We're a privately owned Australian company that's been serving the media community for over 30 years.

At our core we are a media company. We have a detailed understanding of the content and broadcast industry from pre-production through to distribution.  Our company is uniquely positioned between the people who create the content and the broadcasters and distributors of that content.  We know the business, we know the people, and we have the systems and capabilities to drive the technological changes.

As a company, we have adapted and evolved in sync with an ever-changing media and technology landscape.  Video-8 is unique in the marketplace in that we combine traditional film and television skills with digital know-how in a company that is a natural service provider to producers, broadcasters and distributors alike. 

We currently find ourselves at the most exciting point in Video-8’s long history.

Our ground breaking new range of Media Asset Management services is altering the landscape once again.

We now have an even greater capacity to deliver our customers a significant and quantifiable financial and market advantage in the online world.

What we do

Put simply, we place our extensive media handling, post facilities and distribution capabilities in your hands to use as if they were your own.

We do this by using the extensive skills we have in both media and information technology to create an invisible online connection between your business and our facilities.

You can have faith that the content and its quality will be preserved indefinitely and you and your customers will have extraordinary tools to access and exploit that content in the on-line world.

Our facilities are available to you as a “utility” service.  You pay for them as you use them, saving you the expense and time of creating your own, and letting you maximize your focus on the use and exploitation of your content.

We are able to capture, prepare, digitise, store, manage and deliver content to and from any location, across Australia or across the globe.

We believe we perform these services better and more cost effectively than anyone in the marketplace.

We combine our long term media experience with legitimate IT expertise to provide all the benefits of new business models in today’s connected and online world.
