Do you have a collection of old VHS, VHSc, Hi8, or MiniDV camcorder tapes filled with precious family memories?
Many of these tapes are now deteriorating in cupboards and lofts, and in many cases the equipment needed to play them is long gone.
Whether it’s a wedding video, birthday party, family holiday, or school play, we can help you bring those special moments back to life. At Milford’s Digital Studio, we digitise and convert video tapes to DVD or USB, making them easy to watch again and simple to share with friends and family.
There’s no better time to preserve your home movies for future generations.

Hello and welcome to Milford's Digital Studio. With our professional video digitisation service, we can convert a wide range of formats including VHS, VHSC, 8mm, Hi8, Digital 8 and MiniDV.
Using state-of-the-art digitisation equipment and the latest professional editing software, we carefully enhance and re-edit your videos, producing a high-quality digital copy of your precious memories. These upgraded versions are easier than ever to view at home or share with family and friends.
Our standard service includes trimming of the original footage to remove interlacing, along with corrections to brightness and contrast levels. For those wanting even more detail, our premium service provides advanced enhancements including additional brightness and contrast adjustments, plus colour correction for improved clarity.
We also offer creative options such as turning old square-ratio videos into widescreen formats that look great on today’s modern TVs. Other extras include background music, professional title sequences and more — perfect for adding a personal touch to your digitised videos.
As you can see in this demonstration, we compare our standard and premium services side by side to show the difference in quality. Once the digitisation process is complete, your videos can be supplied as DVDs or saved onto a single high-capacity USB stick. Extra copies are available, giving you even more easy sharing options.
More details about all of our video transfer and digitisation services can be found on our website. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re always happy to adapt our services to meet your exact needs and preserve your memories for years to come.
