Hi8 & MiniDV to Digital Transfer Service

Hi8, Video8, Digital8 and MiniDV tapes were widely used in camcorders for home videos, events and family recordings. Over time, these tapes degrade and playback equipment is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Tape2Digital provides a professional Hi8 and MiniDV transfer service, converting your camcorder tapes into high-quality digital files that can be easily watched, shared and preserved.

​

Why Transfer These Tapes?

Both Hi8 and MiniDV tapes degrade over time and may suffer from:
