Northboro Media (formerly Paxton Media) specializes in transferring
your older recordings to the latest formats, currently CD, DVD and
also hard drives and flash media. It is recommended that progrms
you have in older media formats, such as film and recording tape be
converted to the newer formats.
The life of these older formats is limited. Film recorded within the
last fifty years can be expected to undergo chemical deterioration
with consequent fading, color shifting, and general loss of image
quality. Film stored in metal cans is susceptible to adverse chemical
reactions between the film emulsion and the metallic elements in
the can, leading to film deterioration. Check to see if any film you
have is stored in metal cans and if so, remove it immediately to
plastic bags.
Recording tape is simply magnetic particles glued to a strip of
plastic. As the tape ages, the glue dries out and the magnetic
particles flake away, taking your program with them.

| What we do... Your DVD or CD will have a label which you can write on, and come in its own slim "jewel case", rubber-banded to the original tape it was made from. You can then write the information that was on the tape onto the DVD label and store the tape away. Your hard drive or flash media will contain folders named with the original media, and containing the digital files made from it. Competitive rates!
