Convert VHS to DVD, UK from £13 a tape + £6 a disc
Want your home videos on a disc for the DVD player? Tapes To Digital converts VHS tapes to DVD at full quality, splitting long recordings across discs rather than squeezing them onto one. Every DVD order includes the MP4 files too, so your memories are safe on disc and on file. £13–£15 per tape plus £6 per disc, most orders ready in 7–10 working days, and your original tapes always come back. No charge for blank tapes.
Drop off in Brixton, Watford, Southall or Farnborough — or post your tapes from anywhere in the UK at the same price.
WhatsApp usHow much does it cost to convert VHS to DVD in the UK?
VHS to DVD from £13 a tape plus £6 per disc. Up to 3 hours per tape included, and the MP4 files come with every DVD order.
The per-tape price depends only on how many tapes you send. VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, Video 8, Hi8, Digital 8 and audio cassettes all count together towards your rate. Each DVD holds up to 2 hours, so a longer tape goes across two discs.
| Number of tapes | Price per tape |
|---|---|
| 1–4 tapes | £15 |
| 5–10 tapes | £14.50 |
| 11–20 tapes | £14 |
| 21–30 tapes | £13.50 |
| 31+ tapes | £13 |
- DVD discs: £6 per disc. Up to 2 hours per disc at full quality. Longer tapes are split across discs, never compressed.
- MP4 files included with every DVD order, so you are never relying on a disc alone.
- Up to 3 hours of footage per tape is included. Anything longer is £6 per extra hour.
- American NTSC or French tapes: +£7 per tape.
- Mouldy or damaged tapes: cleaning and repair from £13 per tape, quoted before we start.
- Blank tapes cost nothing. You pay only for footage we recover.
Example: a 2-hour VHS tape on one disc is £15 + £6 = £21. Ten tapes, one disc each, are 10 × (£14.50 + £6) = £205, with the MP4 files of every tape included.
Try one tape first. Send one tape at £15 plus £6 for the disc. When the rest follow, the whole order is priced at the bulk rate for the full quantity and the difference comes off your balance.
✓ Every tape is played on professional converters. We do a better job, and your originals always come back.
✓ Prefer files only? See our VHS to digital service — same per-tape price, no disc needed.

VHS to DVD, Done Properly
We'll be upfront: for most families Tapes To Digital recommends USB or MP4 files, because they play on phones, smart TVs and computers, they're easy to share, and they never scratch. But if a disc suits you better, for the DVD player in the living room or for grandparents who'd rather just press play, we do VHS to DVD properly. Every tape is played on professional converters, long tapes are split across as many discs as they need so nothing is compressed, and every DVD order includes the MP4 files as well, from £13 a tape plus £6 per disc. Drop off in Brixton, Watford, Southall or Farnborough, or post from anywhere in the UK at the same price. Your original tapes always come back.
Tell us how many tapes you have and we will confirm the price and turnaround before you commit.
Full quality on every disc
Why don't you fit a long tape onto one DVD?
A DVD holds about 2 hours at full quality, so a longer recording goes across as many discs as it needs at £6 per disc. Squeezing a 3 or 4-hour tape onto one disc means compressing the picture, and you can see it: softer faces and blocky movement. Tapes To Digital doesn't do that. Every minute plays back at full DVD quality, and your originals always come back.
✓Up to 2 hours per disc, never compressed to fit
✓MP4 files included with every DVD order
✓Most orders ready in 7–10 working days
✓From £13 a tape + £6 a disc, no charge for blank tapes
DVD or USB?
Should I choose DVD or USB?
For most families we recommend USB or MP4 files: they play on phones, smart TVs and computers, are easy to share, and don't scratch. DVD is the better choice if the people watching prefer to press play on a DVD player. You don't have to choose: every DVD order includes the MP4 files too. If you'd rather skip the discs, see our VHS to digital service at the same per-tape price.
Disc and file, together
What you get back: DVD plus MP4
Every VHS to DVD order comes back as DVD discs that play in any DVD player, plus an MP4 of each tape. Ask for the archival AVI/MOV master and we'll supply it alongside your MP4 at the same price. Take the files on a USB we supply, as a download (from £7), on your own USB or on an external hard drive.
VHS to DVD
A DVD for every tape at £6 per disc, up to 2 hours per disc at full quality. Long recordings are split across discs rather than squeezed to fit, so the picture quality stays intact.
MP4 files included
The MP4 of each tape comes with your discs, so your memories are safe on file as well as on disc. Plug the USB into a smart TV or computer and press play.
Camcorder tapes to DVD
VHS-C, MiniDV, Video 8, Hi8 and Digital 8 tapes go to DVD at the same per-tape prices, and a mixed order counts together for the bulk discount. See VHS-C tapes to digital.

How Long VHS to DVD Conversion Takes
Most VHS to DVD orders from Tapes To Digital are ready in 7–10 working days from the day we receive your tapes, and often sooner. Tell us when you book if you need the discs by a particular date and we'll say straight away whether we can meet it. If a tape needs cleaning or repair before it will play we contact you first, because that can add time. Your original tapes are always returned with your DVDs.
What You Get With Every VHS to DVD Order
Tapes To Digital gives you the disc and the files. Here is what comes back with every VHS to DVD order.
DVD Discs
A DVD that plays in any DVD player, £6 per disc. A disc holds up to two hours, so a long recording is split across more than one disc rather than compressed to fit. Every minute plays back at full DVD quality.
MP4 Files on USB
The MP4 of every tape is included with your DVD order, on a USB we supply, your own USB or an external hard drive. Ask for the archival AVI/MOV master and we'll supply it alongside your MP4 at the same price.
Or a Download
Prefer not to wait for the post? Have your MP4 files as a download (from £7) and save them straight onto your own computer or drive while the discs are on their way to you.
Frequently Asked Questions About
VHS to DVD Conversion
How much does VHS to DVD conversion cost in the UK?
Tapes To Digital charges £15 per tape for 1–4 tapes, £14.50 for 5–10, £14 for 11–20, £13.50 for 21–30 and £13 for 31 or more, plus £6 per DVD disc. Every price covers up to 3 hours of footage per tape, and the MP4 files are included with every DVD order.
How many DVDs will one VHS tape need?
One disc holds up to 2 hours. Most home videos fit on a single disc, and a longer recording is split across two or more at £6 per disc. A tape's recorded length can't be read from the label, so the number of discs is confirmed once the tape has been played all the way through.
Why don't you fit a long tape onto one DVD?
Fitting more than 2 hours onto one disc means compressing the picture, which makes faces softer and movement blocky. Tapes To Digital keeps every disc at full quality, so a long tape goes across as many discs as it needs at £6 per disc.
Should I choose DVD or USB?
For most families we recommend USB or MP4 files: they play on phones, smart TVs and computers, are easy to share, and don't scratch. DVD is the better choice if the people watching prefer a DVD player. You don't have to choose: every DVD order includes the MP4 files too.
Do I get digital files as well as the DVD?
Yes. Every DVD order includes an MP4 of each tape. If you also want the archival AVI or MOV master, just ask; it is available at the same price. Every original tape comes back to you.
How long does VHS to DVD conversion take?
Most orders are ready in 7–10 working days from the day Tapes To Digital receives your tapes, and sooner on request depending on quantity. Tell us your deadline when you book and we'll say straight away whether we can meet it.
Where can I convert VHS to DVD near me?
Tapes To Digital has four by-appointment drop-offs in the UK: Brixton (south London), Watford (Hertfordshire), Southall (Ealing, west London) and Farnborough (Hampshire). The exact address arrives with your booking confirmation. If none is near you, post your tapes from anywhere in the UK at exactly the same per-tape price.
Can you convert American or overseas tapes to DVD?
Yes. Tapes recorded in the USA (NTSC) or France cost an extra £7 per tape on top of the standard price. If you're not sure where a tape was recorded, bring it in and we'll check it.
