Austin’s Local Solution For Digitizing Tapes
The Problem with Getting Old Tapes Converted
Most VHS, MiniDV, and camcorder tapes are over 20 years old. Every year, the image fades, colors shift, and the tape itself becomes more fragile.
Here’s what usually happens when people try to digitize them:
-
They buy a cheap converter online — the footage ends up grainy, jumpy, and washed out.
-
They send tapes out of state — weeks of waiting, constant worry about shipping loss.
-
They drop them at a big-box store — the store ships them away anyway, with no updates until they’re done.
Your tapes deserve better. We keep everything in Austin, digitize with pro equipment, and get your files back to you in days—without the risk.
