A V Workshop - EURO VIDEO

I always bring my vhs home movies here to get digitized. I appreciate it so much and hope everyone gets a kick out of the creative (side eye) horror films I made back in the day when I was 8 in the 90s.

Love this place. Scott is a great guy and does excellent work VHS, 8mm, mini DV, S-VHS, VHS-C, film.you name it. Scott can do it.

Wow these guys are rude! I was very much hoping to do business with a local vendor, so I spent time on their website creating a quote, then called to clarify a few questions that I couldn't find answers to on the site. When I started to describe my project, I got as far as saying "the film is Super 8 from my wife's family" and the guy interrupted and impatiently snapped "what's your question?".

I asked a couple of my questions then he blurted out "how many feet do you have?" which I would have told him if he had just listened. There are lots of players in this industry, so buh-bye! I will never do business with this guy.

Forever thankful to Audio Video Workshop. I had a 8MM film that my father gave me years ago, I never had the opportunity to see what was inside since I didn't have the projecting equipment. Workshop converted it to MP4 and it was footage of my mother taking us to the beach in Hong Kong back in 1979. My mother was young and beautiful then, I am glad I was able to share this video with her now that she is 70 years old. Please know that you are providing a valuable service to the community. Thank you for all your help.

Various 16mm film from the 50's, 60's and 70's converted to MP4. Good results and delivered on time!

This outfit was simply remarkable. A 30-year-old professionally recorded original song, formerly imprisoned on an ancient cassette tape, became a crystal clear MP3 file playable on my iPhone. And an hour-long video similarly imprisoned on a DAT, now a digital file viewable on all my devices. Fast, friendly, hyper-efficient service to cap it all off. Highly recommend these guys for all your analog to digital AV needs!

I had to create a Yelp account just to write this review! Scott is such an amazing person. I had my engagement right before the shutdown with COVID. My videographer gave me the complete video via email. I downloaded it and took it to Walmart. I was excited about the customization options and getting my final copy. I had requested 5 HD DVD's. After weeks of waiting for the videos, I was devastated with the results.

My party was recorded in HD, but with the transfer, it was so bad that the scenes were blurred. The quality was unbearable to watch. I couldn't find anywhere that could give me the quality the original video was. I called Scott in tears. He assured me that he will be able to fix the issue. In such a short time, he made me 4 Blu-ray's and 1 DVD. I'm so happy with his service. You pay more than Walmart but it's definitely worth it. You won't be disappointed with his work!

It's expensive, but they do a good job. I had two 43-year-old reel-to-reel tapes of a music recital, and they put them on a CD with one track for each tape (each was 30-40 minutes long), and the sound quality was excellent even without noise reduction. No mistakes, or bobbles or glitches. I was initially led to believe that turnaround time would be 4 weeks, which would have gotten the results in time to make the CD into a Christmas present, but when I got the formal invoice it said 7 weeks. Oh well, late present. Even then it was a couple days early.

My in-laws filmed quite a few reels from the time they got married and while their kids were growing up. My husband didn't want them taken to just any place. He wanted someone who would take the time to do a frame-by-frame transfer. AV Workshop did that and also touched up the videos (I believe they used Adobe products). The videos came out bright, clear and incredibly special.

They will hands down be the best Christmas gift we've ever given my brother-in-law. We've also been sharing clips with cousins, who are touched to see Christmases and memories from their childhood. Thanks, AV Workshop! You made our whole family happy.

We entrusted my dad's 16mm home movies to Scott and he did a great job. The movies were dated from 1934 to 1979 and had been sitting in my closet in a paper bag for decades. We were thrilled at the relatively crisp and clear end product. Absolutely no comparison to the blurry, faint images we got from Costco on our 8mm movies. After seeing the Costco results, it was important to me to find a place where the process was professional and would actually scan the film reels frame by frame rather than the cheaper process of projecting the film onto a screen (or wall! who knows?) and shooting the projected movie with a phone or something!

The difference is pretty dazzling. One caveat: Scott gave us a flash drive with two gigantic 27-gig files instead of the 50+ individual movies we were expecting. I now have many hours of work ahead of me splitting those files into individual movies so I can shuffle them into consecutive order and get them to my family members (cousins on my mother's side are not much interested in movies of cousins on my father's side and vice versa).

So if you give him a lot of reels and it's important to you to have them in individual files -- mention it up front! One reel, which was a color movie my dad took of the 1939 Exposition on Treasure Island, somehow came out in "mirror image" so all the signage was backwards, etc. Scott went through it and flipped it back for me *after* we had already picked up the movies and paid for them. He sent me that reel in a dropbox. Very nice. I highly recommend this shop.

If you are looking to do any video or film transfers, this may be your only option in the peninsula and South Bay. They handled my difficult order and completed it in a timely manner. They can do transfers from most formats and deliver on most media. They are very professional and trustworthy. They will take care of your precious media.

5 star review for excellent and personalized service and attention to detail even in this time of COVID. Scott is diligent, fair, and does consistently professional work. All materials are kept on site securely and drop off/pick up is smooth and safe. (although I understand mail delivery option is available as well). I have worked with this business for many years and am a satisfied customer.

Rude! Talked to them on the phone and my gosh they are rude. I asked simple questions and instead of being nice about it, the guy that answered was short and not helpful. Never go here or bring service because honestly their service sucks! Quick advice to you "Audio Video Workshop", you should find a new job because customer service is part of this field, and is certainly not you forte! Absolute garbage!

A/V Workshop is a very professional organization and they provide excellent customer service. I recommend them. That said, be sure that they can provide the service you need before you decide to work with them. I found out after paying them for services that they can't do what I need because they don't specialize in Macs and don't really have the equipment to work with old Mac formatted floppy discs.

I wish I had known that beforehand. Talk frankly with Scott about your expectations beforehand. He is a very reasonable and open guy and will earnestly discuss your project with you. Am I frustrated? Yes. On the other hand, does av workshop work hard to provide a valuable service? Yes. I would work with them again in the future but would ask a lot more questions first.

This place was awesome - they were able to digitize my family's baby photos and send them back to me within one week of mailing my album to them. They were consummate professionals and incredibly accommodating. I can't wait to use them again!

These guys digitized a couple of movies I found in my parents' basement. I wasn't sure what they were and decided to take a gamble--and it turned out it was 80-year-old footage of my mother, her sister, and other family members. Priceless. Excellent quality, and they finished the job far more quickly than their estimate.

Very happy with the quality and reliability and professionalism! Everything is done in-house. Prices are fair for the quality. Original media is cleaned and conditioned. Analog is upgraded to digital format and colorization retouch is optional. Highly recommend. I had seven VHS tapes upgraded.

Scott and his team are dependable, easy to work with and very transparent. I used their services for a conversion project to migrate from DVDs to Flash drives and was left delighted. Would highly recommend, look no further for your Audio/Video services needs - more strength to local businesses like them.

I went in to see if they could transfer two Wedding tapes that I needed for the following weekend. Scott at first explained he was shorthanded and it would be 2-3 weeks, when I stressed to him I needed them for Friday he said he would try and get it done. Sure enough he called me on Thursday saying he would have them ready on Friday at 2:PM. He Did have them ready. I would definitely recommend Scott but next time I will allow more time on my part. Thanks Scott Ron C.

I highly recommend Audio Video Workshop for your professional photo scanning services. They are busy and have a lot of business, but Scott was able to help me get some pictures ready for a funeral service. They were able to scan my black and white photos from the 1950's and fix the many blemishes. The pictures came out GREAT! Scott was so kind to help us and rush my small job through.

The pictures he fixed and scanned for us made the family very happy during a very sad time. They are also very reasonably priced. The minimum price for a job was more than fair for my 8 very important pictures from the 1950's. Thank you again, Scott and crew!
