Old VHS tapes and home videos capture moments that can never be recreated, first birthdays, holidays, graduations, and everyday memories that tell your family’s story.
Archive Lane digitizes personal, home-recorded video formats to help protect these recordings from tape degradation and equipment loss. In some cases, clients later choose to incorporate digitized clips into Digital Slideshows.
Especially helpful for:
Families with VHS, MiniDV, or other aging home video tapes
Individuals without access to working playback equipment
Those preserving milestone events like weddings, birthdays, and graduations
Anyone wanting to protect recordings from tape deterioration
Bring your home videos back to life.
-
Photo and video digitization is priced by item, allowing you to mix formats while keeping pricing clear and predictable.
What counts as an item:
1 video tape = 1 item
1 batch of up to 50 photos = 1 item
Packages are designed to be flexible, so you can combine photo batches and video tapes within the same order.
-
We digitize a wide range of consumer home video formats, including:
VHS
VHS-C
MiniDV
Hi8 / Digital8
Other common home video formats (reviewed upon request)
If you’re unsure what format you have, we’re happy to help identify it before you get started.
