I digitised my parents' wedding tape, forgotten for 25 years. We watched it together at Christmas. Seeing my father moving, hearing his voice — it floored me.

What you actually get
Not a gadget. A weekend, and it’s done.
They can finally watch it
The film becomes an ordinary MP4 file. It opens on a phone, a laptop, a smart TV — anything your grandchildren already use.
Because it records to plain MP4, not a proprietary formatThe sound stays with the picture
No drift, no lip-sync creeping apart halfway through the tape. What you hear is what was on it.
Because picture and audio are captured together, in real timeYou see it working as it goes
No guessing whether it caught anything. The screen shows the recording live, so you know within seconds.
Because the screen is built in, not on a computer you have to set upNothing is posted to a stranger
The one copy of your wedding stays on your own table. No courier, no lab, no three-week wait.
Because the converter comes to the tapes, not the other way roundThree ways to digitise
Mail-in labs take weeks. The PC route is far too fiddly.
That leaves one simple option — done quietly at your own kitchen table.

A lab wanted $22 a tape. With 30 tapes that was never going to happen. The unit paid for itself the first afternoon — and my tapes never left the house.

I'd tried one of those USB capture sticks — a nightmare. This I plugged in and understood in five minutes. My kids' baby videos are finally safe.

What happens when
From the doorstep to the whole collection
- The day it arrivesOut of the box, three coloured plugs into your player, memory card in. Nothing to install. Around ten minutes.
- That eveningFirst tape plays, first recording made. Most people watch it back the same night — and most people are surprised by how much they had forgotten.
- The first weekendYou work through the box. Each tape records in real time, so put one on and get on with something else.
- The week afterFiles go onto a laptop, into the family group chat, onto a stick for your brother. The tapes go back in the cupboard, and it stops mattering that they are fading.

Why you can take our word for it
We would rather tell you the limits
We say what it cannot do
It will not add detail the tape never had, and it needs a working VCR or camcorder. Both are on this page because finding out after the fact is worse.
Real specifications, not marketing numbers
Every figure above is verifiable on the device. Nothing rounded up to sound better.
30 days to change your mind
Full refund, no questions asked. One-year manufacturer warranty on materials and workmanship.
Support from people, on WhatsApp
If a tape will not play, you message us and a person answers.
Everything you need to know
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a computer? +
No. The converter works on its own, with a built-in screen, and records straight to a USB stick or SD card. No software, no drivers. Plug it in, press record, done.
Do I need my VCR or camcorder? +
Yes. The converter records the video while the tape plays, so you need a working player. The device then captures picture and sound without ever touching the tape itself.
Will the audio stay in sync? +
Yes. Unlike cheap USB capture sticks where the audio drifts, this records picture and sound together in real time. Nothing to configure.
Which formats are supported? +
VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, Video8, Digital8, MiniDV, camcorders, DVD players and set-top boxes — anything that plays through the supplied RCA/AV cable.
Does digitising improve the quality? +
It captures your tape faithfully into a clean digital file that plays anywhere. It locks in the current quality before the tape degrades further — it does not add detail that was never there.
Where are my videos saved? +
As MP4 files on a USB stick or SD card. From there you can move them to a computer, phone or TV and share them easily.
Will it record store-bought movies? +
Usually not, and that is by design. Most commercial movie tapes carry copy protection, so the recording may refuse, flicker or come out dark. The converter is made for your own recordings: weddings, birthdays, holidays, camcorder tapes. Those record normally. If a home tape ever gives you trouble, message us on WhatsApp.
Does it work with UK, European and US tapes? +
Yes. It records both PAL (UK, Europe, Australia) and NTSC (US) tapes, as long as your VCR or camcorder can play them.
How long does one tape take? +
Real time. A two-hour tape takes two hours to record. Press record, and get on with your evening while it plays.
How long is delivery? +
7–12 business days to the US, UK and Australia. Shipping is free and every order is tracked.
What if it is not for me? +
You are covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee. Send it back for a full refund, no questions asked.
