Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about tape condition, turnaround times, and safe studio handling.

What happens if my tape is blank or unplayable? +
We inspect every tape prior to digitization. If a tape is completely blank, unrecorded, or copyrighted TV broadcast that cannot be transferred, you are not charged the full digitization rate—only a minor inspection fee.
Can you repair broken, snapped, or moldy tapes? +
Yes. We perform physical splicing, cassette shell transplants, leader repairs, and light mold remediation in-house before running media through our broadcast decks.
What is the typical turnaround time? +
Standard turnaround is typically 7 to 14 business days depending on the size of your archive. Rush services (24–48 hours) are available upon request for memorials or upcoming family events.
Do I get my original tapes and reels back? +
Always. Your original analog tapes and film reels are carefully boxed and returned to you alongside your new digital media (USB drive, hard drive, or cloud download).
