The Digital Transfer Process
If you have content on old formats you’d like to review, share, or archive, contact us, we’d love to help!
Just bring your materials to us, and we’ll take it from there. Video transfer Leeds offer a complimentary assessment to evaluate the condition and length of your content. We carefully inspect for any signs of deterioration and ensure that tapes and DVDs are in working order. Following this, we’ll provide you with a quote based on the quantity and duration of your materials, as well as the estimated time needed for the digital transfer process. If you require any editing, we’ll factor that in as well.
Once the process is complete, we’ll return your original materials to you for safekeeping. In addition, we’ll deliver digital files, typically on USB drives. With a simple click, you can easily view them on your laptop, play them on most modern smart televisions, save them for future audio-visual archives, and effortlessly share them with others.

Video & Audio Editing
Beyond simply transferring your old analog formats, we offer the expertise to edit your video and audio content, enhancing the material to deliver the ultimate viewing and listening experience at the highest quality.
It’s truly remarkable what we can achieve in terms of improving hissy, low-level audio or significantly enhancing low-resolution, grainy video, as well as audio, photographs or slides.
Mould & Tape Storage
Over time, older tape formats made of polypropylene (plastic) and metal tend to degrade. In some cases, they become unplayable within just a couple of decades. This deterioration happens even more rapidly when the tapes are stored in less-than-ideal conditions. To preserve these tapes, it’s best to store them upright in their original boxes, at room temperature, in a dry environment with low humidity, and away from sources of magnetism, such as loudspeakers or high voltage electricity.
Similarly, it’s important to handle CDs and DVDs with care. Store them in their original boxes, in a cool, dry, and relatively dark place. Contrary to their initial ‘indestructible’ marketing claims, the surfaces of these discs can be easily damaged, and they do degrade over time.
After we’ve transformed your video or audio content into digital files for better accessibility, you’ll have the option to share and view it more conveniently with others. Nevertheless, we recommend that you take the precaution of safely storing the original material as an extra backup for your historical collection.
Transfer & Editing Pricing
Depending on the particular format of your video, audio and photographic content, prices start as low as £29 for a half hour transfer. We also offer significant discounts on bulk requests so simply let us know what you have… and the durations if known; and we’ll work it all out for you.

“We approached Simon after discovering old reel-to-reels when my wife’s father passed away. After painstakingly working through them to find out what was there, Simon converted the sequences to audio files, giving us the gift of family archives to treasure. He treated everything with sensitivity as if they were his own family’s and communicated with us every step of the way – we would highly recommend Addictive Media.”

“Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Mine must have been the ‘video project from hell’… since I dumped a half finished mp4 on Simon with a long list of practically impossible requirements… including a ridiculously short deadline, improving the colour balance, masking out a logo, getting the sound back in sync the lips etc etc…. and Addictive Media exceeded my expectations in every single area. WOW!”
