Transfers
Archival-Grade Transfers & Digital Conversions We provide premium, flat-rate digitization services, regardless of tape length. Capturing standard-definition footage for playback on today's high-definition screens requires meticulous attention to detail, especially for media that has suffered physical damage of any type.
Unlike automated transfer factories, our capture process is actively monitored by dedicated technicians. We constantly adjust signals and tracking to extract the absolute best possible picture quality from magnetic technology created decades ago. Whether your tape requires heavy physical repair or is still in working order, we ensure the final digital copy meets our strict archival standards and is the best version of the source material.
The 40% Repair Discount & The "Safety Net" Because our facility is primarily optimized for forensic tape restoration, we offer digitization as a seamless convenience for our repair clients. If your tape requires physical repair or mold remediation, you automatically unlock an exclusive 40% discount on all transfer services. Furthermore, we know shipping irreplaceable memories can be stressful. For your complete peace of mind, every digitized order is securely backed up on our encrypted hard drives for four weeks after your order ships. If anything happens to your package in transit, your footage is perfectly safe and can be provided to you instantly.
Data File Conversions (USB / Hard Drive)
The modern standard. Perfect for editing, sharing, or backing up to the cloud. Once your footage is captured, we convert it to a high-quality data file (.mp4, .mov, etc.). To maintain our uncompressed quality standards, the best delivery method is a USB thumb drive or external hard drive to avoid reducing footage quality. You may provide your own drive, or we can provide an appropriately sized drive at cost.
Highest quality, uncompressed transfer is standard.
$32 per tape (Only $19.20 with the 40% Repair Discount!)
Archival DVD Transfers
The classic physical backup. Easy to play, easy to store. We proudly use Taiyo Yuden DVDs, widely regarded as the best available disc with the longest lifespan in the industry. Our transfers use the DVD-Video format without copyright protection, meaning you can easily "rip" the footage to your computer later if desired.
Direct, high-quality transfer to archival DVD-Video.
$29 per tape (Only $17.40 with the 40% Repair Discount!)
Additional copies: $9.50 each.
The "Rule of Three" Backup Bundle
The ultimate protection for irreplaceable memories. DVDs and USB drives have overlapping use cases, but they both carry physical risks. A disc can be scratched, and a thumb drive can be lost. We strongly recommend the archival "Rule of Three": storing irreplaceable footage in at least three different ways. This bundle provides your original tape, a DVD, and a digital data file.
Includes both the Archival DVD and the USB Data File conversion.
$57 per tape (Only $34.20 with the 40% Repair Discount!)
Instant Cloud Delivery & Sharing (Add-On Service for Data File Conversions)
Don't wait for the mail. Watch and share your memories the moment they are ready. With Instant Cloud Delivery, you receive a private, unlisted link to your footage the moment our restoration work is complete. Because we do not compromise on quality, our recovered files are massive (often exceeding 5GB per hour). While competitors heavily compress footage to make it fit in an email, we provide the uncompressed master file directly to your browser.
Instant Gratification: Watch your high-quality .mp4 video on your phone or computer without needing to download it first.
Easy Family Sharing: Simply forward your private link to friends and family anywhere in the world.
30-Day Cloud Hosting: Your footage is hosted securely for four weeks, giving everyone ample time to view and download the master files.
$25 flat rate per order. (Note: To guarantee the lifelong safety of your large archival files, this service is an add-on to our standard USB delivery. Your physical drive will still ship as normal to serve as your permanent physical vault. For larger collections exceeding 20 tapes, we will upload up to 20 "Highlight" tapes of your choosing for instant access while the rest of your collection ships).
