Hardware UP-SCALING From Standard Definition to HD 1080p
NOW OFFERING Hardware UP-SCALING from Standard Definition to HD 1080p of Beta Cassettes, MiniDV cassette, Hi8/Digital8/Video8 and VHS tape to HD 1080p.
Cost: $22.50/hr of video.
Due to the higher resolution and post-processing, this CAN take longer on orders depending on the length of the tape/number of tapes in the order. The better the condition of the video tape, the better the picture.
NOTE: The end result may not always be the pristine pin-point sharp picture as if it was right off of a blu-ray disc as many factors come into play- particularly the age of the video tape/etc. Yet this DOES give a notably better re-production of the tape- particularly when watching on larger TV screens. The resolution from most Video Cassettes as we know them was anywhere from 320 X 240 (early video cassettes, 4 x 3), 640 X 480 (later video cassettes (4 x 3) or 720 x 480 (16 x 9) when widescreen was introduced.
The Hardware upscaler is in between the tape’s player and the computer while on record, giving either the resolution of 1440 X 1080 (upscaled from 320 x 240 or 640 X 480) or 1920 X 1080 (upscaled from 720 x 480.)
Pricing For Our VHS to Digital Service Etc

If the clients include an external hard drive for digital files with their order; this will ensure maximum quality of video.

We Offer Video Tape Repair!
It was always the way- there came the day where the VCR or the camcorder had the audacity to eat the tape while either recording or playback of the content. To make matters worse, it was not only the only copy available- it was forever confined to being stuck inside a dead camcorder or VCR- or the tape ended up being ripped somewhere in the middle or the beginning. Recapture Your Memories DOES offer video cassette tape repair on all video tapes. (In the event the tape is too fragile, we will make a referral- otherwise- you can be assured your videos will be copied from that broken tape. Both VHS Tapes, VHS-C Tapes and HI8/Video8/Digital8 tapes were fairly robust in their construction. Having fixed a number of both video and audio tapes in the past, bring them along and we’ll be pleased to work on them! Our VHS to digital service truly goes above and beyond!
Testimonial
“Nigel not only does great work at a reasonable price but the title of his company ‘Recapture Your Memories’ is true.
Having access to old pictures, especially ones of people who aren’t with me any more, has kept them very much alive for me.In my case, the pictures even move so the people in them really are alive!
Even in the reduced income of retirement I was able to share this gift with my sister because I could afford to have our old home movies made digital.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nigel to anyone who wants their memories recaptured.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Hi8
Discover answers to commonly asked questions about Hi8 tapes.
If your question isn’t listed here, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for personalized assistance.
Is Hi8 the same as MiniDV?
No, Hi8 and MiniDV are different formats. Hi8 is an analog video format, part of the 8mm video tape family, known for its high-quality image. MiniDV, on the other hand, is a digital video format, offering even higher resolution and digital video quality. The main difference lies in their recording technology; Hi8 tapes store video analogically, while MiniDV tapes use digital encoding, which typically results in clearer, crisper images and sound.
Can Mini DV play Hi8?
Mini DV and Hi8 use different formats and types of tapes, making them incompatible with each other’s playback devices. Mini DV players cannot play Hi8 tapes directly. However, it’s possible to transfer Hi8 video content to a digital format compatible with Mini DV or other digital playback systems through digital conversion services.
Can I play 8mm tapes on a Hi8 camcorder?
Yes, Hi8 camcorders are typically backward-compatible with the older 8mm and Video8 formats. This means you can play 8mm tapes on most Hi8 camcorders without issues. However, it’s important to note that while you can play 8mm tapes in a Hi8 camcorder, you cannot record Hi8 quality video onto 8mm tapes due to the difference in tape formulation and recording technology.
Can you play Video 8 tapes in a Hi8 camcorder?
Yes, you can play Video 8 tapes in a Hi8 camcorder. Hi8 devices are generally backward-compatible with the Video 8 format, allowing you to play older Video 8 tapes. However, while playback is possible, recording on a Video 8 tape with a Hi8 camcorder will not improve the video quality to Hi8 standards due to the tape’s inherent limitations.
What is the resolution of Hi8?
The resolution of Hi8 video is approximately 400 horizontal lines, which is a significant improvement over the 240 lines offered by its predecessor, Video8. This increased resolution contributes to clearer, more detailed images, making Hi8 a preferred choice for higher-quality analog video recording before the advent of digital video formats like MiniDV and Digital8.
How do I watch Hi8 tapes?
To watch Hi8 tapes, you have a few options depending on your setup and the equipment available to you. If you still own a Hi8 camcorder or a compatible 8mm video player, you can play your Hi8 tapes directly through these devices and connect them to your TV using the appropriate AV cables. If you no longer have access to Hi8 playback equipment, digital conversion services can transfer your Hi8 tapes to digital formats such as DVD, USB drives, or cloud storage, allowing you to watch your videos on modern digital devices.
Is Hi8 digital or analog?
Hi8 is an analog video format, an improvement on the original 8mm video format (also known as Video8). It was introduced by Sony in the late 1980s to provide higher resolution and better color fidelity. Despite its high-quality analog video capabilities, Hi8 does not record digital video. The digital successor to Hi8 is Digital8, which records digital video on the same physical tape format.
How long are Hi8 tapes?
Hi8 tapes come in various lengths, typically ranging from 30 to 120 minutes of recording time when recorded in the SP (Standard Play) mode. In the EP (Extended Play) mode, the recording time can be doubled or tripled, allowing for up to 360 minutes of video on a 120-minute tape. However, using EP mode may slightly reduce the video quality due to the decreased tape speed.
What does Hi8 mean?
Hi8, short for “High Band Video8,” is an analog video format introduced by Sony in 1989. It was designed as an improvement over the older Video8 format, offering higher resolution and better color fidelity, making it popular for home video recording. The “Hi” in Hi8 stands for “High Band,” referring to the increased bandwidth used for recording video signals, which results in improved picture quality compared to standard Video8.
What is Hi8?
Hi8 is an analog video format developed by Sony as an improvement to the original 8mm video format, also known as Video8. It offers enhanced video quality with higher resolution and better color fidelity, making it a popular choice for amateur and professional videographers in the late 1980s and 1990s. Hi8 tapes are physically similar to Video8 tapes but use a different recording technique to achieve better image quality.
What is the difference between Hi8 and Digital8?
The main difference between Hi8 and Digital8 lies in their recording formats: Hi8 is an analog format, while Digital8 is digital. Although Digital8 tapes are physically the same as Hi8 tapes, Digital8 camcorders record digital video data onto the tape, offering improved video and audio quality, as well as the ability to easily transfer videos to computers and other digital devices without losing quality. Digital8 camcorders can typically play back Hi8 and Video8 tapes, offering a bridge between analog and digital video formats.
