How it Works
Yes! We always send back your originals with delivery of your new digitized home movies. Your digitized tapes are provided back to you on a convenient thumb drive, provided online through Google Drive, or on professionally authored DVDs. You choose which way you’d like to receive them. Digital files on thumb drive and cloud are the industry standard MPEG-4 file format. You can then easily download files to a hard drive or your computer. For quality, each tape is provided its own DVD, we do not combine them.
Original Analog Quality, Captured and Preserved Digitally Digital MP4 File (most common type for digital files, works great on computers) 640 x 480 Dimensions (captures full size of analog tape) 1-2 GB Average File Size (lots of data, high quality) Fun Nerdy Tech Specs (for those who really want to know!) H.264 MPEG-4 AVC (part 10), 480p, 29.97 FPS, SD, Progressive, VBR 1500-3000 kbps DVD variable encoding M2v, compressed depending on length, authored to VOB
No problem, we’ll let you know and you can send in another item at no charge. Please note that if a tape has even a few minutes of footage on it, we will move forward with the video tape transfer and convert it into a digital video. The processing for shorter tapes is the same as longer, so conversions are charged per tape, not based on the length of footage.
We use the very best equipment, processes, and proprietary software in the industry to get the best conversion possible. That said, the quality of your digitized home movies are based on the quality of the original footage you provide. This is why it’s so important to preserve your tapes right away, before they deteriorate any further. We provide complimentary splicing if your tape film is broken. Items like mold or broken tape housings are not repaired at this time as they can be very difficult and potentially harm our equipment.

More About Our Video Transfer Service
We salute you, 1980s camcorder parents: your sore arms, your heavy shoulders, your dilated right eyes, panning soccer fields left and right, zooming in and out with flair. During this time, streamlined and affordable technologies turned every American family into a home TV studio. We all began capturing priceless memories. Ballet recitals; bar mitzvahs; Dad’s famous water ski wipeout; vacations; and much more.
The effort behind putting memories to tape was time well spent, and now it’s important to preserve those precious memories. Convert your home videos to digital media before they are lost forever. These days, finding a VCR that doesn’t eat old tapes or an adapter for those non-VHS formats will prove to be difficult. Also, the magnetic tape inside video cassette cartridges begins to break down after 15 years—first in quality, and then the images themselves. No matter the tape format—anything big or small with a cartridge that stores information on tape—transfer them before it’s too late.
The handling of memories is sensitive territory, so it’s understandable that you’ve held onto your family legacy tightly.
Here at Legacybox, we’d be honored for the chance to earn your trust with our video to DVD (or thumb drive, or digital download) transfer service. Our technicians safely digitize over one million feet of videotape in our studio every day. Just say the word and we will send a crushproof Legacybox your way with pre-paid roundtrip shipping and tracking via FedEx. After everything is transferred to digital, we return all of your original tapes. Memories are priceless, but in the case of videotape, they are not timeless. We’re here to help!
