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.

  • Preserve your Memories Forever

    Old media items such as camcorder tapes 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.

    Digitizing with The Digitize Center makes it easy to share your memories with family and friends. Once digitized, you can share whichever videos you like easily with the people you choose using our Digital Cloud. Send home movies straight to anyone's smartphone or email in the cloud or order additional thumb drives or DVDs for more physical copies.

  • Protection from Loss or Damage

    Digitized memories are protected from loss or damage with our Digital Memory Cloud Backup. Once digitized, you never have to worry about losing your memories to an unforeseen disaster as we keep your memories backed up in our secure cloud.

Result was what I wanted

Information about the process included realistic estimate of time to completion. Receipt was timely of payment, of my VHS tapes arrival to TDC, of sending the items back to me when job was complete. Shipment by the historically dependent US Postal Service was a good choice as the package arrived in good condition and quickly. I am willing to use TDC again in the future.

Precious Memories Restored!

I am over the moon. Happy with my digitized high eight tapes. A while ago I took the tapes to a local digitizer who told me they could get nothing off them and I was just destroyed. I knew I should have digitized them long ago. When I read about this company that said they have technology that will restore what was thought to be lost. I took a chance and shipped off 10 tapes. Only one was truly destroyed. I got nine wonderful tapes digitized of my daughter from infancy until teens. It was so exciting and so precious.
