VHS Tapes to Digital Conversion

VHS tapes contain some of the most irreplaceable footage filmed by Australian families across the past four decades: backyard cricket, school concerts, family holidays, and events recorded off television. Without a working VCR, that footage cannot be watched. VHS to digital conversion turns those tapes into MP4 files you can watch, share, and store on any device, with no specialist hardware required.

VHS to Digital Converter Service Available Across Australia

VHS to digital conversion at TapesToDigital is handled using professional converters, not consumer capture sticks. Each tape is played back in real time and the signal captured directly to a digital file, preserving as much of the original recording quality as the tape allows. Every tape comes back as an MP4 for everyday viewing, with the archival AVI or MOV master for long-term storage available at the same price on request. You can have your files on a USB, as a download, or on an external hard drive, with a DVD optional at $12 per disc. We have 11 drop-off locations across Sydney, Wollongong, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Canberra and Adelaide, and we accept tapes by post from anywhere in the country at the same price.

Best VHS to Digital Transfer Results: Formats We Accept

VHS tapes to digital conversion covers tapes in all conditions, including those with mould, physical damage, or recordings that have not been played since the 1990s. Each tape is inspected before the transfer begins, and cleaning or repair is quoted separately from $28 per tape. If you have a mixed collection, we also convert VHS-C, MiniDV, Video 8, Hi8 and Digital 8 and 8mm film, so different formats go through in the same order and count together towards the bulk discount. There is no charge for blank sections, or for tapes we cannot recover.

VHS to Digital Service Pricing in Australia

VHS conversion starts at $24 per tape including GST: $45 each for 1–4 tapes, $38 for 5–10, $32 for 11–20, $28 for 21–30, and $24 for 30 or more. Every price covers up to 3 hours of footage per tape and includes an MP4 as standard, with the archival master available at the same price on request. A DVD is $12 per disc, and tapes recorded in the USA (NTSC) or France (SECAM) are $15 extra per tape. See our tape conversion pricing page for the full rate schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions:
VHS to DVD and Digital Conversion

How much does it cost to convert VHS to DVD in Australia?

Converting a VHS tape costs $45 per tape for 1–4 tapes, $38 for 5–10, $32 for 11–20, $28 for 21–30 and $24 per tape for 30 or more, GST included. Every price covers up to 3 hours of footage per tape and includes an MP4 file as standard, with the archival AVI/MOV master available at the same price on request, converted using professional converters, not consumer capture sticks. A DVD is $12 per disc if you want one. The same per-tape prices apply to VHS-C, MiniDV, Video 8, Hi8, Digital 8, DVDs and audio cassettes, and a mixed order counts together for the bulk discount.

Do you still convert VHS to DVD, or only to digital files?

Yes, we still convert VHS to DVD — and every transfer also includes an MP4 as standard, with the archival AVI/MOV master available at the same price on request, so you get the disc and the files. DVDs are $12 per disc and are not copy-protected, so you are free to copy them for family. Most customers now choose digital files rather than discs, because MP4s play on phones, TVs and computers and can be shared and backed up, but the DVD option isn't going away.

How long does VHS to DVD conversion take?

Most orders are ready in 7–10 business days from the day we receive your tapes. Small orders can often be turned around in a day or two if you need them urgently, and large collections take longer. Tell us your deadline when you book and we'll say straight away whether we can meet it.

What format will my VHS tapes be converted to?

Every tape comes back as an MP4 for everyday viewing and sharing. If you also want the archival AVI or MOV master for long-term storage and editing, just ask — it is available at the same price. We can supply your files on a USB we provide, as a download, on a USB you bring in, or on an external hard drive if you want the archival masters as well. A DVD is optional at $12 per disc.

How many VHS tapes fit on one DVD?

One DVD holds up to 2 hours of footage, so a standard tape fits on a single disc and a longer recording is split across two. We split long recordings across multiple discs rather than squeezing them onto one, because compression is what makes converted video look soft and blocky. Each disc is $12, and the DVDs we supply are not copy-protected.

My VHS 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 VHS tape's recorded length can't be read from the cassette — an E-180 or E-240 label tells you the maximum, not how much was actually recorded — so the length is only known once the tape has been played all the way through. Any extra-length charge is confirmed at the end of the job, and only ever applies to footage that was actually there.

Can you convert VHS-C, MiniDV or Hi8 tapes at the same price?

Yes — VHS-C, MiniDV, Video 8, Hi8, Digital 8, DVDs and audio cassettes are all charged at the same flat per-tape rate as full-size VHS, with no extra handling charges. Bring the small VHS-C cassette as it is. If you have a mix of formats, they all count together towards the bulk discount.

Can you convert American or overseas VHS tapes?

Yes. Tapes recorded in the USA or France cost an extra $15 per tape on top of the standard price. Australian tapes are PAL, American tapes are NTSC and French tapes are SECAM, and each needs different equipment to play back correctly. If you're not sure where a tape was recorded, bring it in and we'll check it.

Can you fix a damaged or mouldy VHS tape before converting it?

Yes. Cleaning mould and debris, and repairing VHS or VHS-C tapes, starts at $28 per tape on top of the conversion price. We assess every tape first — snapped tape, broken shells and surface mould can usually be cleaned or spliced and then converted. Severe mould or water damage can reduce picture quality or, in some cases, make a tape unplayable, so if a tape looks bad, don't try to play it at home; bring it to us as it is.

Where can I get VHS tapes converted to DVD near me?

TapesToDigital has 11 drop-off locations across Australia, and you can post tapes to us from anywhere in the country.

Prices are the same whether you drop off or post in.

What happens to my original VHS tapes after conversion?

Every original tape comes back to you with your digital files — always. They are your memories, and we don't keep or dispose of them. Once you have your digital files the tape becomes a backup rather than the only copy, though most people keep them anyway.

Is it legal to convert my old family videos, and who sees the footage?

Yes — home recordings belong to you and there is no copyright issue in converting them. Our technicians only view footage as far as they need to set up and check the transfer. We can also convert commercially produced tapes, but only where doing so does not breach copyright.

Still have a question about your tapes?

Bring your tapes into any of our 11 locations and we'll look at them and tell you what's involved before anything is charged, or get in touch here.

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.
