Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions answered simply.

Yes, absolutely. We treat your memories as if they were our own. Once we have converted them to digital, we package your original tapes securely and return them to you along with your new USB or digital files.

Yes. We receive mail-in orders from all over Australia daily. We strongly recommend using Australia Post Express which includes a Tracking Number so you can see exactly where your package is. We will email you the moment it arrives safely at our lab.

Yes. We create standard video files (MP4) that play on almost everything.

Smart TV: Simply plug the USB drive into the USB slot on the back of your TV.
Computer/Phone: Click the link we email you to watch instantly or download to your device.

Yes, in most cases we can. Light surface mould and minor tape repairs are included in the standard $34 transfer fee.

For tapes with heavier mould contamination or more serious damage, we offer two levels of professional cleaning treatment ($30 or $50 per tape depending on severity). This involves baking, machine cleaning and manual servicing to give the tape the best possible chance of a usable transfer.

We'll always inspect your tapes first and quote you before any additional work is carried out. While cleaning dramatically improves the chance of recovery, we can't guarantee a perfect result on severely degraded tapes.

We don't charge for blank tapes. If we find a blank tape, we simply return it to you free of charge.

Yes. Audio cassettes are $34 per tape, the same as video tapes, and we convert them to digital audio files. Your original cassettes are returned to you.

No. Bring your tapes to our Alexandria (338-356 Mitchell Road) or Wollongong (Suite 30/157 Crown Street) store any time we are open: Monday to Friday 10am to 6pm, Saturday 10am to 2pm.

100%. Our conversion process is secure and automated. We do not watch your home movies for entertainment. We only check the beginning and end to ensure the video quality is clear and audio is working.
