FAQ's
*Which formats do you convert and what counts as 1 item?
VHS Tapes, VHS C, Video 8, Hi 8, Mini DV, Standard 8mm Cine Film (50ft reel), Super 8mm Cine Film (50ft reels), CD ROM, CDRW, CDR, DVD, DVDRW, Audio cassette, Vinyl LP’s, Photographs (x 20) Slides (x20)
How do I know how many feet in my cine reel?
The size of the reel will determine the length of film. A 3 inch reel is 50ft with a running time of about 4 minutes. These are included in the standard £15 an item. A reel which measures 5 inches is 200ft with a running time of approximately 15 minutes. These cost £45 to convert; and the 7 inch reels are 400ft with a running time of 30 minutes. These cost £75 to convert. There are bigger reels, but quite rare - we can do those too!
What happens if my tape or film turns out to be broken?
If you send us a tape or reel or any item that turns out to be non playable or empty, we will refund you for that item.
How long does it take to get my digital files?
Currently, we are working with a turnaround time of a week to 10 days; do let us know if you are in urgent need and we'll see if we can help.
Can you fix a broken tape or film?
It depends what's wrong with it. Some fixes are simple and easy for us and we just do those in house as a matter of course. Some require outside help from our partners. In these cases we will contact you before we undertake this work with a quote.
Can you edit our footage - we want a montage?
