DownloadOur customers tell us that the standard conversion offerings from the larger competitors are poor quality and very expensive. Why pay £35 a tape. We know that many of the larger firms use ageing video to DVD copy then DVD to MP4. Using a DVD as a transfer mechanism means that longer video tapes are compressed to fit on the maximum length of a 2 hour DVD. Since most customers have disposed of their DVD players, you have to fork out for a MP4 conversion. With our services, MP4 is standard.
MS Hobbies uses the latest transfer technology to copy the original at the native uncompressed resolution, then upscales to 1080/1440/2048 and uses colour-correction to restore the colours to the original. We take about a week for all orders except cine, which are two weeks.
Large USB sticks are required, at least 32Gb in size. One VHS Video can be 8Gb (4 hours). VHS upscales to 1080, a enhanced HD TV.
We prefer London-based customers to pop in and see us to hand over tapes in person.
Using the magnificent Panasonic NV-W1E VHS converter and capture card technology, we can convert all VHS and VHS-C tapes from all SECAM/PAL/NTSC regions, colour-correct and upscaled to 1080p. From £10 per tape. Longer tapes are transferred uncompressed so expect large 5-6Gb files.
We can convert all hi8/Digital8 hi8 Pro (30 minutes) tapes to upscaled 1080 or 1440 resolution, with colour-correction. PAL and NTSC hi8 also converted. From £10 per tape. Longer tapes are transferred uncompressed so expect large 5-6Gb files.
20 years ago, customers used to have the cine films transferred to VHS. The quality was poor. Today, we can transfer cine to Mp4 using resolution enhancement and colour-correction technology. We use a camera to copy the projection to tape then to disc. We can copy 8mm Super 8, 9.4mm and 16mm
From £10 for a 3.5 inch 8mm reel
Conversion of MiniDV tapes to MP4. PAL or NTSC MiniDV tapes converted and upscaled to 1440/2048p
We prefer customers to drop off their collections in person, it re-assures everyone.
