We ask for new customers to fill out our Converting and Picture Work form. Based on the information provided on the form, we will email you an estimate. Then we will have you drop off the material.
If possible, please number your tapes in chronological order. This is for us to be able to keep the files in order on the DVD or flash drive.
When choosing the DVD option, each DVD holds up to four hours of footage. To conserve space, multiple tapes are put on one DVD, unless specified differently on the form. The DVD menu will list each of your tapes separately (using your titles) and each will play separately. Each DVD will have a label with the title of the DVD (usually the customer's last name and the DVD number) and the names of the tapes. Then DVDs are put in DVD sleeves, unless requested otherwise.
When choosing the flash drive option, we will not know the size needed until we convert all of your tapes. If the flash drive is not provided, we will add the exact price of the flash drive to your bill. Files are formatted to work on PC and Mac.

PHOTO SCANNING
Due to advances in technology, we recommend scanning your printed photos yourself with an app called CamScanner (available on iOS and Android devices). This is faster and better quality than a scanner.
If you would still rather we do it for you, please use the CONTACT US form.
EDITING AND FREELANCE
EDITS FOR CONVERSION
Some tapes may have blank or unwanted footage. We can edit out the unwanted material. This is an additional hourly cost.
