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.

Tapes To Digital
Converting tapes in Melbourne: your questions answered
Where can I drop off tapes for conversion in Melbourne?
Tapes To Digital has three by-appointment drop-offs in Melbourne. North Melbourne is on Errol Street, North Melbourne VIC 3051, 3 km north-west of the CBD in the City of Melbourne. Greenvale is on Beechworth Avenue, Greenvale VIC 3059, 20 km north of the CBD in the City of Hume. Point Cook is on Jolimont Road, Point Cook VIC 3030, 22 km south-west of the CBD in the City of Wyndham. None is a shopfront, so the exact address comes with your booking confirmation. They are three of 14 drop-offs across Australia.
Can I post my tapes instead?
Yes — from anywhere in Australia, at exactly the same per-tape price and turnaround. Message us with roughly how many tapes you have and we will reply with a quote and where to send them. Your original tapes always come back with your files.
How much does tape conversion cost in Melbourne?
The same per-tape price as every other location and by post: $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. Mixed formats count together towards the discount. Every price includes up to 3 hours per tape and an MP4 of every tape; a DVD is optional at $12 per disc.
How long does it take?
Most orders are ready in 7–10 business days from the day we receive your tapes. Small orders with a deadline can often be turned around faster — ask when you book.
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.
What do I get back?
MP4 as standard, which plays on any phone, computer or smart TV. Ask for the archival AVI/MOV master and we'll supply it alongside your MP4 at the same price. Files come on USB, as a download link or on an external hard drive, and a DVD is optional at $12 per disc.
Will I get my original tapes back?
Yes, always. Every original tape comes back to you with your digital files. There is no charge for blank tapes or for transfers we can't complete.
My tape is longer than 3 hours. Does it cost more?
Up to 3 hours of footage per tape is included in every price; anything beyond that is $11 per extra 90 minutes. A tape's recorded length can't be read from the cassette, so it is only known once the tape has been played through, and any extra-length charge is confirmed at the end of the job.
Can you convert American or overseas tapes?
Yes. Tapes recorded in the USA (NTSC) or France (SECAM) are $11 extra per tape on top of the standard price. If you're not sure where a tape was recorded, bring it in and we'll check it.
Can you fix mouldy or damaged tapes?
Yes. Cleaning mould and debris, and repairing snapped or damaged tapes, starts at $28 per tape on top of the conversion price. We assess every tape first. If a tape looks mouldy, don't play it at home — bring it in as it is.
Can I get my videos on DVD?
Yes. A DVD copy is $12 per disc on top of your digital files. One disc holds up to 2 hours, so longer recordings are split across discs rather than compressed. See our VHS to DVD page for disc options.
How do I book a drop-off in Melbourne?
Book a time online at North Melbourne, Greenvale or Point Cook, or message us on WhatsApp or call +61 485 031 678. Every drop-off is by appointment and the exact address comes with your confirmation. Prefer to post? Message us first and we'll send you a quote and where to send your tapes.
Which Melbourne drop-off is closest to me?
The CBD and inner suburbs — Kensington, Flemington, Carlton, West Melbourne and Docklands — are closest to North Melbourne. Northern suburbs such as Craigieburn, Roxburgh Park, Meadow Heights, Bulla and the rest of Hume are closest to Greenvale. The west and south-west — Williams Landing, Hoppers Crossing, Werribee, Laverton, Altona Meadows, Williamstown and the rest of Hobsons Bay — are closest to Point Cook. If none suits, post your tapes instead at the same price.
Do I need to book?
