Video Duplication FAQ

How long do VHS tapes last?

VHS tapes typically last 10-25 years under ideal storage conditions. Most tapes are now well beyond that age and showing signs of deterioration. The sooner you convert them, the better quality you'll preserve.

Can you transfer tapes that won't play?

Sometimes. If the tape is physically damaged, we may be able to repair it. If the deterioration is too severe, recovery may not be possible. Bring them in for assessment.

Do I get my original tapes back?

Yes, always. We return all original tapes along with your digital copies. We never dispose of customer media.

What format are the digital files?

We deliver MP4 files, which work on virtually all modern devices. Other formats are available upon request.

Can I get multiple copies?

Yes. We can provide additional USB drives or DVDs for a small additional cost.
