From Blurry Playback to Easy Digital Viewing
A Simple Before & After Style Preview
Old tapes often look noisy, soft or unstable when played back. Digitising helps preserve what is still on the tape and makes it easier to watch, copy and share on modern devices.
Please note: conversion preserves and presents the original footage more conveniently, but it cannot magically create detail that is not present on the original recording.

Frequently Asked Questions
Better Answers to Common Tape Conversion Questions
These answers were written to cover the questions most people usually ask before digitising old tapes and film reels.
What tape and film formats do you accept?
We currently list VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, Video8, Hi8, Regular 8, Super 8, 16mm and 35mm film enquiries. If you are unsure what you have, send a photo by email or WhatsApp before your appointment.
Can I bring my own USB stick?
Yes. You are welcome to bring your own USB. If you need us to supply one, USB charges start from $20 depending on the storage size needed and the number of tapes in your order. Conversion pricing is $35 per tape for 1–5 tapes, $30 per tape for 6–10 tapes, and $25 per tape for 11 or more tapes.
Can you improve the quality of my old videos?
Digitising helps preserve and present your footage in a more convenient format, but it cannot create detail that was never recorded. The final result still depends on the original tape quality and condition.
How long does the conversion take?
Turnaround depends on how many tapes you have, the recording lengths, the condition of the tapes and current workload. We can give you a better idea once we know what your order includes.
What if a tape is blank, damaged or unplayable?
We do our best with older media, but some tapes may be blank, mouldy, brittle or too damaged to recover. There is no charge for completely blank or unplayable tapes where no usable transfer can be produced.
How do I place a new order?
The easiest way is to complete the Google order form before drop-off. After that, we can confirm your appointment time in West Lakes.
Do you offer drop-off only, or can I post my tapes?
West Lakes drop-off by appointment is the main option. If you are not nearby and want to discuss postage or return options, please send an enquiry first.
Are my personal family recordings kept private?
Yes. Personal and family recordings are handled discreetly and with care. We also have terms and privacy information linked in the footer for more detail.
Do Not Let Old Tapes Sit Unwatched Until They Stop Working
Start your order, ask a question, or send a WhatsApp message and preserve those memories while they can still be transferred.
