Convert VHS & Camcorder Tapes – New Haven Video Transfer Service

Many New Haven families and Yale community members face a common challenge with old video tapes - you've got recordings you'd love to watch, but the technology moved on years ago. VCRs vanished from most homes, camcorders became obsolete, and those tapes have been sitting untouched ever since.

You've likely got recordings from events around New Haven, Yale gatherings, family milestones, kids growing up, shows from old bands at venues around town - all on VHS, MiniDV, 8mm, or VHS-C formats. Without working playback equipment, they're time capsules with no way to open them.

Magnetic tape wasn't designed to last indefinitely. Audio gets worse, colors fade, physical tape weakens. Each passing year means lower quality when you finally do convert them.

Remember Whenever's video tape transfer service gives you back access to those memories. We digitize VHS & VHS-C tapes, perform 8mm tape transfer, handle MiniDV conversion - turning obsolete formats into digital files you can watch on phones, computers, tablets. Share them easily, back them up safely, enjoy them whenever and wherever you want.

We offer free pickup and delivery throughout New Haven. From East Rock to Edgewood, downtown near Yale to the Shore, Westville to Fair Haven - we come to you, handle the digitizing at our lab, and return everything when ready.

Need the best video tape transfer service near New Haven? Reach out today and we'll help preserve what matters most!

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

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

    If you need both files and discs, just add $15 per item.

  • 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.

  • If your tapes have labels, we’ll transfer those titles onto your files and discs, making it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.

    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 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.

Impeccable service and excellent prices!”
