MIXED VIDEO FORMATS
Have a box of different camcorder tapes? You don't need separate services.
CMDigital helps families convert mixed video tape collections through one mail-in service. VHS, VHS-C, Video8, Hi8, MiniDV and Digital8 can all be part of the same preservation project when supported by the order.
YOUR DIGITAL VAULT
Your memories don't end when the tapes come back.
Watch your finished videos online, download your files and keep your digital memories accessible from your CMDigital account. Your movies and files are yours to keep.
CMDIGITAL
Your family collection probably wasn't recorded on just one format.
One box can contain a full-size VHS tape from one decade, compact VHS-C tapes from a camcorder, Hi8 recordings from another camera and MiniDV tapes from later years. You shouldn't have to become a format expert just to preserve them.
CMDigital's mixed-format approach is built around the collection you actually have. Identify the supported media, include it in your order and let the transfer process handle the format differences.
- VHS and VHS-C
- Video8 and Hi8
- MiniDV and Digital8
