Tape Condition

Tapes don’t last forever.

Magnetic tape breaks down over time, and heat and humidity speed it up. The longer tapes sit, the more likely footage is to be damaged or lost.

VHS & VHS-C
Often 10–25 years
Faded or washed-out color, picture dropouts, mold, and oxide shedding from the tape. Tapes that were played a lot or stored in warm places fail sooner.
Hi8 & Video8
Often 10–25 years
Dropouts, tape that sticks or squeals in the player, and clogged heads. The tape is thin, so creases and stretching are common in older cassettes.
MiniDV
Often 15–30 years
Digital dropouts that show up as blocky pictures, frozen frames, or missing sections. Because the signal is digital, damage can mean lost footage rather than just a noisy picture.
Audio Cassettes
Often 10–30 years
Sticky or brittle tape, stretching, muffled sound, and warbling speed. Micro-cassettes are especially delicate.

These are rough estimates, not guarantees. Storage matters more than age: tapes kept cool, dry, and away from attics, garages, and magnets last far longer than tapes kept in the heat.

What if my tape can’t be read?

Some tapes are too damaged to recover, even with our best effort. If we can’t recover usable footage from a tape, a flat per-tape fee still applies to cover the time and equipment work. We’ll tell you what we found before your tapes are returned.
