Frequently asked questions
terms & conditions
. Record With Rem uses maintained, high quality hardware, such as VCR’s, DVR’s, camcorders, scanners, SD card readers, and disc drives. However, due to the potential age of the customer’s original media and Record With Rem’s hardware that is playing it, as well as the uncertainty of the customer’s media’s lifetime usage and storage conditions, Record WIth Rem is not liable for any prior damage to the media upon receiving it from the customer, nor any new damage to the media during the recording and digitizing process. Any and all damages incurred will result in the service cost for that single piece of media being refunded to the customer, with any salvageable digitizing completed.​ By using our services, I, (the customer), agree to all of the services as listed [above] as performed by Record With Rem. Home video and photos often contain personal, intimate family moments. I consent to the viewing, recording, editing, and delivery of the requested media performed by Record With Rem. Record With Rem will not share or return any physical or digitized media that does not originally belong to the requesting client. Record With Rem will only share and return physical and digitized media to the client’s name that is written on their contract. Record With Rem will not digitize any media that is protected under copyright law. Payment must be sent prior to the delivery of the returned physical and digitized media. After 60 days from the completed media delivery date to the client, any and all digitized media will be fully deleted from Record With Rem hardware and software. Any further modifications to [a service contract] will result in the submission of a new, revised contract to be signed, therefore voiding the previous agreement.
1. What is the difference between the Basic Package and the Deluxe Service? Basic Packages include a digitized version of your video or photo, trimmed to remove excess time or area, and named properly according to the original label or time stamp. Deluxe Services are add-on services to the Basic Package for an additional charge. After digitization, the media will undergo color and noise correction, audio correction for video, damage removal and overall restoration to make your piece just like how you remember it! The add-on Deluxe Service is applied to each piece of media, not the entire order, and the total is compounded based on quantity. The Deluxe Service cannot be purchased separately without the Basic Package.
2. In what file format will my home movies and photos be digitized? 8mm film reels will be saved as 1080p MP4s, all tape-based media will be saved as 480p MP4s, and DVD videos will be saved as 720p MP4s. Photos will be saved as JPEGs, for widespread compatibility. Then those files will be saved onto a USB flash drive/thumb stick.
3. How will my home movies and photos be organized? Inside your flash drive will be folders separating video and photos. Inside the video folder will be your home movies in chronological order. File naming will begin with the start date of the video, followed by the end date of the video, and may include the written name or identifier of the home movie, if applicable. Photos will be given any discernible characteristics, beginning with the date and ending with any written name or identifier. File naming is reliant on any information the client has given us, and blank tapes or those missing identifiers will have a naming convention based on our best judgement.
4. Where will I be able to see my digitized home movies and photos? Your media will be saved onto a USB-A flash drive that can be plugged into any computer, laptop, or other smart device with a compatible port, even some newer televisions. From there, you can share your media on a file sharing site, through email, social media, and more!
5. How long will you save my home movies and photos in your database? Your media will be saved on our company workstations for a maximum of 60 days after the delivery date of your media. This allows for the media to be shared with you again if you happen to lose the flash drive, request more copies of flash drives, or have questions or concerns about your completed order. After 60 days, all media from the client minus the signed contract will be deleted. If you request any of the already digitized files after the 60 day holding period, a new order will need to be created.
6. How can I leave Record With Rem feedback about my completed order?
