Ian
A number of his own Super 8mm family films, including some with sound, copied to DVD.
"I am very glad for my family and I to be able see these films again. My projector was playing up and damaged one of the films, having them on DVD makes it much easier to view them."
Christine
16mm colour film of family life in the 1950s including 3 weddings, copied to DVD.
"Being able to transfer a snippet of my parents' wedding film footage, that's 50 years old, made them incredibly happy. They had not seen it in such a long time. The whole family was captivated by such precious memories of my aging parents during their happy youth. To see the twinkle of love in their eyes from long ago was just priceless, and affordable. Thank you."
Kristen
2 episodes of a television children's program from the 1980s on VHS video tape repaired and copied to DVD.
"The only copy of the tape of the shows in which my brother and I appeared had broken and I didn't want to risk further damage by trying to repair it myself. I was glad to be able to get it professionally repaired and have a copy to give to my brother and another to be able to show to my children."
Helen
On a cassette which Helen nearly threw out while sorting her mothers things after her passing, she found the only known recording of her mother playing the piano at a meeting which was also attended by a number of her mothers friends who have also now passed on. The clarity of the recording was restored and copied to CD.
"I am glad I found a way to save an audible memory of my mum and friends."
Helena
Copied a number of mini DV camera tapes and hard drive camera videos to DVD, the tapes were thought to not have any sound. The video files were also copied to a USB portable hard drive.
"The tapes from the first video camera we had of the kids growing up didn't seem to have any sound on them when we tried to play them back so we bought another camera that we were told would be better but we had no way of copying the video when it filled up. I was glad to find someone who knew how to solve both problems and to be able to make DVD copies we could be able to watch."
Michael
"Many thanks for the great work you did in transferring my 8mm and super 8mm movie films to DVD, some being over 40 years old.
Everyone who has seen the final product has been extremely impressed , as have my wife and I. The discs with menus, the disc case cover with menus printed on the back and 4 photos , one from each disc on the front, together with other printed information, is very well done.
Your personal and professional service and attention to detail has been second to none. I also know that the overall cost was very fair and reasonable. To be able to view 22 years of old family movies [ about 4 hours ] on TV in such an easy and orderly fashion is a luxury. I’m only sorry that I didn’t do it sooner.
Once again , many thanks and I’ve been told that you can expect visits from some of the younger members of our family in the near future, wanting their video cassettes transferred to DVD."
