About DIGIRAW

Preservation, not just conversion

Since 2012

DIGIRAW was built on a simple belief: media should not disappear simply because formats change.

Long before streaming became standard, I was preserving my own film and music collections, not copying for the sake of it, but preserving them properly. Ensuring they remained organised, accessible and future-ready.

As media systems evolved, it became clear that physical formats would continue to hold value, but only if they were prepared properly for modern playback environments.

DIGIRAW was created to do exactly that.

From Curiosity to Specialism

What began as technical curiosity developed into focused expertise.

Over the past two decades, I have worked extensively with home media systems, digital library structures and archival workflows. I understand how metadata affects long-term usability, how file preparation impacts stability, and how poor organisation creates problems years later.

In 2012, after running a multi-million-pound security ID company, I dedicated myself fully to media preservation at a specialist level.

Since then, DIGIRAW has supported:

  • Homeowners safeguarding personal video memories
  • Film collectors with curated libraries
  • Classical music collectors preserving extensive CD archives
  • AV integrators and luxury residences
  • Superyachts and private aircraft
  • Charities, schools and institutional archives

Each project is handled deliberately and directly, with precision, discretion and long-term reliability in mind.

Preservation with Accountability

DIGIRAW is not a volume ripping operation.

It is a controlled studio environment where discs are:

  • Individually prepared
  • Carefully structured
  • Accurately tagged
  • Delivered for stable, long-term playback

The objective is not simply to convert media. It is to preserve it properly.

A Personal Standard

This is not an outsourced operation.

Every order is handled with care.

Clients trust DIGIRAW with:

  • Personal memories
  • Rare film collections
  • Institutional training archives
  • Discreet private libraries
That trust is earned through consistency, clarity and care.

The Studio

DIGIRAW operates from a purpose-built studio in Devon (England), serving clients across the UK and internationally.

Memory. Library. Archive.

Whether safeguarding personal memories or curating an archive, every collection deserves deliberate preparation from the outset.
