Intensive care
recovery service for videotapes that have suffered from
damp or condensation related problems.
This service is
available for:-
VHS,
SVHS, VHSC,
SVHSC, video8 ,Hi8 only
Our intensive care recovery service has been designed for recovering as much of the recorded material as
possible from those important family memories or other irreplaceable
video recordings that have suffered from mould, mildew and other damp
or condensation related problems as well as recordings from tapes with
large or multiple sections of damage and produce a DVD or DVDs for you.
The cassette is strip down and tape is inspected to ascertain the level
of damage. The tape is placed in a modified open video deck where it can be visually
monitored during the digital capturing process. Often contaminated or
badly damaged tapes only run for short periods before problems occur,
the most common is blocked video heads causing loss of picture or sound. So we
often capture the video recording from the
tape in shorter section (that are joined together latter in the process)
this allows for the videotape heads and tape path to be cleaned or the tape
can be
manually move past severely damaged sections or even cut and sliced if
necessary. Once as much of the recorded material as possible has been
captured, the digital files are joined together on one of our editing
stations and a DVD or DVDs are made for you, for additional security of
your captured recording we also keep a digital editing / backup file on
our system for 30 days.
The entire process is very labour intensive and is therefore more expensive than our standard videotape rescue /
transfer service so each case is individually costed, usually after the
initial tape inspection has been carried out.
Contact us by either e-mail or phone to discuss or send the tape or
tapes for our pre-assessment service if the tapes have suffered from
mildew or mould or any other contaminations then please seal in a
polythene bag and send a note with details of the problem.
