📼 How to identify your tape

📼
VHS Full size — about the size of a paperback book. The most common format from the 80s & 90s. Labelled "VHS" or "T-120" · Black plastic shell
📼
VHS-C Compact VHS — about ⅓ the size of a VHS. Needs an adapter to play in a VCR. Labelled "VHS-C" · Small black cassette with flip-open shell
📹
Hi8 / Video8 / 8mm Small cassette, similar size to an audio cassette. You can see the metal reel through a window. Labelled "Hi8", "Video8" or "8mm" · Often silver & black
🎬
Mini DV Very small — about the size of a matchbox. Used in digital camcorders from the late 90s–2000s. Labelled "Mini DV" or "DVC" · Tiny silver cassette

    💡 Always keep a backup! Whatever format you choose, we recommend saving your digital files in at least two separate places.

    Why PommeIT?

    What makes us different from the rest.

    One person. No call centres.

    You deal directly with the person doing the work — not a receptionist, not a reseller. The same person answers the phone, does the job and follows it up.

    Straight talking, no jargon

    We explain what's wrong and what it'll cost in plain English. No upselling, no unnecessary extras, no padding the bill.

    No fix, no fee

    On data recovery and virus removal, if we can't solve the problem you pay nothing. We'd rather be honest than invoice you for failure.

    Apple & Mac specialists

    The name says it all. We have a genuine passion for Apple products and years of hands-on experience with Mac hardware and software.

    Genuinely local

    Based just outside Hobart, we're part of the same community we serve. Your problem matters to us — it's not a ticket in a queue.

    A family of services

    Need your old VHS tapes digitised too? Our sister company Nostalgix handles analog media with the same care and attention. One family, many skills.

    Pomme? Really?
    Oh yes.

    The name is a nod to the French for apple — because we've always preferred Apple-flavoured IT — and to the affectionate Australian nickname for people from England (of which I am one). A double pun. Not sorry.

    PommeIT is a one-person operation based just outside Hobart. No middlemen, no outsourcing — you deal directly with the person who actually knows what they're doing, every time.

    "An honest living from our work... not profit from our customers."
