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. Prices below are the base digitization rates and do not include delivery options or tax.
For a quick estimate of total order cost, simply multiply the number of tapes by the pricing tier by 1.2. (Example: 12 tapes x $12/tape x 1.2 = ~$170 total project cost)
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 applies to all formats such as Beta and U-Matic, and all regions such as PAL and SECAM.
8mm and Super 8 Film
Film digitization pricing is based on 50ft of film (3 inch reels), which is roughly 3 mins of video. Larger reels count as multiple tapes. Example: a 5 inch reel can hold 200 feet of film, and will count as four tapes.
