Why digital memories matter

 

Old media

Digital memories

  • Creates clutter in your house that takes up room and feels messy.
  • Fits in the palm of your hand. You’re free to recycle your old media and thereby create space in your home.
  • Often can’t be watched or shared with anyone. The machines to play them are outdated and increasingly difficult to get. Plus, just trying to play some of your old media can cause damage and even loss to your memories.
  • Conveniently enjoyed on any digital device, such as smartphone, computer, or TV. Watch with loved ones anywhere and anytime. Share with who you want, wherever they are in the world, at the touch of a button! Now you can gather the family round to laugh and cry as you relive your most important memories.
  • Cannot protect your memories because they’re physical, old media is easily lost in household accidents such as fire or flood. They’re often the only copy of your most precious memories, so if they’re lost for any reason, those memories are gone forever.
  • Ultimate protection for your memories when they’re digital, you’re free to make unlimited backups of your memories. They can also be stored in the cloud. So whatever happens, your memories are always protected, ready to be passed down the generations. 
  • Actually puts your memories in danger  old media is actively deteriorating. As old media ages, it succumbs to fading, mould, and a host of other age-related issues. Memories trapped in old media will be lost if they’re not taken off it. Unfortunately, this is not a question of if but when.
  • Keeps your memories safe forever when they’re digital, your precious memories cannot degrade. They will look as good in a hundred years as they do on the day they’re digitised.

We could probably forgive old media for how clunky and inconvenient it is compared to newer technology. But we can’t take risks with our family’s memories or our own memories.

Memories are who we are.

The only way to ensure your memories stay safe, enjoyable, and sharable is to digitise them.

Old media such as video tapes, cine reels, and pictures have our most precious memories on them. They have our children growing up, loved ones when they were still around, the places we wish we could go back to.

But as time passes, we have to admit that old media begins to pose more and more of a danger to the memories that they’re supposed to protect.

  • Often can’t be watched or shared with anyone. The machines to play them are outdated and increasingly difficult to get. Plus, just trying to play some of your old media can cause damage and even loss to your memories.
  • Cannot protect your memories — because they’re physical, old media is easily lost in household accidents such as fire or flood. They’re often the only copy of your most precious memories, so if they’re lost for any reason, those memories are gone forever.

Beverley’s experience

This company are fantastic. They brought an old camcorder cassette back to life, and with it footage of my father who had recently died.

“It is an invaluable treasure and I cannot thank them enough. EachMoment were so kind and supportive in their communications.

The way the final pieces were presented — particularly the USBs in a box — meant that I could give them as gifts to other family members. Each Moment are skilful in what they do.

A gem of a company!

James’s experience

Honestly can’t rate EachMoment highly enough. We discovered VHS tapes that had been stored for decades and contained family memories”.

We thought the videos were completely ruined but decided to see what EachMoment could do. I was a little hesitant to send off the tapes but needn’t have worried as they provide full tracking details etc. to ensure safe delivery.

They managed to repair and restore our videos, which provide priceless memories to my brothers, sister, and myself. We can now see our parents who we lost at a young age.

“I think it’s possibly the best money I have spent in my lifetime. The memories we can now re-live and treasure for the rest of our lives is honestly priceless to us.”

Jan’s experience

“My family memories were covered in mould, even though we thought we had them safely stored. I was devastated, convinced that we’d lost our precious memories forever.

I trawled the web for someone to help and found EachMoment. They assured me that my items would be cleaned, repaired, and safely transferred.

As promised, we have our memories back and are enjoying slowly going through them with tears and laughter. The fact that we have them to enjoy for many years to come is overwhelming.

Our sincere thanks to EachMoment for an amazing job.”

Take a look at the ‘What We Convert’ list at the top. If you can’t see your media type on the list or if you’re not sure what it is – don’t worry; it’s incredibly rare we receive something we can’t convert to digital. If you’ve got something particularly obscure to send us, feel free to contact us or just send it in your Memory Box. We love a challenge & there’s no charge if we can’t convert it.

You don’t need the exact amount for each package size. We leave plenty of extra space in each Memory Box for extra items and count up and send an invoice for any extras when they arrive here at the lab. The cost of any additional items is on the product page for each Memory Box package. This means you can simply get a smaller package size and add any additional items to the package once your Memory Box arrives with you.

Really, really good. Amazing, in fact. We first pass your media through our cleaning & restoration department where we clean, repair and remove any build-up of dust & debris on a case by case basis. This cleaning process lessens any aged-based degradation of your media and is often responsible for the majority of the quality improvement. Once cleaned and return to its former glory, we use industry-grade scanning and recording equipment to obtain the best possible digital rendition of your old memories. All of our equipment is serviced bi-weekly and exclusively operated by trained experts. Finally, using software we developed in-house, we apply algorithms and processes to the digital files which brings them as close as possible to our high, modern standards.

If we receive media in bad condition, we’ll clean & repair it to the best of our ability. A lot of old media wasn’t designed to be stored for decades and can succumb to all manner of age related degradation; issues such as demagnetism, corruption, scratches, vinegar syndrome and mould can mean the quality will be poor,  especially by modern standards. Some of these issues we can mitigate using laboratory-grade cleaning equipment, some issues – such as demagnetism – are irreperable issues that can not be mitigated through cleaning & repair; these issues will only get worse with time. This is all the more reason to have your media digitised now to prevent any worsening of quality and further loss of precious memories.

You certainly can! We send a complete cataloguing system in your Memory Box that lets you tell us what to call all your new digital files and folders. If you don’t know what’s on your media, you can simply leave it blank and add your own names once you get your Memory Box back.

If you’re taking your filled Memory Box to a post office, please put it back in its protective postage box and put the sticky return label on the outside. If you’re having it collected, no need for the return label, just put the Memory Box back in the outer postage box and go to page 4 of your Welcome Guide for details on how to arrange doorstep collection.

Each memory stick contains the entire digital collection. You only need one memory stick for all the tapes, pictures, reels etc. you’re sending us; if you get multiple memory sticks, they will each contain a copy of the whole collection. Likewise, a DVD / CD set covers all the DVDs and CDs we need to make. Each tape, reel or cassette corresponds a CD / DVD, in its own jewel case, with the title you provided us printed onto it.

Any film photography – 35mm, medium format, negatives etc. are scanned at 3200 dots per inch (DPI). Any printed pictures are scanned at 1200 DPI. We first dust & clean each picture on a case by case basis to remove any debris that has built up over the years.

We send the originals, the new digital formats and a lab report back to you in your Memory Box.

We can digitise both audio and cine film reels of any diameter. Any audio or cine film reels that are 5″ or larger are charged as 2 items. We will send an invoice for this surcharge on completion of your order.

If your cine film has sound, please go to our specialist digitisations page to create a custom digitisation project, based on your requirements.

We can digitise audio on cine film sent in a Memory Box package, but we will contact you first to discuss the additional cost to do so.

The average turnaround time cross all our years of operation is 3-4 weeks, but this can vary. The amount of time to complete the order varies based on how much you send us and what condition the old media is in; we always make sure the digitisation quality is as good as can be! At any time, you can track the progress of your order and view which department it’s in using our status tracking portal.

For an up-to-date estimate on turnaround time, call or email us at the lab. If you need your items and memories back by a certain date, let us know. We will try our best to get them back to you by that date. If you want to guarantee they return to you by that date, ‘rush processing’ is an option at checkout that instantly moves your order to the front of our facility’s queue.

We convert your old memories to high quality MP4 video files. These digital videos are the most widely compatible both for watching and editing. You can just drag and drop your new digital videos into any video editing program to make your own edits.
