Words of Wisdom Before You Order

We’ve seen thousands of tapes and old home movies in our 8mm film-to-DVD service for digital conversion

VHS tapes tend to deteriorate the quickest, so make this the priority. Footage of weddings, graduations, and childbirths is also generally very high-priority. 

It’s much more cost-effective to send in one large order than in pieces over a few months.

Memory Fortress backs up everything we digitize (including all tapes) for 90 days, so if your digital copies should be damaged after we transfer your 8mm films to DVD and send them back to you, we have a full backup here. 

There is no charge for blank tapes; you can mix and match all formats listed on this page.
