Media Center
Welcome to our Media Center Page
TBCS Members have access to our Audio/Video equipment which is capable of digitizing many analog formats. While usage of this equipment is free to our members, you MUST initially be trained in order to properly use it. Start the process by sending an email to secretary@tampa-bay.org explaining what type of conversion you would like to perform. A volunteer from our stable of Mentors will contact you in order to schedule training.
Here are the types of conversions we are capable of performing:
- VHS Tapes to DVD: You can convert
- Vinyl Records to CD (clean up those scratches too!)
- Audio Cassette Tapes to CD (while getting rid of tape hiss, etc.)
- 35mm Slides to JPGs (negatives also)
- We have CD duplication equipment

No, we do NOT digitize 8mm or Super 8mm film. It requires special equipment.
No, we do not have people you can pay to do the conversions for you.
