 DESTINATION MEDIA

We can give you your converted video in one of two ways:
 
 1) Transfer To DVD – no additional charge – see prices above
 The ideal way to enjoy your family memories and our most popular and
 affordable service. In with the price above, for each tape transfer we will
 supply an ‘A’ grade DVD and print a title in black onto the disc surface.
 (Add an extra £1.00 plus vat to the cost per disc for a colour printed DVD). 

 If more than one DVD is required per tape, or you would like further copies
 the cost will be @ £3.50 per DVD including print with black label
 or £4.50 each for full colour print.

If you would also like your video supplied on a USB, the cost is £2 per USB (plus the cost of the actual USB)

 Please mark each tape with the label you would like us to use and number
 of copies required.

Please ask about DVD packages


        
OR
 2) Transfer To Digital Files – no additional charge – see prices above

 Output to MP4 (Digital files)
 Perfect for sharing, streaming or editing your memories.  Normally we
 transfer the video files onto a USB or Memory Stick, alternatively we can
 send the files using a file sharer such as WeTransfer, we will need your
 email address for this purpose.

We are happy for you to supply your own USB stick for this purpose,
for 1 x VHS tape 4GB should be enough but for hours of video e.g. 3 x VHS or 4 x camera cartridges- we would normally suggest 8GB or 16GB.

per DVD including print with black label or £4.50 each for full colour print (e.g. a photo of a wedding or special event on the body of the disc).

IMPORTANT NOTES – TERMS & CONDITIONS

TechnoVisual carry out all transfer services above in-house, we can deal with most types of video tape but there are one or two tape types, which we can not deal with because we don’t have the correct facilities just yet. We will always let you know first if this is the case.

All the above options are magnetic media, which could have been around for a very long time.  Unfortunately this media is liable to degrade if it isn’t stored well, particularly if it comes in contact with moisture or has been stored near hi-fi speakers.  If the media has been damaged in some way this may not always be apparent, (please remember that we have no idea of exactly how it should look or sound). We will try to identify any issues and let you know, but this may not always be possible.

If it is possible to take copies from your media we will, but we cannot be held responsible if any damage has occurred over the years and the video does not play quite as expected, e.g. colour changes or glitches in sound or video. If there is obvious damage to a tape, we will try to repair or clean where possible, if we can’t get a tape to play, we would let you know and would not charge for this.

Even if there is only a small amount of video on your tape, we will still need to charge the prices shown above per tape, this is because it actually takes us extra time to locate small lengths of video and then to edit the file to remove the blank areas. We do charge for any significant editing, e.g. if you wanted us to only transfer certain portions of various tapes then you need to let us know where these are and we would need to charge based on the time this editing takes at a rate of £40 per hour.

DISCOUNTS FOR QUANTITIES: Should you bring in many VHS or Camera tapes all in one go, we will offer a discount. Generally here are the discounts offered for larger quantities:

  • 10+ minus 50p each
  • 15+ minus £1.00 each
  • 20+ minus £1.50 each
  • 25+ minus £2.00 each
  • 30 minus £2.50 each (30 is maximum we can receive in one lot)

If damage is obvious or the tape is blank, we will return the tape and make no charge.  If part of the tape is obviously damaged, we may call and discuss this with you first before going ahead with the transfer. If there is any physical damage to the tape or cartridge, it may be possible for us to fix this but we will always discuss this with you first. If you agree to TechnoVisual undertaking any restoration work we will do what we can to get it working again at least for the purposes of taking a duplicate, but we can not then be held responsible if the tape continues to cause problems or does not work as it should.

PLEASE ALWAYS LEAVE A CONTACT NUMBER AND /OR EMAIL AND WE WILL ALWAYS CONTACT YOU IF WE DO IDENTIFY ANY ISSUES FIRST BEFORE TRANSFERRING YOUR VIDEO.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Jenny – June 2020

I just wanted to thank you both so much for all your assistance with our family DVDs.  I can see them all neatly labelled on both computer or TV screen now and have had a brief viewing of some of them.  This is exactly what I wanted to do! I am most grateful to you both for your swift responses and your expertise in getting me such a happy outcome! The rest of the family are now looking forward to a trip down Memory Lane!
With best wishes, Jenny

Anthony – June 2020

Huge thanks. You have done it brilliantly.
I have transferred the payment, you were very kind to do it for that price, given that it proved more complex than you had expected and you were able to complete it today. Am v happy!
Have a good weekend.
Best wishes, Anthony

Mr Jones – December 2020

My Father in Law cried when he saw the film of his wedding , it hasn’t been played for 50 years and the quality was excellent!

Alison – December 2020

Parcel and files gratefully received. I anticipate making my 90 year old Mum cry this Christmas. 
I hope you all have a lovely Christmas in whatever format it may be in

Many thanks Alison

Hi Chris, have now watched the VHS/DVD ‘conversion’ and it’s great, bought back memories from our visit to Medjugorje in the 80’s. Want to thank you for an excellent service from initial enquiry to finished job, I will recommend you to everyone one ! Malcolm McPartlan
