Digiraw - Memory & Media Preservation

05/06/2026

Some family memories have four paws. Some have hooves.

Old home videos have a funny way of catching the moments we did not realise would matter so much one day.

A dog walking proudly beside the children at a village show. A horse being fussed over after a ride. A cat curled up on the sofa. A much-loved family pet appearing in the background of everyday life.

This photo of Snowy at a local village pet show is exactly why we created our new Pet & Animal Memories page.

Because they were never just pets. They were part of the family.

Many of those moments are still sitting on old DVDs and Blu-rays, tucked away in drawers and cupboards, waiting to be seen again.

DIGIRAW can convert those precious pet and animal memories to digital MP4, so they can be watched, shared and safely kept for the future.

Do you still have a way to play your old family DVDs?

For many families, the answer is quietly becoming “not really”.

DVD players are disappearing from homes. Laptops no longer include disc drives. Smart TVs rarely make it easy. And even when you do still have a player, old home-recorded DVDs can start to skip, freeze, or refuse to load without much warning.

That disc in the drawer may hold a wedding, a birthday, a school play, a holiday, a christening, or precious footage of someone no longer with us.

DIGIRAW converts home video DVDs and Blu-rays to digital MP4 files, so they can be watched, shared and safely backed up on modern devices.

Secure download is included, with optional USB available.

Trusted since 2012.

Preserve your family DVDs before the player disappears, or the disc stops playing.

Your wedding video deserves better than an ageing disc.

Many wedding DVDs and Blu-rays sit safely in a drawer for years, until one day they skip, freeze, refuse to load, or there is no longer an easy way to play them.

For many couples and families, that disc may be the only moving record of the day: the vows, the speeches, the first dance, the guests, the laughter, and the people who may no longer be with us.

Old home video DVDs have a habit of sitting quietly in drawers, cupboards and loft boxes for years.

Wedding DVDs. Birthday parties. School plays. Family holidays. Grandparents’ voices. Children growing up.

The problem is that DVDs do not always give much warning before they become difficult to play.

They may skip, freeze, refuse to load, or only work in one old machine, even when the disc looks perfectly fine.

Scratches, dust, ageing recordable layers, poor storage and unfinalised camcorder discs can all cause problems over time.

For many families, that DVD may be the only copy left.

If the footage matters, now is the time to protect it.

DIGIRAW converts home video DVDs into MP4 digital files, ready to watch on modern devices and easier to keep safe for the future.

DVDs do not last forever. Your memories can.

A fresh focus for DIGIRAW on Facebook.

Since 2012, we’ve helped families protect precious memories recorded on DVD - weddings, birthdays, holidays, school plays, family gatherings and once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Many of those discs are now sitting in drawers, cupboards and lofts. Some families no longer have a working DVD player. Some older discs are already becoming difficult to play.

DIGIRAW converts home video DVDs, wedding DVDs and family recordings to digital MP4 files, so they can be watched again, shared easily and safely kept for the future.

Every family needs a memory keeper.

Thinking about Plex? On a tight budget? Check out this great overview using a ten year old MacMini. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb9UpRBlYSM&t=443s

Maybe the key to media bliss is something lying around dusted and uncared for in the garage? Maybe it’s your grandpa’s old and trusted transistor radio? Okay...

Absolutely delighted with the review Steve in Buckingham left today. He wrote... I have nothing but praise for the excellent, professional and speedy service provided by Chris at Digiraw. This is how businesses should be run.
My 93 year old father-in-law had a number of DVDs with videos of past holidays. Unfortunately, he had not finalised the discs and no longer had the equipment used - they could not be played on any of his current drives/computer. (You can read the full review here https://g.co/kgs/F6gxRz )
