Vintage to Video, old home movies brought home
Magnetic tape doesn't wait forever. VHS, MiniDV and Video8 cassettes from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s are fading in cupboards across Western Australia. We bring them back with care, here in WA, at archival quality, so those voices and faces stay with you.

Why Now
The window for these tapes is quietly closing
10 to 25years
A tape's gentle lifespan
Consumer VHS and Video8 are made to last 10 to 25 years before the binder slowly breaks down. Most family tapes are already past that.
2016last unit made
VHS players are no longer being made
Funai built the world's last VCR in 2016. Working decks, and the parts to keep them running, get harder to find each year.
1careful pass
Some tapes will only play once
A tired tape may only give us one careful pass, so we take our time with each one.
