From old to new, trust us with all your video needs

Video Tape Digitization & Broadcast Master Ingest

Whether you have a box of childhood VHS tapes or an entire institutional library of broadcast masters, our facility is equipped to preserve your recordings in pristine digital formats (MP4, ProRes, Uncompressed, USB, Cloud, or DVD).

We maintain and calibrate a massive matrix of consumer and professional broadcast decks, including: VHS, S-VHS, VHS-C, Betamax, Video8, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, HDV, Laserdisc, DVCAM, DVCPRO, XDCAM, Betacam SP, Betacam SX, Digital Betacam, 3/4" U-Matic, and 1-Inch Type C Open Reel.

Our broadcast-grade time base correctors (TBC) and signal processors stabilize jitter, restore color accuracy, and guarantee archival-grade capture fidelity.

Motion Picture Film Conversions (Regular 8, Super 8 & 16mm)

Over the past four decades, Overseas Video Lab has digitized tens of millions of feet of motion picture film for families, archives, museums, and feature film studios across North America. We convert Regular 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm film reels (ranging from 50 ft up to 2000 ft) to modern digital formats.

Unlike basic services that project film onto a wall, we utilize specialized, custom-engineered frame-by-frame telecine scanners. This captures the image directly from the physical film strip into a high-definition digital signal—completely eliminating flicker while dynamically optimizing speed, exposure, brightness, and color balance. We also capture magnetic soundtracks on Super 8 film and both optical and magnetic sound on 16mm reels.

Corporate Video Production, Filming, Livestreaming & Post-Production

Pretty much anything video-related, we can produce, film, stream, and edit. Since 1980, thousands of organizations—including International Corporations, Universities, Hospitals, Government Ministries, Non-Profits, and Television Studios—have relied on our experienced production crew and large Toronto facility.

• Corporate Filming & Studio Production: Full-service multi-camera HD/4K filming on location or inside our in-house green screen and blue screen soundstages. Ideal for corporate communications, executive interviews, television commercials, promotional marketing videos, industrial training videos, and educational programs.
• Live Event Streaming & Webcasting: Reliable, broadcast-quality multi-camera livestreaming for corporate town halls, conferences, AGM meetings, medical symposia, and special events delivered seamlessly to YouTube, Zoom, custom portals, or global networks.

• CRTC-Certified Closed Captioning: Industry-certified closed captioning and subtitling workflows fully compliant with all CRTC and Telecaster broadcast standards across Canada and the United States.

Audio Digitization & Restoration

We transfer delicate analog audio recordings into crystal-clear, high-fidelity digital files (uncompressed WAV masters, MP3, or Audio CD). Our studio ingestion decks natively support: Audio Cassette Tapes, 1/4" Open Reel-to-Reel Audio Tapes, Vinyl LPs (33 & 45 RPM), DAT (Digital Audio Tape), and 8-Track Cartridges.

Scanning Services

We provide high-resolution digitization for both photographic archives and paper records. We scan documents, physical photo prints, 35mm slides, and film negatives into clean, organized digital files (PDF, JPEG, or uncompressed archival TIFF). For slides and negatives, we utilize advanced Digital ICE4 technology up to 4000 DPI, which automatically removes surface dust, scratches, and color fading.

In addition to scanning, we offer high-volume DVD & CD Duplication, custom-authored Video Slideshows for memorials and milestone events, PowerPoint-to-Video conversions, and professional Projector & PA Sound Equipment Rentals.
