Camcorder Tapes
to Digital Conversion
Preserve Your Camcorder Memories
Before They're Lost
If you've discovered a collection of old camcorder tapes but aren't sure what type they are, you're not alone. Many people have family memories recorded on MiniDV, Hi8, Video8, Digital8 or VHS-C tapes, but no longer own a working camcorder to play them.
At Video Rescue, we professionally convert all major camcorder tape formats to high-quality digital files that can be enjoyed on today's computers, televisions and mobile devices. Whether you're located in Brisbane or anywhere else in Australia, you can either drop your tapes off or securely mail them to us for professional digitisation.

Not Sure What Type of Camcorder Tape You Have?

Simply send us a photo of your tape, or include it with your order, and we'll identify it for you before conversion begins.
Why Convert Camcorder Tapes to Digital?
Camcorder tapes don't last forever.
Over time they can suffer from:
Magnetic deterioration
Mould and moisture damage
Playback issues
Colour fading
Loss of video quality
Converting your recordings to digital protects your memories while making them easy to watch, copy and share with family.
