Tape Transfer

Need to transfer your original video tape(s) onto another or the same video format?

A table has been created so you can work out your total transfer costs. Simply choose your original format and the format you wish to transfer to, add these together to get your hourly transfer fee. You then need to add the cost of the transfer tape on top, customers can supply their own media, by sending or dropping it off with their original transfer tapes.

Only one Original Format per transfer with a minimum transfer charge of 60mins, anytime running over the hour will be charged by the minute. If the total length of transfer is unknown, we can invoice you for the transfer costs afterwards. Payment will have to be sent and cleared before return/collection is authorised. To work out your own costing, please see the “example” below.
