Your archive is an asset.We treat it like one.
MediaMine migrates, manages and monetizes media collections. Film, videotape, audio, prints, negatives and documents come in fragile and undocumented — and leave as catalogued digital assets you can preserve, search and license.

The MediaMine team works with each client to streamline operations while reducing costs, maximizing efficiencies and designing revenue-generating strategies for untapped and under-developed library resources.

Collectively, the MediaMine team has over 100 years of entertainment industry experience in the creative, technical and media asset disciplines.

In addition to media companies, MediaMine is the perfect digital media asset management partner for academic, museum, corporate and government collections.
Start from what you have — or from what you need.
Most conversations begin one of two ways: an organization holding material it can no longer play, or a producer who needs a specific piece of history cleared and delivered.
I have a collection.
For holders of film, tape, audio and paper.
Transfer, restoration and archiving with documented handling — plus the metadata that makes a collection usable instead of merely stored.
- Video & audio tape capture and up-conversion
- Tape restoration: baking, cleaning, rebuilding
- Asset-manager ingest, LTO archive and retrieval
- Transcription, captioning and metadata
I need footage.
For producers, editors and brand teams.
We represent libraries of comedy, music, sport and Hollywood ceremony — including material that has not circulated widely. Tell us the scene; we will tell you what exists.
- Comedy and late-night libraries
- Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremonies
- Athletes before they were professionals
- Clip research, clearance and delivery
From fragile originals to accessible digital assets.
Disciplines run in sequence or on their own. Every job is scoped against the condition of the carrier and the way you intend to use the material afterwards.
All services, in detailVideo & Audio
Tape CaptureDigital file encoding/Tape up-conversion/File up-conversion
Obsolete and at-risk formats captured to current file-based standards, with the signal path and settings recorded so the transfer can be trusted years from now.
Tape
RestorationBaking/Cleaning/Rebuilding
Video and audio tape that sticks, sheds or will not thread is treated and physically rebuilt before capture — recovering material that a single bad pass would have destroyed.
Archival
ServicesAsset-manager ingest/LTO archive/Retrieval
Files ingested into the asset-management platform you work in, with LTO archiving and retrieval so the master stays safe while access copies do the daily work.
Metadata
ManagementTranscription/Closed captioning/Description
Transcription, closed captioning and structured description — the layer that turns a shelf of digital files into a library a researcher, editor or licensee can actually search.
Iconic content. Lasting impact.
We represent and license libraries across comedy, music, sport and Hollywood ceremony — and we handle the research, clearance and delivery so a production can move.
