Your Media Is Still Valuable. If It's Captured Correctly.

You found the tapes. Or the film reels. Or the box of photos that's been sitting in a closet for twenty years.

You know what you want: you want these memories preserved properly. Not compressed into a blurry file that looks worse than the original. Not shipped to some warehouse you'll never see. Not handled by someone who treats your family footage like another item on an assembly line.

You want it done right. Once. By someone who understands that this isn't just "old media" — it's your visual history.

VHS to Digital in Austin — Without the Risk

Here's the reality: two services can both claim "VHS to MP4" while producing completely different results. One gives you a blurry, unstable file with crushed audio. The other extracts every detail your tape actually holds.

At Austin Video Solutions, your tapes are digitized with professional capture equipment — not $20 USB dongles. The signal path is clean. The playback is stable. The files are organized, named properly, and delivered in the format that actually matches what you plan to do with them.

Your media never leaves my South Austin studio. No shipping labels. No outsourcing. No unknown hands.

What You Need, Based on What You'll Actually Do

Most people don't need a complicated menu. They need one question answered: What do you want to do with these videos once they're digitized?

Here's the straightforward breakdown:

Tape Digitizing in Austin — All Major Formats Supported

I digitize VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, Betamax, U-matic, and more. The process is the same: stable playback, clean signal capture, and careful audio levels.

Your tapes aren't just being "copied" — they're being extracted.

Most projects are completed in 1–3 days, depending on volume. If you're working on a deadline — a gift, a memorial, a screening — let me know at drop-off. The workflow adjusts around what matters most to you: speed, maximum quality, or both.

Film Scanning in Austin — Frame-by-Frame 2K Transfer

Your 8mm and Super 8 film reels have detail that cheap transfers simply miss. I scan each frame individually at 2K resolution, cleaning and correcting for color accuracy and stability.

The difference is visible. The files are archival-quality.

Frame-by-Frame 2K Film Transfer — $0.49/foot, delivered on USB, cloud upload, or data Blu-ray.

Photo, Slide & Negative Scanning in Austin

Prints, slides, and negatives are hand-scanned with care — not run through a bulk feeder that scratches surfaces. You choose your output format (JPG, PNG, TIFF) and whether you want color correction, upscaling, or restoration work.

High-Resolution Scanning — starting at $0.49/image. Bulk pricing available.

After AVS: What You Can Actually Do With Your Files

This is the part most transfer services don't think about. I do.

Once your media is digitized properly, you can:

• * Stream your entire family archive on Apple TV, Roku, Plex, or a home NAS
• * Share clean, secure links with family across the country
• * Cut a documentary, anniversary edit, or "best of" highlight reel
• * Create a memorial video that looks professional and sounds clear
• * Preserve an archive that's actually usable for future upgrades and format changes

Your files aren't a dead end. They're a foundation.

Video Editing in Austin — When You Want a Finished Project

Austin Video Solutions isn't just a transfer house. If you want the story shaped, refined, and delivered as complete work:

• * Highlight reels and family edits
• * Memorial videos with tasteful pacing and readable titles
• * Professional editing for creators and small businesses
• * Stabilization, upscaling, and enhancement when it genuinely improves the result

Collaborate in-studio or remotely. The goal is finished work that looks intentional.
