About Our Service
We can transfer your old VHS video tapes, MiniDV camcorder tapes, DAT digital audio tapes and those beloved cassette recordings to modern digital files. This will preserve the remaining quality and allow you to edit and share these recordings.
High temperatures, high humidity, and the presence of dust and various corrosive elements in the air will all affect the physical components that make up magnetic tape and can result in loss of readable data through decreased magnetic capability. Over time most magnetic tapes will become unplayable due to deterioration caused by oxidation, otherwise known as sticky-shed syndrome.
