Enter the quantity of tapes you want converted in the quantity box and purchase.2. Pack your tapes. Measure and weigh your ready to go shipment. Message me this information and your email address via eBay messages.3. I will send you a shipping label and a packing slip. I will use either USPS Ground Advantage, Fedex Home Delivery, or UPS Ground. Fill out the packing slip and put it in your package with your tapes to be shipped. Tape the shipping label to your box and bring it to a local carrier in your area (USPS, Fedex, or UPS). Make sure you get a receipt when you drop the package off.4. Upon receiving the tapes, I will convert them and have a downloadable file ready for you within 7 days. After this I can ship the tapes back to you at your expense OR I can recycle them responsibly. WHAT YOU GET: You will receive three files per videotape transfered:1. Master copy (avi or mkv file). This will be a LARGE file. 2. Streaming copy (mp4 file). 3. Upscaled streaming copy (mp4 file). These will be available for you to download from a web link. If you don't want all three of these files that is fine. Let me know which ones you want/don't want and I will send over only those. Alternatively, you can provide a mass storage device (external hard drive, flash drive, etc) with your videotapes when you send them to me. I can put the files on this device and mail it back to you at your expense. Master copies can be up to 100 GB (gigabytes!) per tape. WHAT YOU DON'T GET: 1. You will not receive a perfect video file.2. You will not receive frame-by-frame color corrected video file.3. You will not receive a digitally enhanced, de-noised, de-grained, etc. video file. For the 25 dollar per tape price, I am essentially just transferring the tape with the best known quality hardware available. I am not digitally "repairing" your video. If your video needs additional quality work then you can take the master copy and have someone skilled in digital video correction fix whatever quality issues are present. I will not do this. The important thing to note is that the master copy is lossless and can be edited at a later date WITHOUT degradation in quality.
