What Happens to Your Tapes After They’re Digitized? (Spoiler: Nothing Bad!)

 At VHS Moments, we know how it feels to hand over your irreplaceable memories. Those dusty VHS tapes and delicate 8mm reels aren’t just old media—they’re time capsules of your life’s most precious moments. You’ve trusted them to survive decades, and now you’re trusting us to preserve them. Rest assured, we take that responsibility seriously. Here’s exactly what happens to your tapes after you send them to us—and why choosing VHS Moments ensures your memories stay safe, private, and in the best hands possible.

“Will My Tapes Get Damaged?” Your Media Is in Expert Hands

The fear of damaged tapes is real. After all, these relics are fragile, and not all digitization services are created equal. At VHS Moments, we’ve built our process around one principle: Your memories deserve the utmost care.

Here’s how we protect your tapes:
1️⃣ Climate-Controlled Handling
Your tapes arrive in our secure facility where temperature and humidity are carefully regulated. No garages, no basements—just a professional environment designed to protect aging media.

2️⃣ Professional-Grade Equipment
We use specialized, industry-leading players and scanners. Our equipment is meticulously maintained to handle warped tapes, sticky reels, and brittle film without causing harm.

3️⃣ Damage Prevention First
Before hitting “play,” our technicians inspect and gently clean each tape or reel. If we spot mold, warping, or other issues, we use non-invasive techniques to stabilize your media and ensure a smooth transfer.

Why DIY or Cheap Services Risk Your Memories
DIY transfers often lead to chewed tapes, blurry results, or even permanent damage from improper handling. Cheap services might cut corners with outdated equipment. With VHS Moments, you’re paying for expertise that safeguards your originals—and your peace of mind.

“Who Else Sees My Videos?” Privacy Is Non-Negotiable

We understand your hesitation: “What if someone watches our family’s private moments?” At VHS Moments, privacy isn’t just a policy—it’s a promise.

Our Privacy Guarantee:
🔒 Zero Unauthorized Viewing
Our team handles your tapes with discretion. We only view footage if you ask us to edit highlights or compile clips. Otherwise, your memories stay private—no exceptions.

🔒 No Third Parties, Ever

Your tapes and digital files never leave our facility. We don’t share, sell, or use your content for any purpose—period.

“Can I Get My Originals Back?” You’re in Control

Some services keep or discard originals without asking. Not us. You decide what happens to your tapes:

✅ Returned Safely
We ship your originals back to you in protective packaging at no extra cost. Many clients keep them as nostalgic keepsakes.

✅ Secure Recycling (Your Choice)
If you’d rather not keep physical tapes, we’ll recycle them responsibly—after confirming your permission.
