Video tapes were never designed to last forever. The magnetic oxide coating that holds your recordings is bonded to a polyester base with a chemical binder — and that binder breaks down over time through a process called binder hydrolysis.
The result? Tracking lines across the picture. Colour bleeding. Audio warping and dropout. Mould growth in humid storage. Even tapes kept in ideal conditions lose 10-20% of their signal quality every decade.
Most Micro Mv tapes are now 25-40 years old — well past their expected lifespan. And playback equipment is no longer manufactured, making playback increasingly difficult.
Every tape is inspected and cleaned before digitisation. We remove surface mould, treat oxide shedding with controlled baking, repair snapped tape with archival splices, and correct tracking errors using broadcast-quality playback decks with built-in time base correctors. All restoration is included at no extra cost.
Only pay for items you send. Blank or unplayable items are refunded automatically.

A: We specialize in converting standard MicroMV tapes to digital formats. These compact digital videotapes, pioneered by Sony in the early 2000s, are characterized by their small size. If your tapes resemble miniature cassettes, often labeled 'MicroMV,' we can convert them. If you're unsure about your specific tape format, don't worry! Simply send us your tapes securely packaged in our Memory Box, and our experienced specialists will accurately identify each format upon arrival at our lab. We are equipped to handle MicroMV tapes in virtually any condition, including those that are scratched, faded, or showing signs of minor wear.
