Videotape formats I can convert: VHS, VHS-C, Super VHS, SVHS-C, Video8, Hi8, Digital8 and MiniDV (NTSC only)
Basic Videotape Digital Conversion
For $10 each tape, up to 2 hours, your tape will be converted to a digital .MP4 video file. The video files will be numbered and the video tapes will be labeled with the corresponding number. I will try to include the original labeling on the tape. The video files can be copied to an external drive at no extra charge. External drives can be hard drives, thumb drives or sd cards and I can provide cheap thumb drives. For an extra charge your video files can be uploaded to you over the internet, uploaded to Youtube and/or converted to a playable DVD. The DVD video disc conversion is a second process, costs $5-10 per DVD and can include multiple videos on each DVD, see the DVD conversion page for more detailed information.

Basic DVD Conversion
DVD conversion is basically $15 per disc (digital conversion included), but the cost can lower drastically depending on the length of the videos and how many you need converted.
But first, I only recommend DVD conversion if you prefer DVD's and don't use computers or you want to give them as gifts. My process for converting DVD's is to first convert your videotape into an MP4 video file, that costs $10, and then I convert that file into a DVD, which costs at least another $5. So, I suggest getting the MP4 conversions first. That way you can decide if you even want DVD's and then you can also pick only the videos that you really want converted to DVD, in the order you want, instead of all of them, in whatever order I converted them, before ever seeing them.
DVD Fees
+DVD video disc conversion is $5 per disc, regardless of how many videos are on it (up to about 3 hours of video) or a dual layer disc for $10 (up to about 6 hours of video and it is not 100 year rated)
+See the Videotape Conversion page for MP4 pricing
+I use Maxell Gold DVD's rated for 100 years, but I also offer lifetime archival DVD's that are an extra $10 (up to 3 hours of video)

Don't pay outrageous prices for converting your home videos to digital. I was going to have my sister's home video collection transferred to DVD for Christmas and I was shocked to see that it cost $25 just to convert one VHS tape to DVD. Even after searching for cheaper prices, Costco still wanted $18 for up to two tapes on 1 DVD. I work on computers as a hobby and knew that I already had everything needed to do all of the video conversion myself. I transferred all of her home movies, over 50 tapes, to computer .MP4 files and realized that she didn't even need the actual DVD's. We just transferred everything to her home computer and she can watch them anytime without having to keep track of a DVD collection. That encoding service alone cost $35 an hour which could have cost me up to $2000 at my local video transfer store and is faster to do than converting a video to a DVD. If you are considering converting your home video collection to digital then please contact me first, or even better, call me after you get a quote from your local retail video transfer store. I have converted hundred's of videos for family, friends and on Facebook and Craigslist with no complaints.
