Hi8 / Digital8 tape to DVD Transfer Service

We transfer your Hi8 & Digital8 tapes to DVD, Blu-ray or USB

Hi8 to DVD & Digital8 to DVD, Blu-ray, or USB
Transfer all your Hi8 tapes to DVD, Blu-ray, or USB. Wedding videos, birthdays, family holidays – Hi8 tapes deteriorate over a period of time, so make sure you do not lose those precious memories.

We transfer your Hi8 tapes using the highest-quality players which are regularly serviced to ensure optimum picture quality. A Digital8 tape you may not be able to play at home may be perfectly playable – we are happy to check for you if you pop in and we will only charge for a successful conversion. We can even repair most tapes FREE of charge.

Also, if your tape is under 5 minutes in length, then we only charge £5.00 for the conversion!

Placing an order
To place an order, visit our Gravesend office, drop your tapes in to one of our drop-off points (Maidstone, Tonbridge, Ashford, or Ramsgate), or post your tapes to Media Transfer, The Maltings, 56 Bath Street, Gravesend, Kent DA11 0DF. Return postage is £3.95 for up to 4 tapes, £8.95 for up to 9 tapes, and FREE for orders of 10+ tapes.

If you have 10+ tapes and live in the DA, ME, Kent TN, BR, and some RH postcode areas, we now offer free personal collection AND delivery of your tapes. Just give us a call on 01474 569 390 to arrange a collection.

Please call us on 01474 569 390 if you require more information on any of our services.

Hi8 Tape

History

The 8mm video format refers informally to three related videocassette formats: the original Video8 (analogue recording) format; its improved successor Hi8 (analogue video and analogue audio but with provision for digital audio); and a more recent digital recording format known as Digital8.

Digital8 equipment uses the same videocassettes as analogue-recording Hi8 equipment, though the Digital8 signal is encoded digitally using the industry-standard DV codec.
