Digitize Old Home Movies

At Wild Root Productions, we specialize in converting VHS, VHS-C, Hi-8 tapes, and DVDs into digital files saved on a convenient flash drive. Whether it’s home videos, special events, or nostalgic moments from years ago, we help you preserve them in a format that’s easy to share and won’t degrade over time.

Pricing is $35 per tape, with discounted rates for larger orders:

  • $30 per tape for 5 or more

  • $25 per tape for 10 or more

We also offer DVD transfers, with pricing dependent on the format and condition of the disc. If you’re unsure what you have, feel free to email us — we’re happy to help you figure it out.

Disclaimer & Client Agreement

VHS and similar analog tapes naturally deteriorate with age, especially if they haven’t been stored properly. As a result, Wild Root Productions cannot guarantee the visual or audio quality of any footage once transferred.

By choosing to have your tapes transferred by us, you acknowledge and accept this condition. You agree that Wild Root Productions is not responsible for any loss of quality due to preexisting damage or deterioration in your original media.

Once your footage is successfully transferred to a flash drive, its current quality will be preserved, and it will no longer degrade over time.

  • We currently transfer VHS, VHS-C, and Hi-8 tapes to digital. If you’re unsure what format you have, feel free to text or email a photo — we’ll help identify it.

  • Yes, we can transfer content from DVDs as well. Pricing depends on the type and format of the disc. Contact us with a description and we’ll give you a quick quote.

  • Your tapes or DVDs will be converted into digital video files and saved on a flash drive. These files can be viewed on most computers, smart TVs, or uploaded to cloud storage for long-term safekeeping.

  • Yes — a flash drive is included with your order. If you have a large batch of tapes, we’ll provide a drive with enough space for all of them.

  • Absolutely. If you’d prefer to use your own storage device, just let us know when you schedule your transfer. We’ll make sure it’s compatible.

  • Nope — and that’s one of the best parts of working with someone local! We’re based in Athens, GA, and offer front porch pickup and drop-off for local clients. If you live in a surrounding town, we may include a small travel fee, but we’re happy to arrange door-to-door service so you never have to worry about shipping your irreplaceable memories.

  • Most transfers are completed within 1–3 weeks, depending on the number of tapes. We’ll give you a more accurate estimate when you schedule your pickup.

  • Yes! You’ll get all your original media back along with your digital files unless you ask us to dispose of them.

  • The transfer service is a direct digital conversion, meaning we preserve the original content as-is. We don’t currently offer full video editing or restoration, but if you need basic trimming or splitting, let us know — additional fees may apply.

  • Just send us an email or message with what you have (number and type of tapes or DVDs), and your location. We’ll confirm pricing and arrange a porch pickup if you’re nearby!
