Transfer MicroMV Tapes to Digital

Preserve your precious memories by converting your MicroMV tapes to digital formats with EachMoment. MicroMV tapes were revolutionary in the home camcorder market in the early 2000s. These tiny videotape formats were produced by Sony but were largely unsuccessful. However, across the UK, hundreds of families captured real-life moments on MicroMV tapes. Rather than leaving them to degrade on these mini tapes, why not take the opportunity to convert them to digital and give them new life?

At EachMoment, we can convert all your home videos to digital, no matter the format. We convert a huge range of analogue formats to digital with our Memory Box packages, including MiniDV, VHS-C, Hi8, and more.

Why Choose EachMoment for MicroMV to Digital Conversion?

MicroMV tapes, camcorders, and players have been out of production since 2016. With each passing year, the technology needed to play old MicroMV tapes becomes more unobtainable. Meanwhile, the tapes degrade, leaving your memories vulnerable to loss. Converting your MicroMV tapes to digital formats like USB, DVD, or cloud storage ensures that your memories are preserved for generations to come.

Converting old tapes to digital files is a laborious process and can lead to irretrievable damage due to improper care or subpar equipment. At EachMoment, we source the hard-to-find equipment for you, saving you time and money. Our experts treat all your tapes with the care and attention your memories deserve.

And we can digitise all your tapes in one go, no matter what format they come in. Whether you have VHS tapes, Betamax, or Digital8, we've got you covered.

How We Convert MicroMV to Digital Formats

Our digitisation process is simple and secure:

  1. Select a Memory Box
    Tell us how many MicroMV tapes you need to digitise by selecting a Memory Box in the right size. There are five sizes to choose from, starting with 3 or fewer tapes for our Kilo box and ending with our Peta box if you’ve got 25-48 tapes. Got more tapes than that? We can accommodate larger orders too.
  2. Choose Your Preferred Format
    Tell us what format you’d like your files stored on: USB stick, DVD set, or cloud album. Select our Luxury USB stick for the perfect gift.
  3. Send Us Your Tapes
    We get a pre-made, reinforced Memory Box delivered to you the next working day. Fill it with your MicroMV tapes and let us know when you’re ready for collection via our online portal.
  4. We Collect and Digitise
    Our couriers collect the Memory Box from you, and we track its journey from your door to ours. Each tape is carefully dusted and cleaned before being passed through our cassette players and digitally formatted. We regularly service our broadcast-quality players to give you the best quality.
  5. Editing and Quality Enhancement
    Image and sound are edited with our software to bring quality up to modern standards. We adjust colours, enhance audio, and remove any imperfections to ensure your memories look and sound their best.
  6. Receive Your Digital Memories
    The digital videos are transferred to your chosen output format, repackaged with all your tapes in your Memory Box, and sent back to you. Our couriers deliver all your rejuvenated media to your doorstep, ready for viewing on your laptop, smartphone, or smart TV.

A Brief History of MicroMV Tapes

When MicroMV tapes burst onto the scene in 2001, it seemed they could have made a long-lasting impact on the home video and camcorder market. At the time, it was the most compact videotape—70% smaller than the MiniDV tapes, which were then the most popular format of its kind. At just under two inches in diameter and able to hold an hour of film, MicroMV tapes appeared to signal a revolution in compact videotapes in terms of their size.

However, MicroMV tapes were largely unsuccessful. Sony, the only producer of MicroMV tapes, did not allow for their tapes to be edited on mainstream software, nor did other electronics manufacturers sell MicroMV camcorders, resulting in a swift decline into obsolescence. Despite its short-lived presence on the market, and judging by the number of MicroMV tapes converted to digital at EachMoment, people still have bundles of MicroMV tapes occupying space around the home.
