Thinking about transferring your audio reel to reel? We can transfer to CD and/or DVA - the Digital Video Archive Cloud. We specialize in this service and are glad you’ve chosen to investigate getting this done professionally for a few reasons: First of all durable professional media is important and we use only Gold Archival CDs, which are scratch proof and rated to last 100 years. Second, transferring old audio reel to reels can be a bit tricky. There is no way to know want is on the tapes without listening to them or transferring them, and most people lack the technology and/or the expertise to even play them back!

It’s our business to transfer old audio to a format you can use and that is archival in quality. We’ve found that many of these old audio tapes are gems! Imagine hearing your mother sing, or your parents exchanging “talking letters.” Maybe your tapes contain family gatherings or other types of personal programs.

The pricing is as follows: We charge $79.95 for a regular straight transfer per Audio CD that is filled up by your audio content. Even one of the small three inch reels can hold several hours of audio so we will not know how many CDs that your audio will need, thus we probably won’t know the exact cost of your audio transfer project until after we have finished it. The exception to this is if you know the length of your reel or reels. So for a regular transfer to CD we charge $79.95 per filled-up CD.

Now you may want to consider a “sweetened” or “enhanced” transfer. We highly suggest this. Most people want the highest fidelity and quality they can get in order to really hear the audio clearly, but one of the realities of audio reel to reel transfer is that the audio was recorded with technology from the 1950’s and ’60’s. The price for this is $125.00 per filled-up CD. Most people love the results of this enhancement and feel it was worth the investment.

One last thing. We can also transfer your audio program to DVA - the Digital Video Archive Cloud –where you can access it with your personal account at www.DigitalVideoArchive.com. Once it’s an audio DVA you can instantly share it with anyone on the planet. Many of our customers opt for this, and many get both Archival CDs and DVAs. For transfer to DVA please add $19.95 for every 72 minutes of audio.

We do offer free pick-up and delivery service or you may bring your tapes to us. We are open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays 10 to 2 pm.

Transferring Audio Cassettes and Quarter Inch Tape to CD & Digital Files

Do you have audio cassettes from the 1970's? Maybe you have quarter inch audiotape on reels from the 1950's and 1960's. You may even have audio on wire reels from the 1930's & 40's. Good news! Home Video Studio's HomeMovieTransfer.com transfers all three of these audio formats to Gold Archival CDs.

All of these aged audio formats are delicate so we treat them with tender loving care. Here's the thing: most of our customers don't even know what is on their audiotape. You may have a pretty good idea - like "Grandpa talking from the battlefields of WWII" or "Mom singing a country and western song" but you may be unsure of the subject, the quality and the length of the recording. The only thing you are sure of is that these audio programs are precious. That's where we come in!

We'll take your tapes, cassettes and old wire recordings directly into our recording studio for an archival playback. Many times we have to nurse these old tapes along, but we are dedicated to you and your precious memories and we care about getting your audio programs transferred in the best way possible.

Here's what you'll get with our audio transfer process:

TLC - We'll handle your audio with the greatest care.

The World is Changing... Change Your Old Video!

Leading up to the Summer Olympics, exes at NBC Universal thought that the ratings for the 2016 completion would outstrip London from four years ago. After the opening ceremony, they started to become worried. In fact as it turned out viewer across all platforms were down 9%. Even worse… much worse… the Nielsen TV ratings revealed a dim, grim and even grimmer tale. Viewers for the August 5^th Open ceremonies were down 28%.

One of the bright spots from this year’s Olympics was streaming video – digital content delivery. Ten percent of NBCU’s ad revenue for Rio came from digital. No doubt viewership patterns will continue to change with the next Olympics.

Note that no one watched the Olympics on a DVD or a thumb drive. I still love TV and I love my DVD business but what I am truly excited about is our DVA business that we are building all over Indianapolis and surrounding areas. Of course, speaking as the CEO of Digital Video Archive… the worldwide business we are building with DVA is what is exciting. Our latest country for us to branch out into is Australia. 

People want to view their personal video in the same way they connect with everybody else now – on their mobile devices. 

Gather up your old movies, tapes and DVDs and find a DVA Authorized Rep to assist you in the professional conversion and upload to your new Digital Video Archive account.

As you may know... June 14, 1991 was the day that I decided to change my life. I was thirty-five years old. Technically I was an out-of-work Producer/Director/Editor. I was broke. Denise was working full-time as an RN to support our family. We had a three-year old and a six-year old. (Nicole and Aaron) I was a stay-at-home Dad. 

I was ready for a life-change – a game changer as they say. I felt like I was on the verge  something... As May turned into June that year, I felt a growing sense of destiny which was closely followed by a shadow of despair.  As I like to say now (it is easier to say now!) at that time in my life... "I was a “wandering generality.”

June 14, 1991 was a Red Letter Day for me. 

On June, 14th, 1991, I made a decision that would pay off for me personally and financially that year. Eventually that decision would blossom into the Home Video Studio opportunity. The opportunity that many have taken over the years. 

Basically I made a decision to move forward on that day. Before June 14th, 1991, I was allowing myself to be pulled in several directions and going nowhere. After, June 14th, I was totally focused. I had a purpose!   

That purpose has grown into the Home Video Studio Family, the studios, the Getaways, the Advanced Trainings, The Great American Home Movie and Digital Video Archive. I truly value the friendships that Denise and I have made over the years with our studio owners - you - and of course the journey we have been on. It is always the journey right... the destination keeps on moving.

I have taken some incredible risks over the years, had a lot of successes and made a few mistakes as well. Always with me has been that purpose that I found 25 years ago.

It's good to remember the past and then move forward - ever forward. 

I truly love what I do and I appreciate all of you. Please join us for the next twelve months as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary!

Your DVDs are Fading Away!

DVDs were the state-of-the-art for more than ten years in the video and home movie transfer industry. But there's a new kid in town: The DVA (Digital Video Archive) – Video in the Cloud. It's like the "Changing of the Guard" – a watershed moment in history. Plus, you may have already found something out. There are a lot of devices that will not play a DVD! 

Your brand new Apple computer is one of them; plus your IPad, IPhone, Android tablet, smartphone, etc. Many new Windows

If you have DVDs of your family (or of personal content) from the past five to ten years, beware: your memories are in danger of vanishing! It may already be too late. Of all the old media that we transfer, believe it or not, the DVDs are the most perishable. Here's why: 

Most DVDs are not archival. When Home Video Studio transfers video to a DVD we always use Platinum Archival DVDs. Most other companies do not. In fact many just use plain old store-bought DVDs. Worse yet, they may have used "consumer" encoding and not Professional Encoding. Even worse, perhaps you or a friend "burned" your DVDs on a home computer. This might have made sense at the time but your images are now in jeopardy of being lost. Those old DVDs are degrading quickly. It's time to transfer to a DVA – Digital Video Archive – Video in the Cloud! 

We'll Transfer Your Old DVDs to DVAs! Watch on your Computer, Smartphone, Tablet & Smart TV!

Call Home Video Studio for your DVA Transfers!

It's fun and easy! Once we have transferred your content to your new DVAs, you'll receive access to your new Digital Video Archive account. With your new DVA account, you can view, edit, share and modify your movies and videos. You'll want to invite your friends and family as Viewers so you can share your video with them. This will give them access to the DVAs you would like for them to see and enjoy. You can also grant ("gift") DVAs to them. Every DVA has smart chapter markers with thumbnail images, just like the old DVDs, so you and your viewers will be able to fully experience each DVA. 

Here's a great bonus! With your new Digital Video Archive account you can immediately begin uploading your own personal videos from your smartphone or computer. You'll be able share these videos with your friends and family as well. Plus, your friends and family will receive free DVA accounts and can begin uploading their videos too. Soon you'll have new DVAs from them to watch as well! 

Upload your smart phone video to your Digital Video Archive account!
