Service for Converting PAL Video Tapes to Digital
ERIC, JENNIFER, & WINSTON
Our ultimate goal is to make your best memories EverPresent in your life. Digitizing degrading photos and home movies is a necessary first step. Once your memories are safely digital, a world of searchable family archives and storytelling keepsakes are suddenly possible! We look forward to working with you.
Why Families & Institutions Nationwide Choose EverPresent
- Value: The size of our company allows us to provide more for less. Our digitizing is higher quality and better organized – and we offer an array of advanced services you won’t find anywhere else. Our pricing is transparent and always includes 60 days of free digital downloads and sharing.
- Convenience: Home and office pickups, over 50 local stores and easy shipping options. And unlike other companies, we embrace tedious work like transcribing written labels into your USB filenames and DVD labels so you don’t have to.
- Trust: Over 50 million memories preserved, 30+ years experience, 80+ expert technicians. Alarmed, sprinklered, camera-monitored, US-based, high-tech lab. Advanced barcode tracking and email technology to keep you updated.
- Respect: No upfront payments and no rushed decisions. Deciding whether to proceed with broken PAL tapes, or upgrade to ProResHQ archival files or restorative tape incubation can have a real budget impact. That’s why we include a free consultation after we’ve reviewed your materials to assure you pick the right options at the right price to suit your needs.
Pricing for PAL Video Tape Transfers
EverPresent’s unique approach to pricing:
- Our team will walk you through the technical options in advance before you commit to anything. It’s free to get your materials to us for an estimate and there’s no upfront payment.
- We don’t promote flashy discounts or expiring coupons. We offer volume discounts because it’s fair, and we apply them automatically.
- We offer the widest range of options and capabilities to assure your project gets what it needs, but out of respect for your budget, never more than it needs. In our business, one size rarely fits all (or fits in a box).
Ultimately, what we care about is helping families do this important project ONCE – and do it right the first time.

HOW DO I TELL IF MY VIDEO TAPES ARE PAL?
Many of our clients, particularly those who created their video tapes outside the United States, come to us with PAL encoded tapes to convert to DVD. Read more PAL Tapes…
“We’d accumulated a large number of family movies and videos over the years – all in different formats and mostly not labeled or mislabeled. We were about to throw them out, but EverPresent ‘saved the day’. Their staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and clearly were about preserving memories, not just ‘copying stuff’. We’ve had a great time looking at our boys early years, and some unexpected footage of my wife’s father teaching a class. Be prepared to cry (with happiness)!”

You’re in good hands! Our team has decades of experience turning millions of photos and videos into beautiful digital memories that you can share with others.
Did you or your family ever travel outside the United States with your video camera on a family vacation?
If you answered no to both of these questions, it’s very unlikely that any of the video tapes you have around are PAL format tapes. You can visit our standard video transfer service page if you don’t have any PAL tapes. If you answered yes to one or both of these questions, then you might have some PAL tapes! The good news is that we can absolutely convert PAL format tape to DVD, and the so-so news is that there is no good way to know which tapes are PAL if you don’t already.
