Why You Should Transfer Your DVDs to USB Now
While DVDs were once the gold standard for home movies, discs naturally degrade, scratch, and break down over time. Worse still, working DVD players and camcorders are becoming entirely obsolete. Converting your discs to digital stops physical deterioration in its tracks and makes your memories instantly accessible.

USB Storage & Sizes Explained
Video Formats & USB Pricing
Standard Delivery: Converted video files are supplied on a high-speed USB memory stick at an additional cost.
USBs are ideal for long-term storage and simple playback.
USB Options & Costs:
64GB USB: £20
128GB USB: £26
256GB USB: £38
Understanding Storage Space
The Rule of Thumb: One hour of digitised video footage typically requires roughly 4–5GB of storage space.
Combine & Save: You do not need a separate USB stick for every disc! A single high-capacity USB drive can easily hold multiple DVDs, Mini DVDs, or camcorder tapes.
💡 Our Advice: We always calculate your total file sizes at the end and place them on the most cost-effective USB size so you never pay for empty storage space.

What is an unfinalised Mini DVD, and can you fix it?
Older DVD camcorders required you to hit a "Finalise" button in the settings before removing the disc.
If this step was missed, the disc structure remains open, making it appear completely blank or causing errors on normal computers.
While we do not finalise the physical disc itself, our Premium service uses specialist data extraction software to bypass this limitation.
The software directly reads, extracts, and copies the hidden raw video data into a standard MP4 file.
Can you recover video from a badly scratched DVD?
It depends heavily on the depth of the scratches.
Light surface scratches can often be bypassed by our professional extraction drives during our Premium transfer process.
However, if a disc has deep cracks or severe "disc rot" (where the internal reflective layer flakes away), the data may be permanently lost.
We will always assess your discs individually and try our best to salvage your footage.
Can you convert commercial Hollywood movies or TV shows to USB?
No. Due to strict UK copyright laws, our DVD to USB conversion service is strictly for personal, non-commercial home movies, family events, wedding videos, and amateur camcorder footage.
We cannot bypass copyright protection on retail shop-bought movies.
