Get Those Videos Off Your Old Camcorder and Into a Digital Format

Have an old camcorder sitting in a closet or drawer with family videos still stored on it?

Maybe you haven't turned it on in years. Maybe you don't have the cables anymore. Maybe you have no idea how to connect it to your current computer.


Digital Saviors Chicago can help get those videos off your old camcorder and transfer them into modern digital files.


Once they're digital, those old recordings become much easier to watch, preserve, back up and share with family and friends.


We Transfer Video Directly From Camcorders

If you still have an old camcorder containing videos, bring it to us.

We can transfer compatible video stored on the camcorder and convert it into digital video files that you can use on today's computers and devices.

Those recordings could include your children's first steps, birthdays, graduations, holidays, vacations, weddings, family gatherings or everyday moments you haven't watched in years.

Don't leave those memories trapped inside an old camera.


What About Memory Cards & Memory Sticks?

Many camcorders recorded video and photos onto removable memory cards, memory sticks or other digital storage media.


We can transfer compatible videos and photographs from many of these older storage formats as well.


If you're not sure what kind of camcorder, memory card or storage device you have, bring it in and we'll take a look.


How You'll Receive Your Videos

Once your camcorder videos have been transferred, you have several options.

USB Flash Drive - This is our most popular option.

Your videos are saved as digital files on a USB flash drive, making them easy to store, copy, back up and share.


Digital Download - We can also provide your completed video files electronically so you can download them directly to your computer.


DVD - If you prefer a physical disc, DVD is still available as an option.

A standard DVD can hold up to approximately two hours of video, depending on the project and how the disc is created.


For most customers today, we recommend flash drives because they're much easier to copy, back up and use on modern devices.


Compatible With Windows & Mac

Your transferred digital video files can be provided in formats compatible with Windows and Mac computers.


Once you have the digital files, you can create additional backups, move them to other storage devices or upload them to your preferred cloud storage service.


We always recommend keeping important family videos in more than one location.


Don't Leave Your Memories Trapped in an Old Camcorder

Technology changes quickly. Connections disappear. Computers change. Batteries die. Chargers get lost. Memory cards become obsolete, and eventually the equipment needed to access older devices becomes harder to find. The videos stored on that old camcorder may be irreplaceable.


Getting them transferred now gives you the opportunity to preserve those recordings in a format that's much easier to access today.


Not Sure What You Have?

That's okay. If you have an old camcorder, memory stick, memory card or other storage device and aren't sure whether we can transfer it, give us a call and tell us what you have. We'll help you determine the best way to get those videos and pictures off the old equipment and into a modern digital format.
