"8mm to DVD" is a Mistake
Plastic discs are just another form of obsolete & fragile media. DVDs easily scratch, become unreadable, and are no longer used on modern computers. Don’t transfer your memories to a format that’s already outdated... future-proof 8mm video on Heirloom’s secure cloud!
Cloud Preservation
Heirloom labels your 8mm tapes with matching digital filenames for easy organization. Add searchable descriptions and stream your videos from your secure Heirloom account, anytime. With multiple data center backups, your memories stay safe from fire, floods, and life’s uncertainties.
Convert 8mm Tape to MP4 Video
Heirloom converts each 8mm tape to a digital MP4 video file that is downloadable to play on any device. Because 8mm tape has limited signal, your digital video will be converted to 720p, or High Definition (HD). This 1280x720 resolution is used by YouTube, Netflix, and other popular streaming services.
8mm Tape Repair
Heirloom offers free tape repair! Our experts fix moldy or broken 8mm tapes, often replacing a faulty cassette. While many repairs succeed, we can't guarantee recovery for all tapes, especially those with "Sticky Shed" syndrome.
Credit for Blank 8mm Tapes
Heirloom charges a unit price for each 8mm tape received in your order. After hours of playing your cassettes, we may discover that some of your tapes are completely blank! It's Heirloom policy to issue you a transferable credit, on an Heirloom digital gift card that never expires, for each blank 8mm tape we encounter.
NTSC, PAL, and SECAM
Heirloom converts 8mm tapes from all formats, not just the National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) standard used in North America. We also digitize tapes in Phase Alternate Line (PAL) and Sequential Color with Memory (SECAM) formats, preserving your memories no matter where they were recorded.
Free Cost Estimate
After credit for any blank tapes, 8mm tape to digital conversion is just $19.99 per tape, regardless of length. Heirloom rescues memories from any media format, so feel free to send everything. No hidden fees—use our digitizing calculator to get a total cost estimate!
