was like. It was headache to get it working however, the drivers were only made for Windows XP… only 15 years out of date. With hours of forum searching and driver finding we eventually got it to work. It did function as it should, we got the video and sound from the VCR, but the quality was just awful. Interlaced lines, faded colour and an overall pixelated mess was all we got. To be fair, it was better than nothing, but these were our tapes. We wanted to capture and preserve them in the very best possible quality!

And so began our journey into the world of analogue tape digitisation. We learned everything possible about video equipment and capture techniques and bought a few machines to try them out. The results were so much better. It was at this point I started to become really interested and quite passionate about vintage tape media and I knew it was something I would enjoy to do. I already run a small videography business, so why not offer a tape transfer service along side it?

Over the years we have invested in a huge array of equipment and learned how to maintain and fix them when they inevitably break down or develop faults. We are constantly purchasing new decks and expanding the range of formats which we can operate.

We only settle for the best! And we understand each customer is in the exact same situation as we were all those years ago.

We promise to treat your own tapes as we would our own, and strive for the best possible transfer!
