Professional Film Conversions

Did you know the last VCR player was manufactured in 2016?

Over time, VHS and camcorder tapes degrade in quality and can eventually become unplayable. Converting your old tapes or film to digital ensures they’ll be safe for years to come.

I offer tape conversions to USB, DVD, or digital download, so you can keep your memories in a format that’s easy to share and access. Bulk order discounts are available, and I also offer the option to archive your footage on a large hard drive for convenience.

Watch me on BBC one’s ‘oul treasures’

In this programme I travel to Carnalbanagh, a townland in County Antrim, to restore a valuable record of community life found in old biscuit tin.

Tape Repair Services

I also offer tape cleaning and repair. If your tape has become stuck in the VCR, or is showing signs of mould (such as white spots), don’t put it back into the player! I can clean, restore and digitise it to ensure your memories are not lost.

Negative Scanning

One of my favourite tasks is scanning my grandfather’s negatives from the 1950s and seeing those moments come to life on screen. I use professional equipment to scan a variety of formats, including medium format, 35mm, slides, and both colour as well as black and white negatives. I can convert these to digital files or print them, depending on your needs.
