How We Do It

Upon receiving your tapes, they will be sorted and marked with a number up to however many are received. ie: #1, #2, #3, etc…

 

Each tape will then be processed through the conversion equipment and recorded start to finish. This recording will begin as soon as the first clip of your memories starts and will stop when the last clip finishes. Any blank unused footage between these two points will not be removed.

For any tape that is completely empty, it will be notated and only half the stated price per tape will be applied. For the stated price per tape to be applied, a tape has to yield at least 1 second of consecutive clear audio or video footage. (Anything found could be precious to you, and we do not want to leave any memory behind and forgotten).

 

All recordings are then compiled onto a single USB storage device and packaged up in a box with your original tapes to be sent back or picked up. (Single fee for storage device will be added to final bill).

Finally, you watch the videos on a smart TV or computer via USB and relive the past! (Tissues not included).

 

Disclaimer

TecConverts promises to be as careful as possible when handling your memories, but due to the antiquated state of analog tape film, it is prone to rip, crease and get pinched during playback or just result in static, choppy distorted footage in the conversion process.

It is possible that the same clip may appear on two different recordings from two separate tapes. TecConverts does not check for any duplicated footage, we just convert each tape “as is” to ensure all possible memories are restored. TecConverts respects your privacy and will only ever see the first and last 1-3 seconds of each recording. 

TecConverts offers free return shipping if the customer agrees to cover the initial shipping cost to get the tapes to TecConverts.

No shipping will be necessary if the customer agrees to drop off and pick up the tapes at the company's address in Lancaster City, PA.

*TecConverts will only burn recordings to DVD discs upon a specific request. Additional costs required*
