Video Transfer and Logging Services (new)

Quality Control and Expertise
Because your footage is precious and you can’t afford to lose it.

Videotapes were not meant to last. If your tapes are more than ten years old, it’s likely that they suffer from sticky shed and other forms of deterioration. Our staff watches every moment of every tape to make sure it transfers successfully in the best quality possible.

Our preservation methodologies correspond to the highest national standards. We have been recognized with grants from the National Archives and Records Administration, the National Endowment for the Humanities, National Endowment for the Arts, and others.

The Process
You get a larger master for archiving and preservation as well as a compressed file for online viewing or sharing.

We can also upload the files to your ftp site, Dropbox, YouTube, or other site.

Note: Tapes that are unplayable due to extensive sticky shed or other damage will require additional work.

We’ll contact you before proceeding. We do not treat mold.
