Our Services
Don’t let your memories degrade. We specialize in high-fidelity transfers of magnetic tape formats. Using professional-grade equipment, we capture the highest quality image and sound possible, correcting for time-based errors and degradation. Price is $30.00 per tape, with discounts on bulk orders. Non-VHS formats incur an additional $10 per tape.
Recovering the "unreadable." CD-ROMs and DVDs are prone to "disc rot" and scratching. We utilize advanced reading methods to extract data and video from optical media that standard computers often reject. Price is $15.00 per disc, with discounts on bulk orders.
A comprehensive approach to preservation. For film reels and other specialized formats, we manage the entire restoration process. We also offer long-term digital archival consulting to ensure your files remain accessible for decades to come. Price is $15.00 per tape or disc, with discounts on bulk orders.
Guardians of the Light
Cosmic Light Media was born from a desire to protect the stories that shape us. Originally established as a production house, we recognized a more urgent need: the rapid disappearance of our analog history.
We pivoted our focus entirely to restoration and preservation. We believe that every tape, reel, and disc holds a spark of light worth saving. Our mission is to ensure that personal histories, artistic works, and cultural artifacts are not lost to the decay of physical media.
Our Vision: We view preservation as a sacred trust. By combining technical expertise with a deep respect for the source material, we are building a foundation for future generations to access the past.
Save Your Archives
Every collection tells a unique story, and every restoration project requires a custom approach. Whether you have a single reel or a basement full of tapes, we are here to help you preserve it.

Who we are
The mission of Cosmic Light Media began with a mystery in a cardboard box.
Some time ago, I acquired a collection of rare Japanese Betamax and VHS tapes - forgotten recordings of Japanese television from decades past. I was holding a literal time capsule, ready to unlock a specific moment in history. I fired up my standard equipment, eager to see what was inside.
But the signal wouldn't hold.
The hardware I had at the time - standard consumer gear - couldn't handle the aging magnetic tape. The image rolled, the colors dropped, and some tapes refused to play at all. I watched, heartbroken, as these ghosts of the past flickered and vanished into static. I realized then that standard digitization wasn't enough. If I wanted to save this history, I needed to treat it with the professional respect it deserved.
That experience was the turning point for Cosmic Light Media.
I realized that if I felt this loss over tapes of strangers, how much more devastating would it be for families to lose the only footage of their parents, their weddings, or their childhoods?
I immediately pivoted my operations. I invested in professional-grade signal processing, time-base correctors, and broadcast-quality decks designed to capture signals that standard VCRs miss.
Today, Cosmic Light Media exists to ensure that when you press 'Play' on your memories, the screen doesn't go dark. We capture history before it fades forever.
