Convert mini DV tape to digital with easy UPS Store drop-off, free repairs, and credit for blanks. Stream, share, or download from your secure digital vault.
Convert Mini DV Tape to Digital Now
Mini DV tapes weren’t made to last. With time, these tapes degrade, the magnetic film weakens, and playback becomes impossible. The longer you wait, the more memories are lost. Heirloom makes it simple to convert mini DV tape to digital so you can rescue your memories before it's too late.
Free MiniDV Tape Repair
Heirloom offers free tape repair! Our experts fix broken or moldy MiniDV 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 Mini DV Tapes
Think you might have a few blank mini DV tapes? No problem. We’ll credit your order so you only pay for the tapes that actually get digitized. Heirloom’s mini DV tape conversion pricing is always fair, and always transparent.
Stream, Share, or Download
In less than two weeks, your digitized video will be ready to stream from your Heirloom digital vault. Share your memories with unlimited people or download portable files to keep offline. Unlike mini DV to DVD, which can rot or get scratched, our redundant cloud storage ensures your video memories will never go bad.
Why Mini DV Tape to DVD Isn't Enough
Mini DV tape to DVD was once the gold standard—but DVDs degrade too. They scratch, rot, and can’t be streamed or shared easily. Heirloom gives you a modern solution: beautiful digital videos you can stream, share, or download anytime, from anywhere, on any device.
Drop Off at Any UPS Store
To transfer mini DV tape to digital, just drop off your box of tapes at any UPS Store. Heirloom provides round-trip UPS shipping, transparent pricing, and order completion within two weeks.
What Happens After We Receive Your Tapes?
On the day your shipment arrives at Heirloom, you’ll receive an email with a detailed, itemized invoice. We’ll sort it all and show exactly what you sent. You only pay for what you want digitized—no hidden fees.
