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.

We do not have the time to sit there and watch every minute of your movies, but we do scan through quickly and remove blank areas where possible.

It is up to you to test your video files as soon as possible, as our storage is our and your temporary backup just in case there happens to be any issues.

What my clients are saying about my work

Please email us your feedback: atozvisual@gmail.com

I had 10 mini cassettes of my children and family when they were little that needed to be transferred onto a USB stick. These cassettes contained precious memories and I was a little worried I’d loose them.

David was very good and easy to communicate with via email, he put them all on one USB so it was easy to just plug the USB into the TV and watch them all plus he made a spare copy as well.

I am very thankful to David as we can now watch our cherished memories together with our grown up children. 14-Nov-2024

Soroptimist International Albany worked with David over several years to produce 4 films for our Multi-Sensory Time project for those living with Dementia. David's contribution was vital to the success of the project. His experience and knowledge of filming and editing to achieve a particular result was invaluable. David was wonderful work with and we have a range of excellent quality films.

Thank you David and AtoZVisual! 12-Nov-2024

Carol CT (Albany)

Member of Soroptimist International Albany

AtoZ Visual was my first choice when I found I had some VHS and audio tapes that I wanted to

convert for a Mothers Day gift.

David went above and beyond, identifying a background noise on the tapes that he then fixed.

He also edited relevant parts from the video so it wasn't a 3 hour long singular clip for me to deal with.

I did not expect that level of care.

It was beautiful to be able to listen to and watch the old tapes.

David's communication was excellent and the turnaround time was fast.

This is a man and a company that you can trust. 15-Nov-2024

I’ve dealt with David Belfield of A to Z Visual Video Conversions many times over the years. He transferred my precious 50yr old Super8 movies, videos cassettes and DVD discs to USBs so I can actually watch them now.

I’ve been more than happy with his professional manner and work. Would definitely recommend him. 15-Nov-2024

I have a 15 year old camcorder and was missing cords, had no software for it and Panasonic told me it would be impossible to extract my very precious videos off the hard drive. David had it done and transferred to usb and available for pick up within 1.5 hours of dropping it off! Highly recommend this service. 23-Jan-2024

David converted our much loved family memories from an old & fragile VCR tape to a thumb drive , Amazing ! We are so happy with the quality Thank you David 16-Nov-2024

David did a brilliant job for me.  I had recordings of early life memories on tape, which were fine to play until one day the tape started being "chewed up".  David was recommended.

He communicated immediately and I am so happy with the outcome. Now I have a permanent record that will last. 15-Nov-2024

David is professional with his setup. He makes sure your valued video memories are safe and easier to watch to relive your past. I’m so glad I did my old video tapes getting them converted to DVD. 14-Nov-2024

David transferred our old VHS tapes onto CDs for us earlier this year and we are now able to enjoy watching them. As we all know they are useless to us sitting in the cupboard taking up space. 19-Nov-2024

Amazing work on my old videos transferred to disk, good price and great service. 13-Nov-2024

Alan W (Albany)

If you are looking for a good video conversion I would highly recommend David at Atoz. They will go that extra mile to ensure the best outcome and in my experience the service is professional, prompt and most of all trustworthy with precious footage. 10/10 in my rating. 19-Jan-2024

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.
