When the repair has been completed we convert the rescued video to a digital file and then transfer it to a DVD.

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
carry out the repair, re-assemble the video tape cassette 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 |

Mould and Damp 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.
We can rescue the recording from most Mould
contaminated VHS and analogue Camcorder tapes 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 replacement cassette housing with a new set of mechanical parts
i.e. brakes, guide rollers etc. Once the tape
has be made operational, the recording will be rescued (captured to a
digital file and transferred to a DVD for you).
Mould
contamination usually indicates the presents of moisture, in some cases tapes showing signs
of mould may also have other more serious problems: tape ribbon contamination, deterioration due to moisture being
adsorbed by the tape, tape welding etc
