recapture time ~ recover your memories

Digital is the way to go

Since 2006, I have been converting various media formats to digital on various mediums. Old cine film, video recordings (commercial and home), sound in all formats, slides/pictures and so forth, and in recent years CD’s and DVD’s.

Whatever media you have, why not let me give you the pleasure of recapturing your memories.

Converting to digital format has many advantages such as, no further deterioration of your old material, reduction in storage of old material, flexibility in viewing video and listening to music and easier transportation, to mention a few.

I guarantee my work to your specification.
