I had mini-video cassette tapes from 20 years ago featuring interviews with family members who've passed away. I found Retro Digital through a Google search and Matt converted the tapes. Now my extended family can see recovered footage of loved ones they lost. Matt provided an invaluable service, and did it quickly while being available for any questions I had. My family and I Thank You, Matt!!

Acquired nearly 20 camcorder tapes from my late grandmother and wanted to have the footage digitized. Matt was very professional, responsive and attentive to the priceless footage. Gave me several options for saving the files and worked very quick considering how many tapes were provided. I would use Matt again for any services related to audio/video conversions.

I had Matt convert 30 VCR tapes to a digital hard drive. He did a fantastic job of preserving our family's memories from the last 45–50 years! He is truly an expert at memory preservation. Matt is professional, stays in touch, charges reasonable rates, and delivers as promised. You will not be sorry if you hire him to preserve your special moments!

Matt was very professional and extremely easy to work with. He transferred 4 VHS tapes we hadn't seen in 20+ years to a flash drive. We were extremely satisfied with the quality. The turnaround was quick — digital copy within a week. Our family is extremely satisfied and definitely recommend Retro Digital.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Common questions from first-time customers.

What formats do you convert?

VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, Video8, Digital8, MiniDV, home-recorded DVDs, 8mm & Super 8 film reels, and CD/cassette audio. We only digitize personal, non-copyrighted content.

What do I receive when it's done?

MP4 files delivered via USB drive, external hard drive, or cloud (Google Drive / OneDrive), with clear file labeling based on your tape labels or assigned numbering.

How long does it take?

Orders are completed in the order received. Most are done within the same week, depending on tape quantity and current order volume. Expedited turnaround is available for an additional fee when scheduling allows.

Do you offer pickup and drop-off?

Yes — drop-off is available by appointment at our private studio in Austin (78741). Door pickup and return delivery is available for Austin and surrounding areas for an additional fee based on distance.

Can I ship if I'm not in Austin?

Absolutely. We accept nationwide shipping. Tracking information is required both ways, and clients are responsible for shipping costs to and from.

Can you fix damaged or broken tapes?

Often, yes. We offer tape splicing repair for broken tapes at $10 — and you're only charged if the repair is successful. If a tape can't be repaired, there's no fee.

How are my files labeled?

Files are labeled based on whatever is written on your tapes. If tapes are unlabeled, we assign matching numbers to both the tape and the digital file so everything stays organized.

Is my content kept private?

100%. Your tapes and files are handled privately from start to finish and are never shared. We treat your memories with the same care we'd want for our own.
