Parole, Maryland
VHS to digital.
For Parole.
A practical next step for a box of family tapes.
Your collection / Your next step
A new chapter
for old recordings.
Not sure where to begin with an old collection? Parole customers can contact Ed with a rough count and the words printed on the cassette labels. You do not need to know every technical detail.
Ask about VHS, VHS-C, Video8, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, and other media. Exact format compatibility, condition, pricing, and delivery are confirmed for your project.
Serving Parole as part of Anne Arundel County. This is a service-area page, not a claim of a separate Parole office. Arrange the handoff with Ed before visiting or mailing anything.
A useful place to begin
Keep uncertainty in your notes.
Mark unidentified tapes as unknown. A clear question is more helpful than guessing a format or promising a particular recording is on the tape.
What to include in your inquiry
Your tape formats, approximate quantity, known condition issues, and how you want to use the copies. Mention Parole so Ed can discuss arrangements for your location.

first replay.
How much does a transfer cost?
Ask Ed for a quote based on the media format, quantity, recorded length where known, condition, and requested output. Pricing and any additional work should be agreed before your project begins.
What will I receive?
Discuss digital file format and delivery with Ed when planning your project. Tell him how you want to watch or share the results so compatibility, storage media, and any copying options can be confirmed.
How do I arrange drop-off or mailing?
Call (202) 657-2225 or use the contact form to arrange the handoff. Confirm the location, packaging, and return plan with Ed first. Do not travel to a presumed storefront or mail irreplaceable recordings without confirmed instructions.
