Somebody filmed it for a reason.

The camcorder came out for the big days. We play every tape on proper decks. MiniDV and Digital8 record the date, so those come back split by filming day.

  1. A folder per tape, labelled so you can find it. MiniDV and Digital8 split by filming day.
  2. Colour and sound checked on every tape by a real person.
  3. Download link and a USB stick in the post, both included.
  4. Blank or won't play? We refund that tape.
  5. Your tapes come back free in the same parcel, or we securely dispose of them. Your choice.

Questions

Does MiniDV keep its original quality?

Yes. MiniDV is already digital, so we copy the original footage across and save it as MP4.
