Despite our name, video99.co.uk is also a leading audio transfers service, offering an exceptionally wide range of audio formats. We can run audio to CD, computer or minidisc, just let us know your requirements.

Reel to reel

Reel-to-reel audio domestic quarter track tapes, up to 7" spools at both 3.75 and 7.5 inch/second speeds at £18 per hour. Half track tapes can be run on this equipment too.

Minidisc

MD minidisc to CD including LP2 and LP4 at £12 per hour. Transfer to CD or computer can be carried out in a pure digital data stream for the best possible results.

Cassette

Cassette (Compact Cassette) to CD or computer (including Dolby B and Dolby C recordings) at £12 per hour, utilising a three-head dual capstan deck of outstanding performance.

Digital Compact Cassette DCC

Digital Compact Cassette DCC to CD or computer transfers now also available, starting at £12 per tape. DCC was a digital audio format marketed by Philips from 1994 to 1996. Despite excellent technical results, it was not a commercial success. Transfer to CD can be carried out in a pure digital data stream for the best possible results.

DAT (Digital Audio Tape)

DAT Digital Audio Tape (32kHz, 44kHz and 48kHz recordings). DAT to CD or computer at £15 per tape. Transfer to CD can be carried out in a pure digital data stream for the best possible results.

Microcassette and Mini Cassette

Microcassettes are usually used as dictation machine / answerphone tapes, I can run Microcassette to CD at both 1.2 and 2.4 speeds. I can also run Minicassette (Mini Cassette) to CD, usually these tapes are used in professional dictation equipment. Both cost just £12 per hour.

Microcassette and Minicassette tapes. Microcassette (left) and Minicassette (right) tapes are very similar and often confused.

Audio tracks from video tapes

Audio tracks from any kind of video cassette can be transferred to CD or computer file. This includes Hifi audio tracks from VHS, Betamax, V2000 and camcorder tapes of all types. Also FM sound tracks from BetacamSP studio tapes, and PCM digital audio recordings of the PCM-F1 format usually recorded on Betamax but may be any video cassette (very few transfer companies handle the PCM F1 format). Just email me with your requirements.

Ask email me details. Prices start from £12 per tape and extra copies at £3.50.

8-track tapes

8-track tapes were often sold as pre-recorded titles in the 1970's, but recorders also existed to allow recording onto blank tapes. I can run 8-track tapes in stereo, with and without Dolby B noise reduction to suit your recordings. Priced at £20 per tape.

What I don't do

I don't do vinyl to CD transfers and would would recommend Record Restorations who specialise in these. There are limitations on certain forms of studio recording on open reel tape, and I don't do all PCM video recording formats

TESTIMONIALS

Some previous testimonials for www.video99.co.uk audio transfers (more to follow)

"It was a relief to find someone who could pick out the bits of the tape that were worth recording for posterity and dumping the rest - and at a very reasonable cost. I've done this before and ended up with a CD that wasn't selective and cost me much more! Thanks again!

How to request an audio transfer.

To request an audio transfer, please email me with your requirements and include your postal address. Audio recordings require particular personal attention, just let me know of any requirements. Usually I transfer to CD but options include transfer to computer file, minidisc tape and more. We have a new and easy order page, just select what kind of tapes you have and supply your details.

Ideally can you ensure you send the tapes in a package which is sufficiently large and robust for me to use to send back your original tapes. Usually I will send the CDs to you ahead of returning your tapes, then when you've confirmed you are happy with the transfers, I will return your tapes. This way I can help you further if necessary - for example you can now see you want a different part of a tape transferred on its own or you want extra copies.

We do NOT run audio to a computer sound card because this is not the highest quality. Instead we always transfer to high quality digital audio equipment and take a digital transfer from there, to give you the very best sound quality.

Please read our Terms and Conditions, which form part of the agreement.
