VHS to digital in Melbourne

We're at 605-607 High Street, Kew East, where we've been since January 2020. Your tapes stay in the shop while the work is done.

Tape transfers are charged per tape, with cleaning included. Choose digital files on USB or hard drive, or a DVD disc. You may supply your own USB. Prices are fixed and agreed at the counter before work starts, with no hidden fees.

Every VHS and VHS-C tape is professionally cleaned before transfer.

The National Film and Sound Archive recommends digitising videotapes as soon as possible. Heat and humidity can damage the tapes. Digital copies let you keep a backup separately from the originals.

Mouldy tapes are usually identified at the counter and discussed with you. Minor mould usually has a good outcome. Broken tapes can usually be repaired for a small fee.

For VHS to digital in Melbourne, bring your tapes to our Kew East lab. No appointment is needed. Bring them as they are; we do the labelling. Every job is identified with a unique four digit sticker.

We're open Monday to Thursday 10am to 5pm and Friday 10am to 4pm, closed weekends. Tram route 48 has stop 39 right out the front. There are public car parks near the shop in Valerie Street and Strathalbyn Street. We're opposite the Harp Hotel.

If you live outside the greater Melbourne area, you can order by post.

If you'd rather not convert the tapes yourself, bring them to PhotoQ and we'll do the transfer. Cleaning is included in the per-tape charge.

We transfer 8mm and 16mm cine reels too, and our slide scanning covers 35mm slides and negatives. Other Transfer Services lists more formats. We also convert existing DVDs and CDs to USB, which is now a frequent job.

We also transfer these tapes to DVD disc, hard drive or digital files:

Turnaround depends on how many tapes there are, how busy the lab is and their condition. A rush job never costs extra. We offer fast turnaround for funerals and memorials.
