As the Owner/Found of San Diego Audio Video, I got my start in this field, where else? San Diego State University, with a BS degree in Film and Television. Radio being a strong interest for me, I then picked up eight years knowledge with a national radio syndicator, Peters Productions, as Operations Manager, while concurrently earning six years part-time experience at KSDO as a Director in their Gannett-owned, News/Talk organization.

A few years ago I got married and went through all of the craziness and steps of planning our own wedding. My wife and I hand selected each of our vendors, personally met with DJs, photographers, florists, and caterers etc. Much like what you are going through. We hand crafted our wedding favors, took care of all the invitations and Save the Dates on our own.
Let us take your photos and build a slideshow for you so that your photos play through like a video. We love to customize these and add music, special effects, text, and video clips as well. Photos alone are great, but if you want them to play automatically, with nice motion and style, then let us put together a nice slideshow for you.

I found these guys online & was super impressed with their service & follow up from the moment I called. I had a very last minute request that they were able to accommodate under a time crunch. They turned around the video I needed in hours. They are knowledgeable, fast & the experts in San Diego! Don't hesitate to reach out.

I have used these folks twice including today. They were great to do business with the first time but today was a grand slam. I've had a stroke and my computer skills are basically non existent. They went so far above and beyond the task I walked in to have them perform. It was the most pleasant interaction I have had with a business in memory.

Recently, one of the Big 7 publishers booked me into San Diego Audio Video to record an audiobook. The studio was easy to locate, had plenty of parking and Ryan along with his entire staff was friendly and helpful. The engineer, Deborah, did a fantastic job relieving me of the normal stress associated with recording at home. I would definitely recommend San Diego Audio Video for anyone seeking a professional audio/video studio to help produce a quality product. Thanks Ryan and Deborah!

I'm a professional videographer/ photographer and have used San Diego Audio Video on several occasions. They are awesome! Ryan and the team make the process super easy to get difficult technology issues handled. They've created client music CDs, conversion to DVD, duplicated client DVDs for a documentary I created, amongst other projects. I highly recommend the level of service and quality that San Diego Audio Video provides at an excellent cost. Give them a call today!

I took in some 16mm film for DVD conversion. "Sure, no problem, that's what we do. Schedule estimate, 6-8 days, we'll call you." No word after two weeks, so I called them. We're busy, give us another week. No word for three weeks, so I stopped by. They hadn't done anything. We need more time. I pressed the issue, and they admitted their equipment was not working and had no idea when they would finish, but assured me their competitors are even slower than they are.
The manager wouldn't even leave his office to speak with me, let his employee take the grief. I know BS when I hear it, so I just took back my film and deposit, took it to Sunray off Miramar Road, perfect job complete in 3 days. I know where I'll go first next time.

There's not too many shops around that can convert old memories on film into digital files you can take with you everywhere, so I'm very thankful for SDAV and their services! I was helped by both Claudia and Kaz and their service was extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend coming to them for digital transfers or for video production needs!

I cannot say enough about Carlo! The first thing I will say that he is one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure knowing. He is cheerful, positive, kind and willing to make you happy with your photographs, which is so important for special events or occasions. He is also professional, prompt, creative, thoughtful, organized and has a great eye for capturing beautiful images.
I got the "A little-something package" and couldn't be happier with the way my images turned out. Overall a wonderful experience, and will be using Carlo again in the future.

Found San Diego Audio & Video online and chose them to convert a twenty-two year old VHS to a DVD. I was thrilled with the $20 quote since Walgreens charges $35. When I arrived I was offered a special to have two hours of VHS video converted to DVD for $10! (Walgreens charges $9.99 just for the DVD). Was told 3-5 business days but they called in two business days. Overall great service and highly recommend.

Took some 8mm film that i found while packing up my mom's belongs when she passed to be transferd to dvd and what a horrible job. Not only where they so dark you could barely make out forms i was charged FULL price for the total feet in film NOT what was actually used on the reel. Staff at counter during drop off was hurried and didnt explain the process or if they offered any "restoration" service, said it would take 7 days had to call after 8 days and they hadn't even started on them.was told they had alot of workers call in with personal issues.
Yeah that was a waste of $50 with SDAV. Took the same reels to Costco and what a difference, i got 7 reels transfered with 2 dvds (at no extra charge) from costco for $60 and they cleaned the film and brightened it too.

This place is a straight forward service. The building is standard, nondescript. The people that work there are very dry but professional. The service they provide is why I go there. For a reasonable fee they will transfer old media like VHS tapes into DVD's. They also work as a recording studio and do other multimedia like wedding videos. Not sure how much they charge for those other services but I am sure they are also reasonable in price.
I am pretty happy with the service they provide. I would recommend them for transferring all your old media into DVD's. They are dependable and the turn around time is not long usually one week. Give them a try.

I had a great experience with the team at SDAV. I needed 160 DVD's burned, stamped and placed in white envelopes with a same day turnaround. I called the day before I brought in the master DVD to see if they could do a fast turnaround and they committed to getting the project completed. Ryan and team lived up to their verbal agreement and I had the DVD's right on time! I would highly recommend SDAV! I definitely plan to go back to them for future mass DVD burning needs.

These guys are great - maybe not the cheapest in town, but great consistent service and quality products. I bought several cases of CD jewel cases here and they always remember me by name and are quick to help out. When I'm in they always seem to be bustling with projects they are working on -- duplication, tape to DVD transfers, etc.
