VIDEOTAPES ARE DETERIORATING RAPIDLY AND MACHINES TO PLAY THEM BACK
ARE GETTING HARDER TO FIND
Videotapes lose their magnetic signal over time and the tape grows brittle
Visual Image has over a decade of experience transferring videotape formats
We have transferred thousands of hours of videotape to digital file and DVD
Hollywood history, family archives, television programs, camera masters,
stock footage, home movies, rare footage,
all handled personally, securely and privately here at Visual Image
Copy those old videotapes before it's too late
We specialize in transfers from 1", D2, DigiBeta, BetaSP, DVCAM, DV, 3/4, Hi-8, VHS, VHS-C
All transfers are fed through time base correctors and processing amplifiers in our fully equipped machine room to clean up the image, adjust the video and audio levels and capture as much of the original image as possible
Restoration of unplayable "sticky"videotape and repair of broken tape available
Analog tapes are converted to a digital signal before capturing to file
