Preview Your Media
Before Your Transfer It

Not sure what you have, but no way to play it?

Sometimes you’d like to know what exactly is on your videotapes, film, or audio before you commit to transferring it. Maybe it’s a box of old film grandpa shot that no one has watched in 50 years, or a video tape miiiight have been recorded over. We get it, and to help we have some options for reviewing your media BEFORE you get it transferred.

Viewing Appointment (fully staffed)

Whether you have media formats not supported in our self-guided viewing room, or you would prefer to have full staff support for your appointment, or maybe you simply don’t live near our Saint Louis Park location, we also offer guided viewing appointments at our Roseville store. During these appointments you will have the full support and attention of a dedicated technician, who will run the equipment for you and answer any questions you might have. We can accommodate up to two people at a time during these appointments. The cost for guided viewing appointments is $69 per half hour. Simply give us a call to make an appointment.
