Preserving Memories in Geelong: VHS, Hi8, Video8 & MiniDV Conversion You Can Trust

For many years now, families across Geelong have been bringing us boxes of old tapes—VHS, Hi8, Video8, MiniDV—and asking, “Can these still be saved?” As technology has moved forward, these tapes have been left behind, but the memories inside them are priceless.

At The Tribe Video, we’re proud to help people keep their family history alive through VHS and Mini DV tape conversion right here in Geelong. The truth is that old tapes weren’t built to last forever. Over time, they fade, break down, become mouldy, or simply stop working. Many Geelong households no longer have a working VCR or camcorder, which means years of memories are tucked away in cupboards with no way to be viewed.

That’s why converting VHS, Hi8, Video8, and MiniDV tapes to digital format is so important. Once your footage is digitised, it can be safely stored on a USB or harddrive. You can share it with family, organise it, and even edit it into a highlight reel if you’d like.
At The Tribe Video, we understand that these tapes aren’t just videos. They’re birthdays, weddings, holidays, graduations, and quiet everyday moments that mean the world to the people who lived them. We handle every tape with the same care we’d want for our own family memories.

One of the reasons Geelong locals choose us is because everything stays local. Your tapes never get shipped to another city or country. We do all the work ourselves, right here in Geelong, in our own space, where you know exactly who is handling your memories.
If you have boxes or drawers filled with old tapes, now is the perfect time to have them digitised. We’d be honoured to help you preserve your family history for the next generation. Please get in touch.
