What you can expect from us.

Your memories are irreplaceable - this is how we’ll take care of them

We only use professional-grade equipment, which we keep well maintained, to get the best possible quality from your tapes.
Each tape goes through a careful process: we inspect it first and make any needed repairs. For VHS and VHS-C tapes with mould, we clean them before transfer. After the initial transfer, we check the quality. If there are any issues, we'll transfer the tape again using different machines and settings, choosing the best version for your digital files.
Our success rate speaks for itself - around 95% of tapes are digitised with good picture quality, and over 99% of tapes are successfully transferred regardless of their condition.

Edinburgh's Favourite VHS to Digital Converter

There’s nothing quite like sitting down to watch old home videos with family. From childhood holidays up in the Highlands, to birthdays and graduations, or reliving a wedding with Edinburgh Castle in the background, these tapes capture moments that deserve to be kept alive.

The problem is that VHS players are now few and far between, and the tapes themselves are fragile. Scotland’s damp climate and shifting seasons only make things worse, causing your precious recordings to deteriorate over time.

Converting VHS to DVD to USB is the most reliable way to safeguard your memories. DVDs and USB drives are tough, easy to store, and work with modern players. That means you can relive your favourite moments with clear sound and picture, whether you’re at home in Edinburgh or sharing them with family across Scotland.

At Digital Converters, we’ve transferred hundreds of thousands of hours of video. With professional equipment and a team of skilled technicians, we know how to bring ageing tapes back to life and preserve them with care.

Getting started couldn’t be simpler. Place your order online, post us your tapes, and we’ll handle everything else. Your recordings are treated with the greatest care and returned ready to enjoy with friends and family across Edinburgh and beyond. Keep your past alive and ready to share for generations to come.

FAQs

Q. Where can I convert VHS to digital in Edinburgh?

We'll take care of the rest and return your precious memories in a secure digital format, fully tracked, again free of charge.
Q. Should I consider converting my VHS tapes to digital?
Absolutely! VHS tapes degrade over time, and VCR players are becoming increasingly scarce. Converting your tapes to digital ensures you can enjoy your precious memories for years to come. Digital Converters' Edinburgh service offers a convenient and reliable solution, saving you the hassle and potential risks of DIY conversion.
Q. What are the drawbacks of converting VHS tapes to digital myself?
While Edinburgh has a wealth of tech stores, acquiring the necessary equipment for DIY conversion can be expensive. A VHS player, capture device, and video editing software are essential, and using outdated equipment can damage your irreplaceable tapes. The conversion process itself can be time-consuming and technically challenging, and achieving high-quality results requires specialist skills and knowledge.
Q. How long does your VHS to digital conversion service take in Edinburgh?
The turnaround time depends on the number and length of your tapes, but we can normally get your conversions and original tapes back to you in Edinburgh within 7 days of receiving them. Digital Converters prioritises speed while maintaining the highest quality, and we use one of the UK’s best reviewed courier services to collect and return your tapes via tracked post.
Q. What can I do with my VHS tapes once they're digitised?
The possibilities are truly endless! Share your digital files with friends and family across Edinburgh, the UK, or even the world via social media. Store them securely on your computer or external hard drive for safekeeping. If you selected DVD, you can watch them on any DVD player, computer or even car equipped with a DVD player. If you went with USB, you can usually play them with any computer, most modern TVs and even some cars. If you selected digital files (our Cloud option), you can stream your converted videos from our servers, or download them to your phone or computer to watch on those devices, or to send to friends and family. With your memories in digital format, the options are limitless!
Q. Can Digital Converters' service handle damaged VHS tapes in Edinburgh?
We understand that some VHS tapes might be worn, mouldy, or even slightly damaged due to age or storage conditions. The good news is that in many cases, we can still salvage them! Our team has extensive experience handling a variety of tape conditions. While we can't guarantee miracles, we'll use our expertise and advanced equipment to recover the best possible digital copy of your precious memories.
Q. How much does VHS to digital conversion cost in Edinburgh?
The price depends on the number of tapes you have and the digital format you choose. Digital Converters offers competitive rates and transparent pricing, so you'll know exactly what to expect upfront. For example, 1 VHS tape costs £14.99 to convert to digital, and then the USB to put them on is £8.00, DVD is £4.00, and digital Cloud storage is again £8.00. We offer bulk discount too! Use the options above to see how much it will cost for multiple tapes, or if you have a more unusual order, contact us today for a free quote – we're happy to discuss your specific needs and provide a tailored estimate.
Q. Can Digital Converters' service convert VHS-C tapes in Edinburgh as well?
Absolutely! VHS-C tapes, the smaller VHS format often used in camcorders, are no problem for us. Our Edinburgh conversion service works just as effectively for both VHS and VHS-C tapes, ensuring all your precious memories are preserved in a safe and accessible digital format.
Q. Do I need to rewind my tapes before using your VHS to digital conversion service?
There's no need to rewind your tapes before sending them to us. Our conversion service takes care of everything! Simply pop your tapes in a bag or box and our courier will collect them from your Edinburgh address. We'll handle rewinding and prepping them for the conversion process.
Q. What if I have a massive collection of VHS tapes?
Don't worry – we're happy to tackle large collections of VHS tapes! In fact, we offer special discounts for bulk conversions. Whether you have a box full of childhood memories or a lifetime of home movies, Digital Converters' Edinburgh service can handle it all efficiently and securely.
Q. Can you convert other video formats besides VHS tapes?
Yes - our expertise goes beyond just VHS tapes! We can convert a wide range of video formats to digital for our Edinburgh customers, including Hi8 tapes used in camcorders and MiniDV tapes often found in digital video cameras. So, no matter what format your precious memories are stored in, Digital Converters' service can help you breathe new life into them.
Q. I have some VHS tapes with sentimental value. Can you guarantee the safety of my tapes during conversion?
Whether it’s recordings of your wedding day at the Old Fruitmarket, or some home video you took at Ibrox in the 90’s, we understand the irreplaceable value of your VHS tapes. That's why Digital Converters prioritises the security of your media throughout the conversion process. We use state-of-the-art equipment and employ careful handling procedures to ensure your tapes are never damaged, and are always safely returned to you in Edinburgh via tracked courier post.
Q. What happens to my original VHS tapes after they're digitised?
The choice is entirely yours! Once your VHS tapes are converted to digital files, we automatically return them to you in Edinburgh along with your digital copies. Alternatively, if you'd prefer to save space, we can securely dispose of them at your request.
Q. I'm not very tech-savvy. Can Digital Converters' service help me access my digitised VHS tapes?
Absolutely! Our conversion service is designed to be user-friendly, regardless of your technical expertise. We provide clear instructions on how to store and access your digital files, and we're always happy to answer any questions you might have. We want to ensure a smooth transition from VHS tapes to a digital format that's easy for you to enjoy.
