Learn More About Our Video Transfer Service
Let’s pay homage to the resilient parents of the 1980s, the heroes of the camcorder era. Your aching arms, burdened shoulders, and that ever-dilated right eye tirelessly capturing soccer matches, deftly zooming in and out – you turned every British household into a mini TV studio. Priceless memories were etched onto those tapes: ballet recitals, school plays, sports days, family vacations, and so much more.
The time and effort invested in preserving these memories on tape were truly well-spent. However, the importance of safeguarding these precious moments cannot be overstated. It’s time to convert those home videos into digital format before they slip away into oblivion. Nowadays, finding a functional VCR that won’t crunch up your old tapes or an adapter for those non-VHS formats can be quite a challenge.
Additionally, the magnetic tape inside video cassette cartridges begins to deteriorate after 15 years, starting with a decline in quality and ultimately affecting the images themselves.
Video tapes deteriorate over time due to a combination of factors, and this degradation can significantly impact the quality of the recorded content. Here are some common ways in which video tapes deteriorate:
- i) Magnetic Oxide Decay: Most video tapes use a magnetic oxide coating on the tape to store the video and audio information. Over time, this magnetic coating can deteriorate, losing its magnetic properties. This can result in data loss and a decrease in playback quality.
- ii) Physical Wear and Tear: Video tapes pass through various components of the playback equipment, such as the tape heads and rollers. The friction and contact with these components can cause physical wear on the tape, leading to damage, creases, or stretching of the tape.
iii) Oxidation and Rust: Video tapes may also be susceptible to oxidation, especially if stored in humid or damp conditions. This can lead to rusting of the metal parts within the cassette, affecting playback quality.
- iv) Mould and Fungus Growth: Mould and fungus can thrive on the organic materials present in the tape’s binders and the dust that accumulates on the tape. Mould growth can cause visible spots on the tape and damage the recording.
Regardless of the tape format, whether it’s something substantial or petite with a cartridge storing information on tape, it’s crucial to transfer them before it’s too late.
We understand that handling memories is a delicate matter, and it’s natural to hold onto your family’s legacy with a firm grip.
At Supaphoto, we would be deeply honoured to have the opportunity to gain your trust through our video-to-DVD (or thumb drive, or digital download) transfer service. Our skilled technicians meticulously digitise over thousands of feet of videotape in our studio each year. Simply let us know, and we’ll dispatch a crushproof Supaphoto box to your doorstep, complete with pre-paid roundtrip shipping and tracking. Once everything has been transformed into digital format, we return all of your original tapes to you. Memories are truly priceless, but in the case of videotapes, they are not eternal. We’re here to assist you!
Common Questions
The best way to convert your old home videos to DVD is to use a dedicated and experienced digitisation studio, as the process requires good quality equipment and know-how to get the best results. We can then transfer your videos to DVD in an economical way with little fuss to a high level of quality.
To digitise video tapes, you’ll simply need video playback machines, some dedicated specialist software and a USB converter. The reason why many people choose to use specialists like Supaphoto is that we can do the hard work for you so that you sit back and relax.
It’s actually quite a time consuming process if you have never done it before to be honest. We have many clients that have done it but come unstuck in terms of quality too you see.
Well, prices start quite low but we give discounts for bulk orders. Just give us a call and we’ll see how we can help you. .
Our advice is to store video tapes in cool and dry conditions. This will help to prevent the slow deterioration and inhibit mould growth on the tapes. The best thing you can do to preserve your content permanently is simply to transfer the tapes to digital files. This is because your tapes slowly deteriorate over time in any condition.

Scanning Old Photo Albums
Professional Photo Album Scanning
Photo albums are the places that we store many of our most precious memories. Birthdays, Weddings and baby photos all find their way between the pages of photo books and become a place to share our lives with our loved ones.
We all know the pleasure of turning the pages of old photo albums filled with memories, but these well-loved books often become fragile with age, exposing their contents to potential damage or loss.
At Supaphoto we offer the solution to this problem through our professional photo scanning service to deliver you digital and newly printed versions of your beloved photo albums.
We can also produce photo books to protect your photo albums and to reproduce them to share with friends and family as a personalised photo album for example. You’ll see from our many google reviews that people have a good experience of our service.
If you’re looking to commemorate a special memory or to bring your old photo albums back to life through professional book printing we’re confident that a Supaphoto photo album will make the perfect gift whatever the occasion.
To bring you the best service our experienced photo scanning technicians work to ensure that the photos will be in the best possible condition before they are scanned. Before we begin the process of digitising your photos, our team will take the time to prepare them to make sure that your book will be exactly what you need.
We know that many photo albums are filled with precious bits and pieces connected with the photos we take. Our photo album scanning service will take care of your needs.
We will take your loose photos or pages and scan to produce high quality digital images which can then be gathered to create a photo book of your choosing. This process not only gives you a digitised copy of your original photographs for safe keeping but also helps restore the faded colour that physical photographs lose over time.
With you we will then produce a bespoke package of your favourite photos to suit your individual needs. This might even include baby scan photos, an ultrasound picture or high resolution ultrasound scans. Mothers rightly cherish their first ultrasound photo and we will take good care of them too.
In most cases, we’re simply asked to reproduce as best as possible the pages within an album as faithfully as possible – including the original layout. This is important to most customers. Collections of photo albums were often created over many years in most cases and were arranged in a set order. Another feature that we see quite often, is that pages will sometimes include handwritten notes that often relate to multiple images on the same page.
Personalised Photo Books
In many cases, we’re asked to take the albums and produce a set of individual scans from them into a digital format at a quality file size. We can also scan the reverse of the images too for a nominal extra fee. Increasingly, we’re asked to carry out both full page and individual scans. A typical resolution would be 300 dpi or 600 dpi or more depending on the project. We sometimes opt for a higher resolution too. This gives our customers a high degree of flexibility over what they can do thereafter.
Please note that we can optionally remove each original photo from your album and scan them individually before placing the images back into your albums. Most of the time, we’re asked to return them to envelopes. Again if the images are stuck in albums and we’re not sure that they can be safely removed without tearing them, our basic position is to scan them in situ so as to ensure that your precious photographs are not damaged.
We offer a wide variety of options to fit your needs. Whether you’re wanting to combine loose photographs into a printed personalised photo book, produce copies of much loved existing albums, carry out photo printing or simply ask us to scan photographs, it’s likely we’ve got options for you.
