How does it work ?
|
First the damaged video cassette is striped down, cleaned and inspected, damaged or worn parts are replaced or the video tape reels are removed and inserted into a new video cassette housing with a new set of parts i.e. guide rollers, reel brakes, etc. If the video tape has been snapped or twisted, a temporarily repair splice will be carried out. When the tape is operational your video recording is converted to a digital file and a standard video to DVD transfer will be completed for you. For additional security of your important recording the DVD will sent out to you first by 1st Class recorded delivery and your original video tape will be safely stored for you. Once you have received your DVD and confirmed with us that all is OK, we can then return your original video cassette or recycle /dispose of it locally for you, depending on your chosen option. When a videotape has been damaged and repaired we recommend that it is not played in a domestic videotape player or camcorder as this may cause damage to the machine (your original video cassette will be labelled with a warning as appropriate). |
|
|
What does the Video tape Rescue Service include ?
|
|
|
Your video tape is striped down cleaned and
inspected. Repair / rescue work is
carried out or the tape spools are
placed into a replacement cassette. |
|
|
Up to 2
hours of rescued recording is captured to a
digital file and transferred to
a high
quality
(UK PAL) DVD. |
|
|
Your DVD will be set up to start to play
automatically, so you do not have to find
the remote handset to play it. |
|
|
Chapter points are incorporated at
around 5 min
intervals, allowing you to be able to
jump forward or backwards easily.
|
|
|
The DVD is supplied in a full size DVD case
including an insert with your title
clearly printed on the front and
spine. |
|
|
Your DVD disc
is also printed with your title directly on the disc
( We don't use stick on labels )
|
|
|
Split
postage, for increased security of your special video
recordings,
we post out your DVD(s) first and it's only when we have
received confirmation that the DVDs have arrived safely
and all is OK, that we will either return your original
video tapes
or recycle / dispose of them locally for you, depending on the
option you have chosen. |
|
|
The turnaround time is normally
10 working days or less. |
How much does it cost
?
VHS Video or
Camcorder tape Rescue and Transfer to a DVD
cost just
£22
To ensure we achieve the highest quality we
normally transfer around 90 minutes to a DVD

for tapes with recordings longer than 2 hours we
recommend the recording is split over 2 DVDs
(double disc set)

The
cassette case is broken or has damaged or missing parts. |
|
The damaged video cassette is
striped down and inspected, broken, worn or missing parts are replaced or the
video tape is removed and placed into a new cassette housing with a new set of
mechanical parts i.e. brakes, guide rollers etc |
|

|
|
The video tape won't move, or the video cassette is ejected by the player. |
|
Inside the video cassette are several mechanical parts
including the cassette brake, this is like the parking brake on a car. It stops
the tape reels from spilling out the tape when the cassette is outside the
player or camcorder. Normally the cassette brake is automatically released when
the tape is put into the player / camcorder, however if it fails to release due
to faulty parts the tape will not move and in some players will automatically be
ejected and in other older players could cause the tape to snap.
We repair or replace the faulty parts, or the video tape is removed and placed
into a new cassette housing with a new set of mechanical parts i.e. brakes,
guide rollers etc.

|
The player won't
accept or rejects the video cassette |
|
If problems occur when you push the video cassette into the
tape slot on your video player i.e. it stops and is not accepted or the the
player rejects it pushing back out again. This is often caused by a slightly
bent or distorted cassette case. To fix this problem the videotape is removed
and placed into a new cassette housing with a new set of mechanical parts i.e.
brakes, guide rollers etc |

D.I.Y Attempted repair
! |
|
It looks quite simple and it is relatively easy to gain access to a video tape
cassette, usually by removing 4 or 5 small screws however it is not so easy to
re-assemble the tape and make it operational again. We have had many phone
conversation with customers who have found this out to their horror, if this has
happened to you then we can help, if possible remove any loose springs and other
mechanical parts that could damage the tape in transit and keep the tape spools
inside the cassette housing, or just send the spools very carefully pack so that
the tape does not become unwound or screwed up causing further damage. We have
replacement cassette housing including all the mechanical parts i.e. brakes,
tape guides, rollers, flaps, springs etc and can get your tape operational again
and transfer the recording to a DVD or DVDs |

The tape has suffered from Mould related problems
|
|
This
is becoming more of a problem, when video tapes have been stored for a long time they can be
contaminated by mould. If when looking trough the tape window a white powdery
substance or growth can be seen then the tape has been contaminated. we strongly
recommend that you do not play the tape as it could damage your recording
and contaminate your player and other tapes played on the machine.
If we receive the tape at the early stages of
contamination we can usually rescue the entire recording with our Video Tape
Rescue Service. The video cassette is striped down, cleaned and
inspected, damaged or contaminated parts are replaced or the video tape
reels are removed and inserted into a new video cassette housing. Once the tape
has be made operational, the recording will be rescued (captured to a
digital file and transferred to a DVD). more information

I accidentally dropped my video camera out of the 20th floor of an apartment
block and it smashed to pieces, of course. DVDedit expertly recovered the video
media from the MiniDV tape which was badly damaged from the fall and at an
unbelievably good price. This is a great service and I cannot recommend it
enough.

My vhs tape was 22 years old and all the family thought that it was past repair.
As this was the only copy we had in the family I sent my order off to DVD edit.
Within 3 days I had an e-mail confirming receipt and another 2 days later an
e-mail to confirm that my DVD was in the post. I was most impressed at the
response time and when the DVD arrived they had managed to transfer the tape -
which we all thought was no good - on to DVD with amazing results. Well done DVD
edit for your prompt response and handling of my very precious VHS tape. I would
reccommend them to anyone who has a VHS tape which they may think is past repair
to use their services.

I can honestly say that the speed of service and professionalism given by dvd
edit is second to none. Not only was my VHS tape fixed (which was of huge
relief) but the reassuring and consistent mannner in which I was dealt with was
fabulous. Thank you dvd edit for being a rare find of excellence in these busy
and poorly customer focussed times. If only every service company could be as
efficient! Thanks again - I will be back Alison
