Not sure about the quality? Send one tape first at the standard $45. When you send the rest, your whole order is priced at the bulk rate for the full quantity and the extra you already paid comes off the balance — so trying us first costs you nothing. There's no charge for blank tapes or transfers we can't complete, and 8mm film is priced by reel size rather than per tape.

Quality matters

Your family's tapes deserve a transfer done properly, once.

  • Mouldy or damaged tapes can usually be cleaned or repaired from $28 a tape — the assessment is free and quoted before any work starts, and if we can't repair it, there is no charge. Don't try playing a mouldy or damaged tape at home — that's how a recoverable tape becomes an unrecoverable one. Send it to us as it is.

Converting tapes in Newcastle: your questions answered

Is there a Tapes To Digital drop-off in Newcastle?

Not in Newcastle itself. Most Hunter families post their tapes in, at exactly the same per-tape price as our drop-offs. If you would rather hand them over in person, our nearest drop-offs are in Sydney — Macquarie Park is the closest for anyone driving down the M1, and there are more on our Sydney page. All are by appointment.

How do I post my tapes from Newcastle or the Hunter?

Message us on WhatsApp, call +61 485 031 678 or email contact@tapestodigital.com.au with roughly how many tapes you have and what formats they are. We reply with a quote and the address to send them to. The price and the turnaround are the same as at any drop-off.

How much does it cost to convert tapes to digital in Newcastle?

The same per-tape price as every drop-off: $45 for a single tape, $39 each for 2–4, $35 each for 5–10, $32 each for 11–20, $28 each for 21–30 and $24 each for 31 or more, GST included. Every tape in your order is charged at the rate for your total — VHS, camcorder tapes, DVDs and audio cassettes count together. Up to 3 hours per tape is included.

How long does it take?

Most orders are ready in 7–10 business days from the day we receive your tapes. Tapes are converted in real time, so a large collection takes longer than a handful. If you have a small order and a deadline, tell us when you get in touch — small orders can often be turned around in a day to a few days.

Which formats do you convert?

VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, Video 8, Hi8, Digital 8 and Betamax tapes, audio cassettes, home-recorded DVDs and 8mm or Super 8 film. Most tape formats share one per-tape price; Betamax is $10 above that rate and cine film is priced by reel size. Tapes recorded in the US (NTSC) or France (SECAM) are $11 extra per tape.

Will I get my original tapes back?

Yes, always. Every original tape comes back with your digital files. MP4 as standard; ask for the archival AVI/MOV master and we'll supply it alongside your MP4 at the same price. There is no charge for blank tapes or for transfers we can't complete.

Still not sure? Ask us.

Tell us roughly how many tapes you have and what they are, and we'll come back with a price and a drop-off time.
