Digitising video tapes
Give your memories a second life
Do you still have stacks of VHS, VHS-C, Hi8 or MiniDV tapes lying around? Don’t let your memories fade away. Through Kamera Express, you can have your video tapes professionally converted into clear digital files with the help of MEDIAFIX. This way, you can easily relive your family stories, holidays and special moments once again.
Why should I digitise my video tapes?
Video tapes deteriorate quickly — images fade, colours disappear and sound becomes unstable.
Video recorders are rare and difficult to replace or repair.
Digital files can be viewed instantly on all your modern devices and are easy to share.
How does the digitisation request work?
We work together with MEDIAFIX, the European market leader and TÜV-certified, to ensure reliable and careful digitisation of your video tapes.

Frequently asked questions
You can have your video tapes digitised at Kamera Express. Visit one of the stores, pack your video tapes in a sturdy box, hand them in on location, and after a few weeks you will receive them back in digital form. No store nearby? No problem! You can also submit your request directly via the MEDIAFIX website and send your parcel by post.
Digitising your video tapes with Kamera Express usually takes 2 to 6 weeks. Do you need your digitised tape sooner? Then you can choose the priority or express service.
Video tape digitisation is available from €6.99. The costs depend on the number of video tapes and any additional services, such as the desired quality and storage medium. It becomes even easier when you choose one of the value packages.
You can digitise your video tapes yourself. For this you need a video recorder (for example a VHS player), a video capture adapter, a computer and suitable video software. However, to achieve the best results, it is recommended to use a professional digitisation service such as MEDIAFIX. At MEDIAFIX, your video tapes are digitised with high-quality equipment to the desired quality.
