Questions you may have about the Video Tape to DVD transfer...
Can you make my video tapes look HD or even 4K?
In short, no. Video tapes were used back when standard definition was the norm. It was a much lower resolution that what we have today. When we transfer your tapes they may appear fuzzy or slightly out of focus on today’s HD and 4K TVs and computer monitors. This is normal.
Can I rent or borrow a player so I can watch my tapes first before having them transferred?
Sorry, but we don’t do either. However, when owner Rob Jones meets with you to pick up your project he’ll be happy to bring a player so you and he can watch some of your video tapes together.
When will I get everything?
Depends on how many you give us, the condition of it/them and what all you wish for us to do with it/them. If it’s just a few we can finish them usually within a week.
I’d like to check your business out further. Are you on Facebook?

We won’t transfer sexually explicit or copyright material like Disney movies for example.
