Price
The final one-tape cost.
This compares the total recorded cost of converting one VHS tape to one DVD and getting the order home—not simply the lowest number on a provider’s product page.
| Provider | Final all-in price |
|---|---|
| MediaFix | £17.98 |
| Digital ConvertersUs | £23.49 |
| Snappy Snaps | £25.00 |
| Tapes to Digital | £32.80 |
| Tesco Photo | £40.99 |
| Asda Photo | £40.99 |
| Max Spielmann | £40.99 |
| EachMoment | £59.98 |
For services that required customers to arrange outbound postage, the research used £5.90 for a Royal Mail 1st Class Signed small parcel. Where a store drop-off was available, the recorded return delivery charge was included. MediaFix was the lowest-cost result; Digital Converters was £5.51 more in this scenario.
Speed
Stated standard turnaround.
We recorded each provider’s normal estimate from its website or by phone. Paid express upgrades were excluded to keep the service tier comparable.
| Provider | Stated turnaround |
|---|---|
| Digital ConvertersUs | Within 7 working days |
| Tesco Photo | Within 7 working days |
| Asda Photo | Within 7 working days |
| Max Spielmann | Within 7 working days |
| Tapes to Digital | 7–14 days |
| Snappy Snaps | 2 weeks |
| MediaFix | Around 6 weeks |
| EachMoment | 8–9 weeks |
These were advertised or quoted estimates, not a guarantee of delivery on a particular date. Seasonal demand and the condition of a tape can affect any provider’s completion time.
Tape care
What happens when a tape needs help?
A low transfer price is less useful if a snapped cassette or mouldy tape triggers an unexpected fee—or cannot be handled at all.
Digital Converters includes repairs and VHS/VHS-C mould cleaning.
That can include splicing, rehousing and careful cleaning needed for stable playback.
| Provider | Policy recorded |
|---|---|
| Digital Converters | Repairs and mould cleaning included |
| EachMoment | Repairs and mould cleaning included |
| Tapes to Digital | Mould cleaning offered; repairs from £13 |
| MediaFix | Repairs £15; mould cleaning not offered |
| Snappy Snaps | Not stated in the research |
| Tesco Photo | Not stated in the research |
| Asda Photo | Not stated in the research |
| Max Spielmann | Not stated in the research |
Customer evidence
Review score and scale.

|---|---|---|
| Digital Converters | 4.9/5 | 12,302 |
| MediaFix | 4.7/5 | 443 |

Review scores and counts change continually. These values belong to the dated research snapshot and should not be read as live review widgets.

How to read this comparison.
A few useful details about the providers, the method and what the numbers do—and do not—mean.
Who was included in the comparison?
The research covered Digital Converters, MediaFix, Snappy Snaps, Tapes to Digital, Tesco Photo, Asda Photo, Max Spielmann and EachMoment. They were selected as prominent UK services available to customers looking for VHS-to-DVD conversion.
Why compare the final price rather than the headline price?
A headline transfer price can exclude the DVD, outbound postage, return delivery or mandatory packaging. We compared the amount a customer would need to spend to send one tape and receive one DVD plus their original tape back.
Why are Tesco Photo, Asda Photo and Max Spielmann separate?
Customers encounter them as separate brands, so they are shown separately. At the time of the research, the services used the Max Spielmann fulfilment network and had the same recorded price and stated turnaround.
Did Digital Converters rank conversion quality?
No definitive quality ranking is published here. A useful objective ranking would need a repeatable scoring method and evidence that readers could inspect. We have therefore limited the conclusions to documented price, stated turnaround, care policies and review data.
Are these the prices I will pay today?
Not necessarily. This is a snapshot from Late February 2026, and providers can change prices, turnaround estimates and policies. Follow the source links below and request a current quote before ordering.
