Why this service vs a big-box kit
High-level, not a smear. Kits are built to ship untitled files. We catalog people and events and put Our Home Movies on Apple TV for six months.
| National kits | Our Home Movies | |
|---|---|---|
| How you buy | Prepaid kit, often about $15 to $40 per tape as market context | Hours-based estimate on this page, then a confirmed quote |
| What you get back | Untitled files. USB often extra | Catalogued by person and event. Hard drive at $250+ |
| Watching | A short cloud trial is common | Six months on Apple TV, iPhone, and web |
| How tapes get here | Mail only, in most kits | Insured mail-in nationwide |
We’re a new studio. We’ll publish reviews as families finish jobs. Until then we will not invent stars.
Questions about hiring us
How do I start a VHS to digital service order?
Use the estimate on this page, then send your name and a ZIP. We’ll confirm hours, insured shipping, and a start date. Tapes are handled as insured in transit (coverage details pending until the policy is named).
Do I pay on this website?
No. The form is a request, not checkout. We confirm hours and shipping, then send a quote. There is no prepaid kit to buy before we see the tapes.
Do you sell a mail-in kit I prepay?
No. You request an estimate from the calculator, then we arrange Ground or overnight. You are not buying a box of untitled files up front.
What if a capture fails?
If a capture fails, we say so and retry. We don’t ship silence and call it done.
