Something
different?

Betamax, audio, discs, film, or an unidentified format? Ask Ed to confirm what’s possible.

BetamaxOther media

Please confirm your exact format with Ed. A format name alone does not guarantee that every recording standard or damaged tape can be handled.

What to ask about

The copy that
fits your life.

Digital files & copying

Tell Ed whether you want to watch on a computer, share with family, or discuss copies on physical media. Agree on the output format, storage requirements, and delivery method before the project begins.

Not sure what you have?

Look for the format name on the tape or case. Add any model numbers or label details to your inquiry. There is no need to risk a special tape in an unreliable player.

Honest expectations

A transfer cannot invent missing detail or guarantee recovery of every damaged recording. Any requested restoration, repair, or editing needs a separate discussion.

Your past is worth pressing play.
