I treat them that way.

Hi, I’m Mike.

I run Encore Video from my home in Kanata, and you can reach me directly any time. I will be the only one handling your transfers, and I will take good care of your memories.

You get clear communication along the way and every original back. Many local families have already trusted me with their home videos. I’d love to help bring yours back, too.

FOR THE FOOTAGE THAT MEANS THE MOST

A little extra love for the picture.

Optional AI enhancement can reduce noise, sharpen detail, improve colour, and upscale your video. This separate premium service starts at $300, with approximately 24 hours of intensive processing per tape. Results depend on the original footage; we’ll discuss what makes sense for your videos before you decide.
