    iv. Delivery

    How you get your videos.

    Digitization orders (Basic and Advanced) include one delivery format: 1 year cloud streaming or a disc set, your choice at checkout.

    1. Cloud streaming (1 year free)

      For Basic and Advanced. Watch in a streaming app, just like Netflix, on phone, tablet, smart TV or web. After the free first year, renewal is $25/year for up to 20 tapes in your cloud, plus $1/year for each additional tape. We don’t offer USB flash storage on purpose. See the FAQ for why.

    2. DVD set

      Standard-definition DVDs with menus you designed in the dashboard. Available with Basic and Advanced packages. Not available for AI Enhancement output: DVD can’t hold a FullHD stream.

    3. BluRay set

      High-capacity BluRay discs. Optional alternative to DVD for Basic and Advanced packages. If you add AI Enhancement to a Digitization order from your dashboard before the discs are burned, the enhanced output ships on BluRay even if you originally picked DVD: DVD can’t hold FullHD.

    4. Standalone AI Enhancement (your own uploads)

      If you upload your own video files for AI Enhancement (no Digitization order), there’s no cloud subscription and no disc. We deliver an MP4 download.

    Downloads. The MP4 files of every order can be downloaded from your dashboard for 30 days after the order is completed. With cloud streaming, those 30 days start when your subscription ends instead. Save local copies before your window closes.

    Original tapes. All physical orders include the return of your original tapes.

    Upgrade while your order is open. Mark specific clips for Advanced re-scan or AI enhancement. We bill only the minutes you choose.

    v. Upgrades

    While your order is open.

    As soon as your captures appear in the dashboard, mark portions for higher tiers, until the order is completed (with discs, before they are burned). No re-shipping, no minimums.

    1. Re-scan portions of a Basic capture to Advanced

      $0.05 per minute of source video. Archival-quality re-scan with Advanced deinterlacing and Full-Frame TBC, applied only to the portions you mark.

    2. AI Enhancement on portions of an Advanced capture

      $0.30 per minute, first 3 minutes free. Upscale to 1080p with denoise and detail enhancement. AI always runs on an Advanced capture, the cleanest possible source; a Basic capture gets the Advanced re-scan first (see the combined option below). The free 3 minutes are for sampling: mark a clip you care about, see the result, then decide whether to mark more.

    3. Combine: Advanced re-scan + AI on Basic portions

      $0.35 per minute combined ($0.05 re-scan + $0.30 AI). The first 3 minutes are fully free on this path too: both the re-scan and the AI on the sample cost you nothing. Use this when you ordered Basic but want the full archival + AI treatment on specific clips, without paying for the whole tape.

    4. After your order is completed

      Upgrades can’t be added to a completed order. You can still download your files from the dashboard and upload them as a standalone AI Enhancement order at $0.35 per minute, or email support@savevhs.com and we’ll help.

    vi. Special Cases

    Beyond the price book.

    Bulk orders, damaged tapes and return shipping, handled outside the standard packages.

    1. 10+ tapes

      The online order tops out at 10 tapes to keep handling predictable. For larger archives, contact us. We can quote a better per-tape rate and stagger the work.

    2. Tape restoration

      Mold, broken shells, sticky-shed syndrome and other damage are handled separately. We inspect, send a free quote, and only proceed with your written approval. Billed hourly based on the work required.

    3. Return shipping

      Calculated at checkout based on package weight. Returns ship via USPS with tracking, typically in 3–8 business days. Portland metro pickups include free return drop-off.

    One last thing: no tax in Oregon.

    Oregon has no statewide sales tax. Customers outside Oregon may see tax added at checkout depending on local rules.

    Q. & A.

    Pricing questions.

    The most-asked. A longer set covers process and tapes.

    Setup time and handling are largely fixed costs per order. The actual capture machine doesn’t get faster with more tapes, but the overhead per tape goes down. We pass that saving on directly.

    Yes, for Digitization orders. Basic and Advanced include 1 year cloud access or a disc set (DVD or BluRay), your pick at checkout, no price difference. If you add AI Enhancement to a Digitization order before it’s completed, the enhanced output follows the order’s delivery: the same cloud year, or a BluRay set (DVD can’t hold FullHD). Standalone AI Enhancement (you upload your own files, no Digitization) is a different product: no disc, no cloud subscription, 30-day download window from order completion. Disc counts vary with runtime, but the media itself is part of the Digitization package price.

    Yes, for your own existing video files. Upload the file on the AI Enhancement upload page: we price it by its length, $0.35 per minute, and uploading creates your order. After you pay, the whole file goes into processing, and the enhanced video comes back to your dashboard as an MP4 download.

    After basic capture, your account shows every clip with timecodes. You mark the segments you want enhanced and we bill only for those minutes.

    $25/year extends your streaming access for another full year for up to 20 tapes in your cloud; each additional tape adds $1/year. While your cloud subscription is active, source MP4 files stay downloadable. If you don’t renew, streaming stops when it ends, but you can still download your files from your dashboard for 30 days.
