Your Memories. Your Tapes.
Plain-English guides for tapes, film, cassettes, and records — so you can preserve them at home, and keep them yours.
Each guide shows the simple version first — then the deeper details if you want them. Clear, never condescending.
VHS, camcorder tapes, 8mm & Super 8 film, mini-DV.
Cassette tapes, vinyl records, voicemails, micro-cassettes.
Either way, your memories never leave your home. Learn the basics free, or let one RVT device handle it all.
Go at your own pace with our step-by-step guides. We tell you exactly what to do and what to click — even if you’ve never done it before.

Tap a question to open the answer.
No. Playing a tape to copy it does not erase it. We also show you how to store originals safely afterward — you keep everything.
Never. That’s the whole point of RVT — your irreplaceable memories stay home with you. You digitize them yourself with our guides or our digitizer, and nothing precious gets shipped to strangers.
Usually not — but tapes do fade over time, so sooner is better. Our guide shows the warning signs to check, and you can always send us a photo to ask.
Standard files that play on any phone or computer — MP4 for video, MP3 for audio — stored wherever you choose. Our guides show the best format so your memories last for decades.
Whether you follow a free guide or use the RVT digitizer, our whole job is to make sure nothing gets lost — and that you never feel confused along the way.
