DOWNLOAD LINK or USB DRIVE? By default, all items are turned into digital files (film and tapes to video, cassettes and reels to audio, slides and photos to images). When placing items in your cart please indicate if you would like a physical USB drive or if you only need a download link.
CDs or DVDs FOR BACKUP? We can also create DVDs of all of your video footage and images, or CDs of your audio files.
PRODUCTION TIME: Here is where the item counting helps! You can control how fast we complete your project by choosing your turn around time. In order to do that, tell us how many many total videotapes or feet of film footage are in your total order. Example: if you have 5 VHS tapes and 5 miniDV tapes you would let us know that you have 10 or less total tapes. We can process 10 tapes in a day but not 100 tapes! Call us with any questions.
