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 camcorder 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 Camcorder tapes?

Yes, we can digitize all consumer camcorder tapes, including NTSC, PAL, and SECAM.

What type of camcorder tapes can you digitize?

We can digitize nearly all consumer camcorder tapes, including 8mm, Hi8, Digital 8, MiniDV, MicroMV, and VHS/VHS-C.

What is included with the Digitize Kit?

The Digitize Kit is a special secure and crush-proof box we send you so that you can pack up your memories to send back to us. Included in the box is a Welcome Guide with useful information to help you pack up your memories. Also included is a Customer Card for you to fill out.

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.

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!

generally good quality renderings

cassette tapes from 40 years ago were cleaned up well. Reel to reel from 60 years ago were garbled, but probably the best they could do with them

The Best Purchase

The best Christmas gift to give! They turned our order around in less than a week and the quality was exceptional. We have enjoyed reliving the moments in the video! We tried to do it ourselves first, but gave up and tried the Digitize Center and could not be happier. The quality and ease was 5 star service.

Memories Preserved!!

The Digitize Center saved me time and money converting my old videos. I was researching how to purchase old systems to view various old tapes from multiple different sources. They could not have made it any easier. Planning a family viewing session over the holidays so everyone can enjoy the memories. Thank you. (I just sent another 20 tapes)

VHS transfer unsuccessful

Thanks for all the transfers. Unfortunately the one must do transfer was a vhs tape of our wedding from 1996. It had never been played. Since it couldn’t be transfered, do you know another co. That can try ?
Thank you!

50 years of memories

As my wife and I began watching old home movies and family videos, we asked ourselves why we hadn’t done this sooner. It was so easy and we are thrilled with the whole process! Don’t wait 50 years to relive your past.

8 mm reels digitized

I sent in 2 old family 8mm reels to see how they would turn out, and I have to say, it was the best thing i could have done for my siblings. We have plenty more!

Christmas is Back

I got all 13 Christmas CDs/CDRs converted to the Cloud and onto a USB drive. This is due to the fact that modern vehicles don't have CD players anymore and I always listened to Christmas music while driving when there were CD players in your vehicle. The sound quality is crisp and clear on USB and Cloud. Nothing is lost from the conversion. The company did a great job.

Excellent job, and very rapid service

I was impressed with the quality of service, and the quick turn-around. I sent several types of slides and videos -- some were over 70 years old -- they were my father's and I had no idea what was in them! All were digitized beautifully, and were easy to access and view from the usb drive. Thank you for a job well done!

30 years since I’ve seen my videos

I am so happy that I sent in my videos to have them put on CDs. We have enjoyed these movies that we have not seen for 30 years. I can’t wait to send in more of my VHS is to have them put into CD form. Thank you so much. You did a wonderful job

Benefit of doubt

I paid extra for faster turn around time. They were very good communicating throughout the process and the whole process took less than a month. The quality on the cd's sound is muffled and sometimes hard to understand. However the cassettes were old so maybe they are good for the sound they retrieved off the tape cassettes. Given my experience with this company I would give them the benefit of doubt. That is to say, the cassette tapes may have sounded awful and they cleaned up the sound, so the muffled sound is probably an improvement over the cassette.
