Some of it still needs to be serviced, cleaned and tested before it’s ready to go – but we can’t wait to put it to work 🥳 Did you know that we can transfer up to 8 tapes at once? 😲 This means we can complete larger orders quickly and still deliver the high-quality results you expect.

- Small collection of VHS tapes transferred to USB for a customer in Greenock 📼

- We use high-performance systems for video editing, but when it comes to transferring footage, occasionally we need something a bit older 💻 Here, we’re capturing video from a Sony Handycam MiniDV camcorder via FireWire, using a trusty old steam-driven Compaq laptop from 2007 😲 It’s running Windows 7… safely offline, of course! 🙌 The video files will be transferred from here via USB, then edited on one of the main systems 🤩
