From the atticto the TV.

Prices are flat and per item. Tapes and discs are priced per piece no matter how long they run, film by the foot, and photos and slides per image. There are no volume tiers and no surprise charges.

Call, text or use the form below. We'll talk over what you have and send you an estimate.

Two to three weeks from pickup. For Christmas, have your order in by December 5. Rush service in under a week is available for an added charge.

Your originals, plus a USB flash drive with everything on it. The drives we use have both a standard USB plug and a USB-C plug, so they work with computers, newer phones and tablets, and most smart TVs.

Video comes as MP4 files. Photos and slides come as JPEGs, with TIFF available on request. Extra drives for family members are available.

Every order also comes with a private download link, good for 60 days, so family members near and far can download their own copies. It works best on a computer.

Yes. Videos are standard MP4 files and photos are JPEGs, so they open in the photo and video apps on phones, tablets and computers. Trim them, share them, post them, or make copies for the whole family. There's no copy protection.

Yes, two ways. Your videos are standard MP4 files, so you can pause on any moment and take a screenshot on your phone or computer.

Or tell us the moments you love, and we'll pull those frames for you, clean up the dust and scratches, correct the color, and send them back as JPG files, ready to print or share. Home movie frames are small, so they look best at snapshot size or on a screen. Ask for a quote.

Snapped tapes and broken shells can usually be repaired, though a few seconds at the splice may be lost. Moldy tapes need special handling, so we quote those separately. Either way, we show you the problem before doing any extra work, and if nothing can be recovered, there's no charge.

Usually, yes. Home movie film from the 1940s through the 1970s often holds up remarkably well when it's been kept in the house. The warning signs are a vinegar smell, film that has curled or turned brittle, and white or fuzzy spots of mold.

Even then, most film can still be transferred, and faded or reddish color can usually be brought back a long way. Film doesn't improve with age, so sooner is better. We inspect every reel before you're quoted, and you're never charged for anything that can't be recovered.

Yes, for scanning. Small reels are joined onto one larger reel so the film runs through the scanner in one smooth pass, instead of stopping to thread each little reel.

When the scan is done, we separate them again and put each one back on its own reel, in its original box, with fresh leader added to protect the film and make it easier to thread next time. Every reel is labeled from the day we pick it up, so each one goes back where it came from, and each one comes back to you as its own video file.

Please don't. An old projector can scratch or tear film that has sat for decades, and a VCR that hasn't run in years can chew up a tape. Bring everything as it is. We check every item on equipment we keep cleaned and maintained, and we'll tell you what's on it.

No. If a tape turns out to be blank, or has less than two minutes on it, there's no charge for it.

Your 20th tape or 100th photo takes as long as the first and gets the same care, so prices and quality are consistent for everyone. Every price already includes film cleaning, color correction and file names that make sense. More importantly, your originals are handled by one person and never shipped anywhere.

We know how irreplaceable your originals are, so we'd rather plan how they travel than leave it to chance. If you're outside our free pickup area around Chautauqua Lake, call or text (716) 281-0005 and we'll talk through the safest way to get them to us.

That's normal. Text us a photo of a tape, reel or slide box at (716) 281-0005 and we'll tell you what it is and what it takes to transfer.
