Legacy media conversion

Digitising older physical media so it can be preserved, cleaned up and used again. This page is a service showcase rather than a project index, as most legacy media work is carried out for private citizens rather than public-facing companies.

Formats

MiniDV, VHS and older tape-based media.

We can help convert older formats into usable digital files, creating a safer archive for family recordings, personal tapes, old project footage and other legacy material.

01 Capture

Physical media is captured into a digital workflow.

02 Clean-up

Footage can be reviewed, trimmed and refined where possible.

03 Export

Files are delivered in modern formats suitable for storage, editing or sharing.

Examples

VHS restoration comparison

Move the divider across each frame to compare the original tape ingest with the restored master. The source images remain aligned, so changes to colour, clarity, noise and detail can be examined directly.

Restoration services

Preserve the footage. Improve the experience.

We restore archival footage through a careful modern workflow, including state-of-the-art colour interpolation, denoising, audio enhancement and final colour grading. We can also provide a high-quality digital copy of the restored footage, making older recordings easier to preserve, share and revisit.
