It's Time To Transfer Those Tapes
Video Tape Transfer & Digitizing in Muskegon, MI
Those VHS tapes sitting in your basement aren't getting any younger — and neither is the footage on them. Video tape formats degrade over time, and every year you wait increases the risk of losing those memories forever. Our trained archiving experts will convert your tapes to digital files so you can watch, share, and preserve them on any modern device.
Your tapes never leave our Muskegon, Michigan facility. We don't ship your irreplaceable home videos off to a warehouse — everything is handled in-house by our own team, start to finish. Once your video transfer is complete, your original tapes are returned to you along with your digital files.
Every tape is rewound and then captured start to finish to ensure we recover all content. If a tape stops prior to expected recording times, we capture it a second time for verification.
Once your tape is captured, a trained technician will review the footage for negative space and commercial content - which gets removed from the final output. We evaluate each tape for the best possible quality and then return the digital files in the output of your choosing. We can provide you digital files on a USB flash drive, a digital download or a DVD disc.
If your tapes are labeled, we'll keep the content in chronological order. Have special notes? We'll do our best to include them. These are precious memories, so if you have a special request or questions - please ask us!
