Preserve Your Memories Forever

Does your family have a collection of old movie reels, home videos, or cassettes lying around? Videos of your babies first steps, your first hit in little league, or your siblings attempt at thinking they are a movie star? Your cherished memories are priceless, but the formats they're stored in may not stand the test of time. At Dodge-Chrome, we specialize in preserving those moments by offering top-tier video and audio transfer services. Let us help you breathe new life into your old videos and ensure they last for generations to come.

We also can convert the files into an MP4 and transfer them to a provided USB or a Dodge-Chrome branded drive. Our highly qualified professionals take pride in immortalizing your precious videos and audio so that it can easily be viewed for years to come.


Why transfer my tapes now?

Old tapes, like many analog media formats, can deteriorate over time and face several issues that impact the quality and longevity of the content they contain. A lot of these formats use magnetic tape to store video and audio information. Over time, this tape can degrade, leading to a loss of video and audio quality. They also are prone to mold when stored in damp or humid conditions (like basements and attics). Lastly, it is getting harder and harder to find working players that actually make these formats usable.

What about film?

Just like magnetic tapes, film has aging issues as well. Film is typically made of organic materials that can degrade over time. The film base can become brittle, shrink, or develop cracks, which may lead to breaks or tears in the film. Another "fun" thing with film is that some film stocks, particularly acetate-based films, can develop a condition known as "vinegar syndrome." This results in a vinegar-like odor and causes the film to become brittle and deteriorate rapidly, and trust us, you'll know when it happens.
