Somewhere in your house there's a box. Old home movies, a wedding on VHS, photos going soft at the corners. We're the something you keep meaning to do about it.
40+ years in Frederick · Your originals returned safe · No robots on the phone
The part nobody likes to think about
The machines that play this stuff stopped being made years ago. Every year you wait, the picture gets a little worse and the memory gets a little further away.
We're not saying this to scare you. (Okay, maybe a little.) We've saved reels people thought were long gone. We've also opened boxes we couldn't save. The difference is usually time, and you've still got yours.
Bring us any of these and we'll bring it back to life.
Reels from the attic, transferred frame by frame with the care they deserve.
The ones you can name and the ones you can't. We've seen every format made.
Hundreds or thousands, we don't flinch. Scanned, digitized, and organized so they're safe and easy to share.
Cassettes, reels, and yes, your dad's terrible garage band. Saved for good.
You get it back as a DVD, a USB drive, a digital download, or all three.
Every reel, every slide, every tape. You get the memory and the keepsake back, exactly how you handed it to us. We guarantee it.
No robot. No "press 4 for transfers." You call, we answer, we talk it through like neighbors. Because we basically are.
We've seen every format ever made and a few nobody remembers. Whatever's in your box, it isn't our first time.
429 E. Patrick St. A real shop with real people who answer the phone. Close by? Come shake a hand. Far away? Mail it in and we've still got you.
We've had customers open a finished DVD and hear their mother's voice for the first time in twenty years. We've watched folks see their kids little again, their grandparents young again, a holiday everyone forgot was filmed. Making you sob your face off is, quite literally, our business. We're good at it.
"Carpel Video did such a great job putting our home movies on DVDs. Such great memories of our twins when they were little, as well as seeing loved ones who have passed. Thank you!"
"Throughout my 10 years with this organization, I can unequivocally say their service and customer service have always been exemplary. This is a great little company."
"Excellent in-house service! Highly recommend."
Transfers are our heart, but Carpel has been a full video shop since 1983. If your business needs it, we probably do it.
Ten copies or ten thousand. Authoring, menus, custom packaging and label design, all done in-house with quick turnarounds and fair pricing.

The memories waited this long. Don't make them wait much longer.
