Video and Audio Digitization Pricing
We offer the same flat pricing for all media types, and offer volume discounts for large orders, so the more you digitize the more you save. All prices are before tax.
Tapes
Pricing is based on total tapes/discs, and includes up to 2 hours of footage per tape. Tapes longer than 2 hours are billed at $8 per additional 2 hour segment. Pricing below applies to all consumer formats such as VHS, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, Betamax, and all regions such as PAL and SECAM.
Pricing for professional grade tape formats (HDV, DVCam, DVCAm Pro, BetaCam, BetaCam SP, BetaCam Digital, and D5) is 2x the rates below.
8mm and Super 8 Film
