Media technology has developed in leaps and bounds over the past few decades and the year 2025 is showing no signs of that slowing down at all.
At DiskBank, we have been working hard to live up to our industry reputation for offering the highest quality of film, video, image and audio file transfers into digital formats. From custom physical media production, such as CD, DVD and Blu-Ray production, to our newest transfer services, when we look at the year that was 2024, it is amazing how much not just technology for high-quality media conversions is evolving, but how much the demand for such conversions is increasing.
Let’s take a look back at some of the most in-demand services from customers we noticed over the last year and see what industry trends those patterns indicate.
The Most Popular Transfer Services in 2024
1. Video to Digital or DVD Transfer
Our first and leading trend is not in the least bit surprising.
More and more Australians are coming round to the fact that the digital age is well and truly here. Legacy formats, such as VHS, Betamax and MiniDV, are simply not going to re-emerge in a wave of nostalgia like music records have.
Instead, the demand for video digitisation and, therefore, the digital immortalisation of precious memories continues to grow. Many families have copious old home videos that they are looking to preserve. Generations that grew up using these legacy video formats are now decluttering their homes or looking to downsize and need to face what to do with the sentimental content.
Even businesses who have archived footage need to find a way to preserve their old content as they continue to shift permanently and irrevocably to exclusively digital and cloud-based video.

2. Custom USB Drive Creation
Life and business move fast in the 21st century and it’s about to get a whole lot faster! Handy USB portable storage devices, sometimes referred to as thumb drives, are practical for carrying around files you need or backing up important information in case of emergency.
At DiskBank, custom USB drive creation continues to prove to be among our most popular services. Of course, an aesthetically well designed and functional USB branded with your company logo is a fantastic giveaway gift for employees or customers/clients alike. Branded USBs are always in demand at conferences and exhibitions and are an easy, economical way of effectively marketing a business.
Even artists, musicians and creatives distribute digital content with easy-to-order and affordable custom USB drives all pre-loaded with their demo, portfolio, tracks or data information.
Do you need custom USB drive creation?
Whether you are a business or just a single individual, our custom USB solutions can be tailored to your needs. Plus, make sure to ask us about our eco-friendly materials – they are just as good for the environment as they are nice to look at and easy to use!
3. Film to Digital Transfer
Film, such as Super 8, 16mm or 35mm film, is unfortunately subject to decay and degradation over time. As film technology becomes more and more outdated, the demand for digitising the content on it becomes more and more urgent.
Over the last year, film digitisation has become more and more in demand. With the DiskBank team’s help, customers can safely store their old films in the cloud or hard drives, share the memories with friends and family via email and messages, or upload to social media. Without effective digitisation, this old, invaluable footage would not be shareable and would become less accessible over time.
Modern digital conversion tools have actually progressed to the point where the most professional scanners’ performance produces film transfers of such high quality that future technology will no longer surpass what we can do today.
