See your history again on your TV.
Most of us have stacks of old home movies that we haven’t watched in years. Why? Usually people will tell you it takes too long to hook up the old video camera, find the right tape, rewind the tape back to the beginning, then somewhere in the movie fast forward through the 10 minutes of video where dad forgot to turn off the camera while walking along the sidewalk.
Bring us your home movies and we will convert your Video8, Hi8, Digital8, Mini DV or VHS, VHS-C, Beta cassettes onto DVD and/or Digital File. We will include chapter breaks every few minutes.
We also transfer all videos off Video Camcorders with internal (built-in) hard drives, the typical recording method of camcorders manufactured between 2006-2008. **We can also restore lost or deleted videos off these camcorders.**
Our Advantage
Why choose us over the other places that will digitize your home movies?
Putting your movies onto DVD is one thing, but it is still very difficult to navigate so we add chapter breaks at regular intervals. We also include a professional DVD menu.
How We Do It When Transferring VHS Tapes (And All Others!)
When we receive your order, it is carefully catalogued in our system.
We then playback your tape using our high quality playback equipment and capture it to our editing station.
Once your movie is in the computer, we view portions of the video to ensure quality, trim the ends of the tape and add chapter breaks at the specified locations. We then create your customized DVD menu and burn it to DVD.
We Offer Video Tape Repair!
It was always the way- there came the day where the VCR or the camcorder had the audacity to eat the tape while either recording or playback of the content. To make matters worse, it was not only the only copy available- it was forever confined to being stuck inside a dead camcorder or VCR- or the tape ended up being ripped somewhere in the middle or the beginning. Recapture Your Memories DOES offer video cassette tape repair on all video tapes. (In the event the tape is too fragile, we will make a referral- otherwise- you can be assured your videos will be copied from that broken tape. Both VHS Tapes, VHS-C Tapes and HI8/Video8/Digital8 tapes were fairly robust in their construction. Having fixed a number of both video and audio tapes in the past, bring them along and we’ll be pleased to work on them! Our VHS to digital service truly goes above and beyond!
Hardware UP-SCALING From Standard Definition to HD 1080p
NOW OFFERING Hardware UP-SCALING from Standard Definition to HD 1080p of Beta Cassettes, MiniDV cassette, Hi8/Digital8/Video8 and VHS tape to HD 1080p.
Cost: $22.50/hr of video.
Due to the higher resolution and post-processing, this CAN take longer on orders depending on the length of the tape/number of tapes in the order. The better the condition of the video tape, the better the picture.
NOTE: The end result may not always be the pristine pin-point sharp picture as if it was right off of a blu-ray disc as many factors come into play- particularly the age of the video tape/etc. Yet this DOES give a notably better re-production of the tape- particularly when watching on larger TV screens. The resolution from most Video Cassettes as we know them was anywhere from 320 X 240 (early video cassettes, 4 x 3), 640 X 480 (later video cassettes (4 x 3) or 720 x 480 (16 x 9) when widescreen was introduced.
The Hardware upscaler is in between the tape’s player and the computer while on record, giving either the resolution of 1440 X 1080 (upscaled from 320 x 240 or 640 X 480) or 1920 X 1080 (upscaled from 720 x 480.)
