Consumer Video Tape Types1

Fact: Over the last two years, 85% of our video customers have chosen the DVD + MP4 option for their digitized 8mm videos.  

This gives them physical DVDs that work on all players, as well as the MP4 computer files that can be replicated, emailed, put on Facebook. 

The cost is only $4 more per tape, and Memory Fortress offers a lifetime emergency backup of your data for this price!

James H. – “I was very satisfied with Memory Fortress. They were extremely knowledgeable in restoring my photos. I had old still photos and also some on old format tapes and disks. They put everything on DVDs and my memory stick so I can play them on all my electronic devices.

They were fast and got the job done perfectly and at a fair price. I highly recommend them and I will be using their services again!

Thank you Memory Fortress!”

Words of Wisdom Before You Order

We’ve seen thousands of tapes and old home movies come in for digital conversion

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

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

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

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