U-Matic Video Tape Transfer
Convert to DVD or Editable Files - From £20
Our studios convert all common U-matic video tapes - Low-Band, High-Band and SP - to encoded DVDs ( uneditable) and editable computer files. Editable computer files are provided in place of a normal encoded DVD and are supplied at no extra cost.
We charge £40 per U-matic tape - give us 5 or more and we will give you a 25% discount, bringing the price down to just £30 each.
Due to high archive demands from corporate customers turn around time is at present 10 working days. A Rush Service ( at 50% extra ) may be available - please contact us with your query. We can transfer your U-matic video tape to editable files for computer editing.
Our U-matic video tape transfer service falls under the Kodak umbrella which is your assurance of quality and good service.

How To Order Your Video Tape Transfers
Pop into our store in Camden High Street in London London and chat to our friendly staff about your video transfer work.
You can also put them in a jiffy bag and post your tapes to us. Don't forget to include your contact details!! We will phone you on receipt and take payment over the phone.
Editable MP4 Computer Files
Our encoded DVDs will play on your TV system and on your computer but cannot be edited. We can supply you with editable computer files. These are supplied as MP4s and are good for both PCs and Macs. One hour of video as a MP4 file needs up to 5gb of space. You will need to supply us with a external hard drive or large capacity USB big enough for your MP4 files. We can supply USB sticks at cost, on request.
Extra DVDs
Although DVDs last a lifetime without deterioration in quality one scratch or scuff mark will render it unplayable. For this reason we strongly advise you to order an extra DVD back up copy of your video tapes - the cost is only £5 per tape, even less when having multiple tapes converted.
U-matic Copyright
By asking us to transfer your U-matic video you are giving us an assurance that you are the copyright owner or that you have permission from the copyright owner to duplicate the work.
We only accept UMATIC Video to DVD transfer work on this basis.
