Well here we are. 16 years of savethosememories. My first paid, professional video transfer was a wedding tape to DVD at a cost of £35 in February 2003! I remember it well and the frustrations of trying to work out how to get rid of an on-screen flicker. I’ve come quite a way since then and as you will read elsewhere I have invested a small fortune and worked a lot of long, long hours…I love it, here is to the next 16 years

I start the year with an incentive for those who only want their video saved to self edit computer files. For February 2019 there is a 20% reduction across the board for all and any format of video tape transfer to PC or MAC files. So £20 per hour of your video footage is now only £16 per hour. See the “Video” section for further detail. It’s been £20 for about 10 straight years and this is my first ever “Sale” in 16 years of business. Take advantage of this discount whilst you can if you have Hi8 tapes, Video 8mm tapes, Digital 8mm tapes, VHS or VHSc tapes, mini DV tapes that you need saving.

Right, on with the detail…..

My name is Chris, I set up my company in February 2003 and I have spent 16 years striving for the perfect digital image, taking every aspect of this business very seriously indeed. Whether it is a Cinefilm to DVD transfer, or any other format such as Camcorder tape transfer, Video tape transfer, Disc, Card, Photo or Slide. I aim to provide the best possible service using class leading equipment, such as the “Memory HD” for cine film. Click on one of the boxes below and it will take you to all the information you need about your current archive format and how I will turn it into a digital format for you. I never, ever cut corners and every decision is made with quality in mind, right down to Daikin Air Conditioning, burglar alarm and 4K CCTV system installed by Recosecurity. This is to keep the equipment (and me) running at peak performance and to maintain the perfect atmosphere for video tape and Cinefilm and so that my customers will know everything is as secure as possible. And if anything should ever go wrong that is out of my control, savethosememories.co.uk are now covered by NFU Mutual Insurance, I have never needed to use insurance, but as always better safe than sorry and another example of just wanting to do things properly. Only I work here, you will only ever talk to me so you will get exactly what you want from my service, it will be tailored to your needs and hopefully your final archive will far exceed your expectations. I will always be upfront and tell you what equipment I use and how your films and videos will be digitized. I look forward to hearing from you.
