How To Order:

Step 1: Calculating the Hours of Video Footage

The order form will ask for approximate hours of footage. You will only be billed for the actual hours of footage. Please round up each tape to the next hour. For example, count 1 hour 50 minutes as 2 hours. Count 45 minutes as 1 hour.  We bill this way because we will record up to the hour to ensure we captured all the video. Many times a video may appear to stop at 30 minutes. It may be blank for 5-6 minutes and then there is more video. So, we generally run each video to the 1 hour mark to ensure we got it all. If the video goes over 1 hour, we run it to 2 hours, again, to ensure we got it all.

VHS: Normally, these recorded up to 2 hours but you could get 4 or 6 hours on each one if you changed the record mode to Long Play or Extended Play mode.

VHS-C: Normally, these only recorded 30 minutes each. You could get up to 90 minutes in Extended Play mode.

8mm: These tapes came in 60, 90 or 120 minutes versions. Just look on the tape to see which ones you have.

Hi8, MiniDV, Digital8: These tapes only came in the 60 minute version.

Betamax: These tapes could record from 1 hour to 5 hours on each tape.

PAL: We can transfer PAL VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi8 and MiniDV to PAL or NTSC media. For details on PAL vs. NTSC. click here.
