FAQs

Can you fix mouldy or broken tapes?

Minor issues may be workable; severe damage can risk the tape and our equipment. We’ll assess and discuss options before we start.

Can you put everything on a USB instead of DVD/CD?

Yes - MP4 (video) or WAV/MP3 (audio) on a supplied or new USB.

Do you do editing or colour correction?

Not at the moment. We focus on straightforward, good-quality transfers to keep costs down.

How do I get my tapes to you?

Drop them at our White Cross Business Park workshop or post them with tracking. We’ll log them and confirm outputs before we begin.
