Archival Video Digitization for Valuable Decaying Recordings

At Digitize Archives, we know that every video preservation project at the archival level is unique. Whether yours is a small or a large-scale job, we will provide you with a detailed proposal and estimate based on your specifications and needs. We will work closely with you every step of the way to make the process as easy and obstacle-free as possible.

Our team of skilled technicians will ensure that all videographic materials are handled with care, following industry standards for preservation and digital access. Throughout the project, we will implement quality control measures to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the digitized material. We will provide ongoing support to address any technical issues that may arise. Furthermore, to facilitate your institution’s objectives for accessibility and digital asset management, we will organize and prepare all digitized video files for seamless integration into your digital systems. Our goal is to ensure that the outcome meets and even exceeds your expectations.

 

Our Video Digitization Process

Preserving your video recordings for history requires meticulous care and attention to detail, as follows:

  1. Log and Tag: We log your videos into our system and tag them to ensure they are uniquely identified as yours.
  2. Inspection: We inspect the tapes for condition, checking for issues such as humidity damage, mold, and “sticky” tape.
  3. Tape Timing Estimate: We calculate the runtime of your videotapes to provide a pricing estimate based on duration and any additional services required, such as cleaning and repairs
  4. Custom File Naming: File naming is done according to your specifications.
  5. Metadata: Metadata details can be added for an additional charge based on the time required.
  6. User-Friendly MP4 File
  7. File Formats: Using hardware, we digitize to 1920x1080P H.264 MP4 or MOV 30fps or 60 fps files.
  8. Storage Media Options: Professional external hard drives and archival gold DVDs with sleeves are available for long-term storage.
