Cost is for a direct transfer of the raw footage from tape and VHS.
Any additional work (add title pages, music, scene transitions and editing) will incur extra cost.
Important to note
Whilst we will do our utmost to provide you with the best possible tape transfer, there are a number of problems that may exist:
- The magnetic particles in the tape’s binding that store the image and audio lose their charge, causing audio and visual distortions, static, bleeding colours and fuzzy edges.
- Converting from analogue to digital will result in a loss quality.
- How the tape has been stored, the quality of the original tape used.
- Resolution of VHS tapes are typically digitized at 480p, which is about half the resolution of high definition.
- VHS tapes are usually digitized at 24–29 frames per second, which is lower than most TVs’ maximum refresh rate.
- Malfunction and breakage due to mould, dust, grime, overuse and underuse.
If we feel the quality is not good enough, we will send a snippet of the video to you and you can decide if you would like to go ahead with the transfer.

Important to note
Whilst we will do our utmost to provide you with the best possible film transfer, it will depend on how the film has been stored. If not stored in typical steel film case, the film may have deteriorated and vinegar syndrome set-in.
