If your videotape case is damaged, it must be repaired in order to process the tape. We will automatically repair your case as part of our process; there is no charge for this service. If your videotape ribbon is damaged, it will also require repair before processing. If repair involves removing any portion of your footage, we will contact you for approval prior to repair.


The transfer price for your custom order includes a Digital Copy and MemoryCloud access, where you can view, download, order copies, and save your memories to Google Photos.

For video transfers, the price also includes videotape repairs (case replacement and ribbon splicing), mold cleaning, and PAL format conversion.


Your videotapes, movie film reels, photos, slides, and negatives deteriorate over time as does the equipment for playing analog media. Walmart Photo’s Home Movie and Photo Transfer Service converts aging media formats to digital files that you can store and back up on Google Photos and your hard drive. DVDs are organized into menus and chapters that make it easy to find your favorite moments.


Over the past 25+ years, we have developed best practices to ensure the safety and security of your memories.

  • Security Tags – As soon as your package arrives at our production facility, every item is tagged with a unique code so it can be easily tracked at any time.
  • Video Surveillance – Our facility is equipped with comprehensive video surveillance to ensure the security of your media. Every step of the transfer process is monitored and recorded for added protection.
  • Digital Backup – Your memories are securely backed up and saved for 60 days.
  • Online Order Tracking – You can check the status of your order using the Order Tracking Tool
