VHS & Camcorder Tapes to Digital in New South Wales
Five NSW drop-offs in Sydney and Wollongong, or post from anywhere in the state
Tapes To Digital converts VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, Video 8, Hi8, Digital 8 and 8mm film for families across New South Wales. There are five by-appointment drop-offs: four for VHS to digital in Sydney (Killara, Macquarie Park, Parramatta and Beverly Hills) and one for VHS to digital in Wollongong at Fairy Meadow. Everywhere else in NSW, post your tapes at the same price. Conversion is $45 for a single tape, down to $24 each for 31 or more, GST included, and most orders are ready in 7–10 business days.
The same price from Killara to the Riverina.
Every per-tape price, from $45 for a single tape down to $24 each for 31 or more, covers up to 3 hours of footage per tape, MP4 files that play on any phone, computer or smart TV, no charge for blank tapes or transfers we cannot complete, and your original tapes back. It is the same whether you book a drop-off in Sydney or Wollongong or post from a country town, and mixed formats count together towards the discount. The archival AVI/MOV master is available at the same price on request.

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.

Formats we convert
VHS and VHS-C
The full-size home video cassette, and the compact VHS-C cassettes that went with camcorders. Both lose colour and develop tracking faults as they age. Same per-tape price as every other tape format.
