    What You Get 

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

Digitizing your video tapes is only based on the number of items you send in. To learn more, visit the Pricing Page or scroll down.

How long does it take?

It can take anywhere from 2-8 weeks to completely finish your order depending upon what size it is and if its during the busy season. However, we do offer expedited processing options that allow you to have your order completed in as little as 3 days!

Can I send other types of items in along with my Betamax tapes?

Yes! You can mix and match as much as you'd like. We can digitize most types of consumer media, including video tapes, film, photos, and slides. For a full list of what we can digitize, visit What We Digitize.

What if one of my tapes is blank?

We will go through each tape you send us from the beginning to the end to make sure we get everything from it. If a tape is completely blank, you will be notified and receive a credit.

Do you fix any quality issues with the tapes?

Yes we do. If a tape is damaged or broken, we will repair the tape and perform any splices necessary at no additional cost. We also digitally trim any blank areas of the tape so the digitized copy will just be the actual content.

Which output choice should I choose?

This is really up to you and how you would like to have your digitized files. We can put your digitized files on the cloud for digital access and download, put them on a thumb drive, or burn them to playable DVDs.

Will you name the files?

Yes! This is something that only we do. Whenever possible, we will take whatever labels you have on the tapes and apply that name to digitized file. So if you have a tape labeled Christmas 2001, its digitized file will have that same file name.

I'm nervous about sending my memories. What safeguards do you take to keep my memories safe?

Excellent question! We take a number of measures to make sure your memories are safe and secure from the moment they leave your possession until you receive them back from us. This includes using a special priority shipping service, an advanced internal tracking system, and more. So far, we have digitized over 1 million memories and have never lost or damaged a single one. Not one! To learn more about the safeguards we take, read this article.

Can you digitize PAL or SECAM Betmax tapes?

No, we cannot digitize PAL or SECAM Betamax tapes. PAL or SECAM Betamax tapes are quite rare and are generally from Europe and other overseas countries. We can however, digitize PAL or SECAM VHS tapes and Camcorder tapes.

  • Preserve your Memories Forever

    Old media items such as Betmax tapes, film, and photographs can and will degrade in quality over time. Video tapes are especially prone to degradation due to mold and moisture. Digitizing preserves these memories forever before it is too late.

  • TheDigitizeCenter | You will receive all of your original media back, along with the digitized versions you can download from the cloud, receive on a thumb drive, or view on a DVD set. Enjoy your digitized memories forever.

Nice job

very pleased with how an old casette tape was recorded on to a flashdrive. It was done quickly and in the mail on the way but the US Postal service took 2 weeks to finally get it to me.

Fantastic Service at a Fair Price

I checked out many companies before choosing The Digitize Center. Some were a bit cheaper, but their customer service ratings were horrible. The Digitize Center has been amazing at returning phone calls and responding to email questions. I even have my own account manager named Rachel - thanks girl! I'm on a mission to get all my old videos digitized this year, and have been very pleased with the results and service from The Digitize Center.

Retrieved almost everything from very old tapes

Managed to get alot of intact footage back from the dead, saved to a thumbdrive. Quality of transfer was equal to what was originally on the tapes (30-yr old VHS-C with a cheap camera). Well worth the cost. Did appreciate the periodic updates on progress. Highly recommend.

Reliable

They did what I needed them to do. I had couple mini DVD-R disks that Legacybox could not digitize. They returned my completed order quickly. No BS like I got from the other company.

Very Satisfied

The service was excellent. I had 11 microcassettes transferred to a thumb drive. When I listened to the digital versions, the sound was distorted on three of the cassettes. I called to notify The Digitize Center of the problem and they quickly reviewed the faulty cassettes, fixed the problem and put them in the cloud so I could immediately access them at no extra cost.

Unhappy customer

I am disappointed with the final product. I can open each file but I can on look at one picture at a time versus scrolling. It was a waste of money what you did.
I was also charged for a swcondthumb drive which was not needed and should have some of my funds returned.

So Happy!!!

I was extremely satisfied with my choice in choosing the Digitize Center. I had tried another company before them, and they were unable to recover some mini DVDs that I had. This company not only recovered them, but had them done in time for Christmas (much faster than the estimated window). We were able to watch them as a family on Christmas Eve!! Thank you, thank you!!! I will def be using again.

10 reels of 8-millimeter reels turned out great. Quality is great. Time to fulfill order was reasonable.

Home Movies Digitized

After cancelling my order with another company that would not convert my mini-DVDs I found The Digitize Center who accepted all of my media (tape and mini-DVDs) and quickly converted everything to a single useful format. I highly recommend The Digitize Center and will use them again!
