Service
The demise of Betamax in the UK left millions of Beta consumers with precious home video collections and no way to view them after ageing machines passed into disrepair. With the advent of digital technology we can now transfer those old Betamax tapes to DVD-R or DVD+R, Mini-DV tape, Digital 8, Hi-8 or VHS & VHS-C formats. (Sorry - we cannot transfer or convert NTSC or Secam Betamax tapes)

Tape Review Service
We know that after all of this time customers may not remember what is on the their tapes, this is why we offer a 'Review Service'. For a small fee of £10.00 per tape we will review and email to you an itemized list of content. (Note: If you require this particular service, please send your payment along with the tapes).

Example of Review:

Total Playing Time - 38 minutes - Varying degrees of recording quality
Wedding Service (good - 10mins)
Family on Beach/Holiday footage (fair - 15mins)
Children playing in Garden/Family footage (poor - 5mins)
TV soap - Coronation Street (good - 8mins)
Tape Repair Service
Don't throw those broken Betamax tapes away! There is a good chance we can repair and transfer them for you. Just send them along to us and we'll take a look and let you know what can be done. Repairs are from £5.00 per tape.

Timeline Service
Need to edit that Betamax tape? No problem. We can produce a VHS or DVD draft copy of your tape for you to preview and edit in the comfort of your own home. We transfer your Betamax tape to VHS tape or DVD, adding a timeline at the top of the video. We then supply you with an edit sheet & instructions on how to edit your movie. If you need us to edit the tape, editing is priced at 50 pence per edit. Simply fill out the editing sheet and return it to us and we'll produce your final production as instructed. It couldn't be easier!

Home Editing
If you prefer to physically edit your movies yourself on your PC we will be happy to convert / transfer your Betamax tapes to any of the following formats.

Mini-DV, Digital 8, Hi-8, VHS, VHS-C, SVHS, VCD, SVCD, MPEG2, MPEG1
