My Media Memories

Photo, slide and video digitisation in the UK

My Media Memories is a business specialising in the conversion of photographs, 35mm slides and video tapes to digital format. The company presents itself as a small business providing a personalised service and operates from offices in Lancashire and Merseyside, although it serves customers throughout the UK and also abroad.

Photo and slide scanning

The photo digitisation service scans images at 600 dpi, a resolution the company describes as twice the industry-recognised quality standard. For 35mm slides, scanning is carried out at 4800 dpi and incorporates infrared technology to detect and remove defects such as dust and scratches.

Video to HD conversion

My Media Memories converts video tapes of various formats —VHS/C, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV and DVD— to a 1080p HD MPEG-4 digital format. The result can be played on Windows, Mac/iOS and Android devices, including computers, laptops, phones, tablets and smart TVs. The price stated on the site is £10 per tape or disc, with a 10% discount on orders of six or more units. Prices include return shipping within the UK via a Royal Mail insured service; for customers outside the UK, the company offers international postage rates "at cost".

Photo restoration and enhancement

The company also offers photo and slide restoration and repair services, as well as enhancement and colour correction. These tasks include the removal of signs of deterioration such as creases, stains and tears.

Price calculator and ordering process

The website includes a price calculator that provides an estimate based on the volume or weight of the photographs and slides, without the need to count them one by one. For videos, the price is set per tape or disc. The company states that orders can be placed by phone or via a contact form.

Customer service and service area

My Media Memories describes itself as a small business with personalised attention. The testimonials on the site mention the speed of response, communication throughout the process and the possibility of delivering and collecting the material in person. The company notes that its customers are nationwide and that it can meet needs in any location.
