VHS to Digital · Film · Tape · Audio
Every reel and tape
has one
irreplaceable copy.
Vintage Transfer converts VHS to digital, along with 8mm/cine film, video tape and audio — handled on the same archive-grade equipment used by broadcasters, then delivered in formats built to outlast the originals.
What We Do
Three ways we bring old media back.
Every job starts with an inspection of the original — then goes to the transfer bay that matches its format, so nothing is force-fit through the wrong process.
Film Scanning & Restoration
Frame-by-frame scanning of home-movie and professional film stock, with colour grading and clean-up available for reels showing their age.
VHS & Video Tape Digitisation
Precise, frame-locked capture from every consumer and broadcast video tape format — from VHS and MiniDV to Betacam, HDCAM and HDV — with cleaning or baking first for tapes that have started to shed or stick.
Audio Digitisation & Restoration
Open-reel, cassette, DAT and disc transfers captured at high resolution, with noise reduction for recordings that have picked up hiss, hum or wear.
How It Works
From your shelf to a file you can trust.
Send or drop off
Post your originals in or bring them by — every item is logged on arrival.
Inspect & quote
We check condition and format, then confirm price and turnaround before anything is touched.
Transfer & restore
Your media runs through the equipment built for its exact format, with restoration where it's needed.
Review & deliver
Files are checked against the originals, then delivered on drive, download or disc — your choice.
About Vintage Transfer
Built for the reel that only exists once.
Vintage Transfer was set up to do one thing well: move what's trapped on old film, tape and audio onto something you can actually open, play and keep. That means archive-grade scanners and tape machines rather than consumer converters, and a process that treats a shrunken family reel with the same care as a broadcast master.
We work with families rescuing decades of home movies, and with production companies, archives and broadcasters clearing out legacy tape libraries — the equipment and the standard of care are the same for both.
- 01Originals are never the only copy in the building while we work — everything is logged in and tracked until it's handed back.
- 02You get a quote after inspection, not a guess before it — no surprise costs once a job is underway.
- 03Delicate or damaged media is cleaned, or baked where appropriate, before it ever touches a transport.
- 04Formats are matched to what you'll actually use — from an editable master to a simple file for the family group chat.
