The video
tape has snapped,
torn or pulled out of the
spool.
We can re-join / splice the broken videotape together or re-attach it to the spool,
when the repair has been completed we convert the video on the tape to a digital file and then transfer it to a DVD.
Please note that due to the way the picture on the videotape is recorded there may be a some interference displayed on the DVD at the point the videotape is joined. if the tape has been spliced we recommend that it is not played in a domestic video player or camcorder as this may damage the machine (the tape will be labelled with a warning as appropriate)

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
