Why Convert Video8 to Digital?
Video8 tapes were popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s, capturing countless memories of family vacations, birthdays, and special occasions. However, like all analog media, Video8 tapes degrade over time, risking the loss of your irreplaceable memories. By digitizing your Video8 collection, you can safeguard these memories against deterioration and ensure they remain accessible for future generations.
Converting your Video8 tapes safeguards them against age-related degradation, ensuring your memories are preserved in crystal-clear digital quality.

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!
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
For the cost of $15.00/hr of video to either DVD or Digital file, the client is able to receive both a copy in DVD format of their videos as well as including the digital video files of their video tapes in either WINDOWS MEDIA VIDEO format or QUICKTIME format for easy sharing with the family or custom video-editing. If the clients include an external hard drive for digital files with their order; this will ensure maximum quality of video.

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 Video8
Is Video 8 the same as 8mm?
Video 8 and 8mm refer to the same format, often used interchangeably to describe the 8mm video cassette format developed by Sony in the 1980s. It was the first of the 8mm video formats, providing compact and high-quality video recording, distinct from the larger VHS and Betamax formats of the time.
Is Video 8 the same as Hi8?
Video 8 and Hi8 are related but distinct formats. Hi8, introduced by Sony after Video 8, offered improved video and audio quality. While both use the same 8mm tape, Hi8 recordings are incompatible with standard Video 8 players due to the different recording standards.
How do I convert Video 8 to DVD?
To convert Video 8 tapes to DVD, you can use a Video 8 camcorder connected to a DVD recorder or a computer equipped with a video capture device. The Video 8 camcorder plays the tape, and the connected device captures the video in digital form, allowing you to burn it onto a DVD using DVD authoring software.
How to transfer Video 8 to DVD?
To “transfer” Video 8 to DVD means the exact same thing as to “convert” it. Since they are indeed the same process, Transferring Video 8 to DVD involves playing the tape in a Video 8 camcorder or player, capturing the video using a video capture device connected to a computer, and then using software to edit, if desired, and burn the video to a DVD. This process digitizes your Video 8 content, preserving it on a more durable and accessible digital format.
Why Hire A Video 8 Transfer Service Provider To Digitize Video8?
A Video 8 transfer service will be able to achieve better results than a transfer at home, or at the pharmacy. Better hardware, better software, more expertise, and higher standards make all the difference. This is particularly true if any restoration needs to take place.
At home this will be extremely difficult, and at the store they will not perform restoration at all. Compared to the initial video, these transfers almost always look worse.
