We are generally available 7 days a week, from 6am – 8pm. We prefer after-hours & weekends for any in-person appointments.

As we do not run a retail storefront, we prefer that you use our mail-in system.

We have a secure GPO box in Brisbane CBD and since we started offering conversion services in 2002, the postal system has not lost or misplaced any tape sent in to us. For added security, you may wish to use Registered Post.

That said, if you prefer to drop them off, we are available for dropoffs by appointment after-hours. Please contact us for further information.

Yes we do – please refer to the Application Form (on our Video Conversion page) for pricing and timeframes.

Quite a few, actually – please refer to the “What tape do I have?” section on our Video Conversion page for more information.

Yes we can – please contact us for pricing, as it’ll be specific to your requirements.

We can convert to a number of digital formats – including .AVI, .MOV and other common / web formats.

According to current copyright laws (at the time of writing), you are allowed to make one copy for your own backup purposes, if (and only if) you own the original video tape.

However, should the tape employ its own copy protection system (e.g. Macrovision), then our system will physically be unable to make a copy. We can certainly try it for you, though!

Absolutely – although from time to time, we have had clients ask us not to return them since they had no way of playing them anyway. It’s up to you!

Occasionally. If the physical magnetic tape has ‘snapped’. then we will often attempt a repair at a small additional fee. However, it depends on the amount of damage and where the break is – so each tape is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Once we receive your tapes, we’ll start converting them and email you an invoice. Once the conversion is finished, and the invoice is paid, your items will be dispatched.

We can convert audio tape to CD, audio tape to MP3, audio tape to WAV, CD to CD, CD to MP3, CD to WAV… you name it!

Please refer to the Application Form (which also includes prices) on our Audio Conversion page.

Not at this stage – but please let us know if you’d like us to – because we’re thinking of introducing this soon!

We’ve done all kinds of things for our clients – including speeding songs up, slowing songs down, repeating verses / choruses, removing vulgar language, cutting songs early, extending songs, mixing songs together, enhancing the sound & volume, creating mixes for dance troupes & eisteddfod groups, etc.

Yes! Some of our dance teachers, eisteddfod coordinators and fitness instructors come straight after class – sometimes at 8pm, 9pm or later! So yes, we are available after hours for audio mixing services, by appointment.

Once we receive your tapes, we’ll start converting them and email you an invoice. Once the conversion is finished, and the invoice is paid, your items will be dispatched.

Lazers, smoke machines, mixing consoles, confetti cannons, 2-way radio’s, media servers and more! Please refer to our hire item listing for details.

It depends on the item, to be honest. Most items are available for anyone to hire, but due to the nature of some items (such as our more powerful lazers), they may only be hired to stage technicians or other hire companies looking to fulfil larger orders. Contact us for more details.

Most items require a deposit upfront, as well as full payment of the hire invoice. The deposit is then returned to you upon return of the item – so long as it was returned on time, and in the same condition it left us with all accompanying parts.

We also require a copy of the hirer’s Government-issued ID. Orders, or items, worth over $5,000 may also have additional requirements.

All hired are subject to our standard terms & conditions and item availability.

Colours usually in stock include: Black, blue, fluro (orange, pink, yellow), gold, green, red hearts, pink, purple, red, red rose petals, silver …as well as custom mixes of any of the above.

Payment for hire items is upfront, with a deposit charged that is refunded upon return of any hired items in their original, working condition.

Existing clients are offered payment terms ranging from 7 – 21 days, depending on their time with us.
