Simply gather all your video tapes, film reels, and DVDs, and fill out our online enquiry form.
You'll receive an obligation-free quotation within 24 hours, and we will guide you every step of the way!
Our five (5) Step approach in detail:
​
STEP 1 - Media Conversions
-
Provide all your old video media (film reels, video tapes and DVDs) that you would like to have converted to digital video.
-
​All media will be converted to digital .MP4 format by default. Other formats such as .MOV, .AVI, .WMW can be provided upon request.
-
MP4 Format is one of the best digital formats for storing audio & video by today's digital standards.
-
-
​The names (if any) that is written on your old media will be used for the naming of the digital video file(s).
-
If no title is shown on the old media, your new digital video file(s) will have a relatable name based on the video footage.
-
-
​You have the option to convert your old videos to digital video file(s) with no editing, however we would recommend the Digital Editing option (see Step 2 below).
STEP 2 - Digital Editing
​
-
Once your old videos have been converted to digital video file(s), the Digital Editing will include:
-
Remove unviewable footage (static, noise)
-
Remove delayed starts and blank ends
-
Set aspect ratio for wide screen TV
-
Trim the borders for sharp edging
-
Rearrange footage to align with timelines
-
Rename videos with related year and titles
-
-
Once your digital video file(s) have been edited, they will be uploaded to a private Google Drive.
-
A link will then be sent to you by text and email to view your digital video file(s) online.
-
When you click on the link, you will be able to view your digital video file(s) on your Mobile phone, PC, Laptop or Tablet.
-
Note: At this stage, you will NOT be allowed to download any files.
-
After viewing you will have the choice to make further Digital Enhancements.
STEP 3 - Digital Enhancements
​​
-
This step is a 'nice to have' list of features that can include Effects and/or AI Enhancements.
-
Effects includes: Video Intro, Title(s), Sounds, Backgrounds, Icons, Images, Transitions and/or Music.
-
AI (Artificial Intelligence) Enhancements includes: Denoise, Upscale Quality + Face Enhancement​​
-
-
If the AI Enhancement feature is requested a FREE 3-minute video showing the comparison of the Original vs AI Enhancement side-by-side will be provided, so that you can decide before choosing this option.
-
For digital video file(s) converted to AI, you will also receive the original digital video file copy.
STEP 4 - Storage Media Devices​
​​
-
Your converted digital video file(s) will need to be stored somewhere that is easily accessible and viewable.
-
Your digital video file(s) can be stored on:
-
USB (recommended for a small amount of video files and as a backup device)
-
External Hard Drive (recommended for longevity and reliability)
-
3rd party online storage (i.e. Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, iCloud etc..)
-
-
The best way to view any digital video file(s) is to store onto a USB or External Hard Drive. Both these devices can be plugged into any smart TV, and by using your TV remote control you can easily navigate to select and watch all your cherished family home videos on your TV.
-
No need for any other playback equipment such as projectors, VCRs, DVD players etc...
-
For security and safeguard we highly recommend a minimum of 2 storage devices to store your digital video file(s). A backup copy to be kept at a different location. Moreover, an added backup can be uploaded to a cloud storage service for increased security.
STEP 5 - Bulk Discounts (%)
​
Discounts will automatically be applied for any bulk media conversions, ranging from 5 to 20% depending on the number of media devices (Video Tapes, Film Reels etc..) you want converted.
What is AI? How is it used for Video Enhancements?
​
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human learning, comprehension, problem-solving, decision-making, creativity, and autonomy.
​
AI enhancements can perform face recognition on old blurry videos, upscale the video resolution, remove noise, and make colour adjustments.
Why convert Old Videos to Digital Video?
​​​
Converting old videos to digital format is essential for preserving your cherished memories. Film reels and video tapes are not only outdated and unsupported, but they also take up valuable space and are at risk of getting lost or damaged. As time passes, the quality of these analog recordings degrades, with video tapes lasting between 10 and 25 years and film reels up to 40 years. Plus, the playback equipment is becoming increasingly unreliable, making it harder to access your favourite moments.

What media do we convert?
We don't normally need to convert files from SD cards. Our focus is on joining multiple smaller digital files into one file, ready for editing if required.
