Camcorder Tapes to Digital (Hi8, MiniDV & More)
Those little camcorder tapes captured a whole era – school plays, holidays, first steps and teenage band practices. We convert your Hi8, Video8, MiniDV and other camcorder tapes to digital, so you can watch them again on today’s devices.
Drop them off at our Kingswinford (DY6) studio or send them via tracked post from anywhere in the UK – we’ll carefully transfer each tape and bring those tiny screens back to life.
