All Audio/Video experts agree that it wise to have all your tapes and reels copied to another medium while it is still possible. Even recent digital media such as CDs, DVDs, USB sticks and portable hard drives have a limited shelf life. Blue Lizard Productions has the expertise and equipment to help you preserve your video material. For more information of our expertise see our “About” page and “Why Copy Now” page for more detailed information.

The table below is a guide price for the copying video and audio tapes up to a duration of 1 hour and encoded to either a MPG4 or a Pro Resolution HQ digital file. The prices are based on the video being dropped off and picked up from our studio with USB sticks and hard drives supplied by the customer if needed. For a more accurate quote please contact us.
Please note: Some tape players are more than 30 years old and are operational when last used but may need to be repaired before committing to a job.
