Since reel film is positive, you should be able recognize what is on the frames. If you have reels of film, an easy way to check what's on it is to unwind some of the film from the reel and hold it up to the light. Many people still have their old cameras in storage alongside their tapes but you can often find working cameras on places like eBay or local electronic recycling sites. If you have small video cassettes such as VHS-C, Video 8, or Mini DV, we suggest using a camera to view them. Q) I'm not sure what is on my tapes/reels, how can I view them before transfer?Ī) We don't have the machinery to playback and view video tapes/reels in our stores.

If you are unsure of what types of media you have, please contact us or bring them in so that we can see what you have and let you know what your options are. Peterson's has been a long term partner and we are happy to continue trusting them with our video needs.
