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

Old tapes are more fragile than they look.

  • 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. Bring it to us as it is.

Converting tapes in Wollongong: your questions answered

Where can I drop off tapes for conversion in Wollongong?

Tapes To Digital's Illawarra drop-off is on Collaery Avenue, Fairy Meadow NSW 2519, just north of the Wollongong CBD. It is a by-appointment drop-off rather than a shopfront, so book a time online, call +61 485 031 678 or message us on WhatsApp, and the exact address comes with your confirmation.

Can I post my tapes from Wollongong?

Yes. Message us on WhatsApp, call +61 485 031 678 or email contact@tapestodigital.com.au with roughly how many tapes you have, and we reply with a quote and where to send them. The per-tape price and turnaround are the same as dropping off.

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

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. 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 book — small orders can often be turned around in a day to a few days.

Which formats can I bring to Fairy Meadow?

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.

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 with your digital files, collected from Fairy Meadow at a booked time or posted back to you — your choice. 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.

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.

How do I book a drop-off in Wollongong?

Book a time online at Fairy Meadow, 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.

I live in Shellharbour, Kiama or the Southern Highlands. Can I still use you?

Yes. Fairy Meadow is an easy drive from most of the Illawarra, and if it doesn't suit you can post your tapes in from anywhere in Australia at exactly the same per-tape price and turnaround.

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.
