Hi8 Video Transfer to DVD :: Costs and information

Hi8 Video Camcorder Tapes start at just £10 per Tape

We transfer all video camcorder formats to DVD including Hi8 camcorder tape. Hi8 video tapes can be up to 90 minutes in length. We advise customers to put no more than 2 hours of Hi8 tape on a DVD to maintain the quality. All of the Hi8 DVD transfer work is done onsite by trained technicians. This service is only available at our Kodak Express store in Camden, London - ensuring the quality of our Hi8 video to DVD transfer work and it also means that your precious Hi8 tapes cannot get lost.

An excellent mail order service is available for Hi8 DVD work. P/P is an additional 10%. We are part of the Kodak group of companies which is your assurance of excellent service, good quality work and peace of mind when ordering through the web.

Although DVDs last a lifetime without deterioration in quality one scratch or scuff mark will render it unplayable. For this reason we strongly advise you to order an extra DVD back up copy of your Digital8 Video work - the cost is only £5 per tape and well worth it for peace of mind.
