"Back in Time Machine preserved my rapidly deteriorating and irreplaceable VCR-taped memories quickly and professionally. Bob is passionate about his work and will not disappoint." —Chuck Matthews, Chicago, IL.
Don't wait until it is too late! NOW is the time to preserve your family's photos, videos and audio cassettes. Slides, negatives and prints fade with time. Video and audio tapes have an even shorter shelf life (roughly 15 years). Tapes recorded as recently as 1997 are in danger of oxidation and should be transferred to DVD.
Back In Time Machine offers videotape transfers for as low as $15.00 per hour of footage. We offer transfers to DVD from the following formats:
VHS / S-VHS / VHS-C tapes
Digital 8 / Hi-8/8 / 8mm tapes
Mini-DV tapes / Mini-DVD
We will bring those memories alive and make them 'new' again by transferring the images and sound to the DVD format. DVDs enjoy a shelf life of more than 100 years, which safeguards your memories for generations to come.
We can do more than straight preservation work. We specialize in compilations. Talk to us about creating slideshow, video and audio productions that bring your treasured moments safely and creatively into the 21st century—to be watched again and again.
Here is an example of a video production that combines still photographs, video clips and music to tell the story of a winning soccer season:
"Bob: We showed the video montage tonight at our soccer party. It was amazing! All the parents were crying, and the boys were hooting and hollering. You really made it special and I thank you." —Alexa Clarke, Miami, FL.
