Video Tape to Digital Conversion Services - New Canaan CT
You’re likely here because you've got decades of precious memories recorded on VHS tapes, MiniDV cassettes, and 8mm recordings, but no way to actually watch them. VCRs disappeared years ago, and finding a working camcorder? Where would you start?
Maybe it's your wedding video, footage from kids' performances, family vacations in the 90’s, holiday celebrations - all sitting there unwatchable because the technology to play them is obsolete. And while they sit there, Connecticut's weather isn't doing them any favors. Temperature swings and humidity cause magnetic tape to fade and deteriorate steadily.
When you choose Remember Whenever for expert video tape to digital services, everything changes. Those tapes you couldn't watch become instantly accessible videos on your phone, computer, and TV. Share them with family through text, create compilations for special occasions, or just finally enjoy reliving those moments you've been missing.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

You pick whichever format works best for you and we’ll do the rest.

A free 30-day, unlimited download and sharing link (up to 100GB in size).
All of our orders for digital files come with a free download and sharing link so you can share your memories with as many family members and friends as you like.
Need longer than 30 days? We can store your files indefinitely for just $5 a month.

Got dates on them? We’ll do our best to sort everything in chronological order. No extra charge, no extra hassle.
-
Video tape audio (especially on VHS and VHS-C) can often be much quieter than expected, making it difficult to hear what’s going on.
We carefully amplify the signal to improve clarity and bring the sound back to a more natural level, without distorting it.
-
Our video files are provided as high quality .MP4 files as standard (the most compatible format), so you can take them anywhere and load them on any device.
PROFESSIONAL ADD-ON SERVICES
-
$10 per tape
Video tapes often come with unwanted hissing and humming that can be a real distraction.
Our service reduces as much of that noise as possible while keeping everything else intact, so you can focus on the moments that matter, not the background buzz.
-
$10 per tape
Older TVs didn’t show the entire video frame, leaving black borders around the footage. Now, with larger, high-resolution screens, those borders are visible and can look messy.
If you want a cleaner, more polished video, this service is for you.
-
$10 per tape
Over time, video tapes naturally degrade, causing the picture to fade. An unfortunate process known as “Tape Decay.”
We use specialized techniques to restore some of that lost clarity and bring your memories back to life.
-
$10 per disc
Had your media transferred to DVD elsewhere? Chances are, your footage wasn’t trimmed, meaning you’ve got a lot of blank space at the end (and maybe at the start, too).
With this add-on service, we’ll clean that up for you, removing the empty sections so you’re left with only the moments that matter.
-
$10 per splice
If your tape or reel has snapped and just needs splicing back together, the doctor is in!
-
$30 per tape
For more major repairs like rehousing or re-spooling your tape, this is our most comprehensive repair service.
-
If the audio on your tape needs more TLC than just equalization, our experts are here to work their magic.
With decades of experience, we’ll bring clarity, warmth, and life back to your tapes making them sound their absolute best.
See our Audio Restoration page for pricing
-
All our orders come with a free download and sharing link, but if you’d like to add a USB drive to your order, we can get the right size for the media you have.
Our prices start at $12 and we can let you know how large a drive you’ll need.
