Mouldy, Damaged or simply warn out
PLEASE don't leave it until your reels and cassettes are to old or end up mouldy.
Mouldy VHS cassettes could possibly be cleaned for converting for an extra $50 per cassette. There might not be a lot we can enhance if your cassettes, DVDs or 8mm film are damaged due age or wear and tear. We can cut out damage film and join, or replace cassette cases etc to recover some of the worst, but success can not be guaranteed.
Upscale from original Std 352x288p to 1280x720p resolution. The example here just proves that when the conversion is done, there is noticeable stretching or distortions to enlarge to 1280x720p and retaining aspect ratio. Best viewed on a large screen where you will see differences.
Some day we hope to be able to Ai enhance on the fly.

About me
I was born in Mt Barker November of 1963, left school near the age of 15 and I was brought up on my father and mothers cattle farm, until I was 18.
Worked on cattle, sheep and cropping farms for 8 years, before working as a Dairy Case & Freezer Manager at the Mount Barker Co-op Ltd for 6.5 years.
From the age of 12 I had an interest in Photography, starting with a Box Brownie. Videographer came a little later and I tended to enjoy shooting scenery mostly.
I learnt to be a bricklayer and ran my own business Ayse Brick Work from 1994 to 1998.
I had filmed and put to DVD of over 54 weddings to 1st March, 2014 (completing over 100 by 2021) and at least 17 Functions and Events etc since 2003, which was when it moved from being a hobby to becoming a business.
A major event was travelling to the other side of the world, South America in July of 2005, a long story.
I created hundreds of web pages and began learning so in 1996 also creating my own, which I initially wrote it with Note Pad. David was officially a computer technician from 1998 to 2010 working in my own business in Albany, dabbling in it from then on.
From late October to mid May each year I was the official Photographer of the Albany Racing Club since 2006, Mt Barker Turf Club since 2007 and Kojonup Race Meet once a year since 2012 and finished in 2017.
My work was evolving in many ways, however one of my main loves, was travelling to different shires and towns to explore and digitally capture all that was interesting about the areas. (Creating a Western Australia digital database of over 60 towns).
Life's not all about work though, it's all about going with the times, this type of work is more like fun getting plenty of time to relax too. I finally found my perfect for me soul mate, whom can follow my journey too and hers.
So in all that, as of around 2014 I have collected all the equipment required to convert all of your video media to digital mp4 files, recently moving to enhancing or as they say upscaling low resolution imagery for all clients.
We moved to Donnybrook late in 2022 and still produce conversion for Albany, but with added mail and pickup/drop orders.
I am a home based business so I do not give out my home address.
