8mm and Mini DV tapes to digital
If your family filmed with a camcorder between the late 1980s and the 2000s, your memories are probably on small 8mm or Mini DV tapes. Rewind transfers them to digital files by hand, at the same per-tape price as VHS.

Common questions
Something else on your mind? Call or text (615) 430-7396, or see all questions.
Are camcorder tapes and audio cassettes priced the same as VHS?
Yes. VHS, VHS-C, 8mm cartridge, Mini DV and audio cassette tapes all use the same per-tape price, and they all count toward your total tape count.
How much does it cost to convert VHS to digital?
One tape is $30. For two or more tapes, the price per tape drops as your order grows: $19 each for 2–24 tapes, $17 for 25–49, $15 for 50–74, $13 for 75–99 and $12 for 100 or more. Google Drive delivery and return shipping are included.
How long does VHS to digital conversion take?
Typical turnaround is 2–3 weeks, depending on how many items you send and the current project workload.
How will I get my digital files?
Your files are shared through a private Google Drive link. You can also order DVD copies or USB flash drives, which come back with your original tapes.
Can I mail my tapes from another state?
Yes. Rewind serves families in all 50 states. You pay to ship your tapes to Rewind with tracking, and Rewind pays to ship them back to you.
Do I get my original tapes back?
Yes. Your original tapes are always returned, along with any DVD or USB copies you ordered.
Your tapes are fading. Your memories don't have to.
