Get your videos transferred before it’s too late…

Video tape has a short lifespan. The fine tape and small moving parts are easily damaged by heat, cold, moisture or dust. It can lose its image or sound, and you can even damage it if you play it in your old VCR. You may already have noticed some deterioration from its original condition – the image may appear to jump around, blur or skip.

It doesn’t have to be like this. You can preserve your valuable, personal footage by arranging professional VCR to DVD or digital file conversion with us. We may even be able to subtly but powerfully improve the quality of the footage whilst copying videos to DVD and digital files, using our professional equipment and software. Transferring your old video tapes to DVD or digital files may be much more affordable than you think and a great investment in preserving anything from family history to corporate events.

We use professional equipment.

A video to DVD or video to digital file transfer requires the right professional-standard equipment, and close attention to detail for quality and integrity. When we convert tapes to DVD or digital files at Audio Visual Solutions, we treat your videos as if they were our own recordings. To ensure the highest digital image quality our video transfer to DVD or digital file process includes film re-tensioning and image stabilisation.

The finished product will contain chapter points which will make it possible to quickly jump to different scenes within your video. We also provide you with a hard library case, complete with personalised label and custom designed sleeve.

It’s not too late…

Whilst some people believe that their films are too old or too brittle to be transferred to digital, this is simply not true. Most often family films are stored in a box under the bed or in a wardrobe. This controlled environment preserves the footage, and slows their deterioration.

In the modern era, very few people have the equipment necessary to actually view footage stored on a film reel. Your precious memories are likely to stay packed away – essentially inaccessible. Over time, these reels deteriorate – making it difficult to view them even when the right equipment is available.

You can keep your films alive for even longer, and enjoy them much more easily, when you order a professional film conversion to digital files. Our unique value for money service is the ideal preservation method for historical footage, event recordings, and family films, to ensure future generations get an insight into the way things used to be.

We treat your films like our own.

All footage presented to us for transfer are cleaned then digitised using an image stabiliser and colour correction system. We create your digital files using professional computer software which creates separate files for each reel.

Photos, slides and negatives can be scanned at high resolution into digital files. These files can be re-printed and even enlarged to be enjoyed again.

Your audio cassettes and reel to reel audio tape can be converted to CD or digital files.
