Film & Video Transfer FAQs

How long does the transfer take?

Please check with your local London Drugs for specific turnaround times based on the work being done. You will get an email notification when your order is ready for pickup.

What should I do before bringing my media in?

Before you bring in your media, you should check if your footage has video and/or sound content. You should also label your film or videotapes in viewing order. If your media is not labeled, your film will be processed in a random order.

If there is a problem with your original media, like broken tape/film or damaged film sprockets, we should be made aware so we can attempt to fix the issue.

Will I get my original footage back?

Of course!

Can you transfer PAL tapes?

We are able to transfer or convert VHS PAL only at this time.
