What types of tapes are we able to transfer?
At Emerald Video Transfers, we are able to transfer just about any tape. The different formats that we accept are VHS, VHS-C, Hi-8, Digital 8, Video 8, Mini DV, and Mini DVD. We’re also able to digitize PAL VHS and PAL VHS-C tapes. If you have a tape that you’re not sure about, give us a call and ask – chances are we’ll be able to digitize it for you!
What will the final product be?
That depends on what you’re looking for! We’re able to transfer media onto DVDs, or into digital files which are then transferred onto a hard-drive, flashdrive, or data DVD. Usually customers who are wanting to edit their media, upload to YouTube, or store it on their computer decide to get digital files. Others who prefer to just watch the tapes on their TV with a DVD player choose to get their tapes transferred to playable DVDs. Our DVDs are professional quality discs and will hold up to two hours of footage.
**If you decide to have your tapes transferred onto a hard-drive, you will need to provide us with an empty hard-drive. Or, if you would rather purchase a drive from us, we have them available. Flashdrives are $10-30 each and hard-drives are available for $75 each.
Do you edit the videos?
Usually, no. The tapes are generally transferred as-is, meaning no edits are done to the footage. It is recorded straight from the tape and transferred onto a hard drive or DVD.
What is the turnaround time for the tape transfer?
The turnaround time for every order is different and always depends on the number of tapes being digitized. Since our media is all transferred in-home and not shipped out, we can offer faster turnaround times than other larger companies.
How much does this cost?
Check out the charts above for specific info on our video tape transfer pricing. We pride ourselves on being affordable and professional. Feel free to ask about bulk pricing if you have a large order (50+ tapes).
How do I get my tapes to you?
Feel free to give us a call or email anytime to get more info. We’re a home-based business so drop-off’s and pickups are by appointment. That said, we have a flexible schedule and are usually available Mon-Fri throughout the day or even some weekends. Many also choose to ship their media to us. We offer at-cost return shipping through USPS. If you’d rather have us pick them up, we also offer a pickup service within 20 miles of Seattle depending on your location and the size of your order. If you have questions on getting here or making an appointment, feel free to give us a call or send an email.
