Film Transfer
Report
8mm, Super8, 16mm…Those old film reels carry some of the most precious memories that we hold dear. Time is of the essence, however, because every day that film is in storage it is deteriorating. Our film transfer process will give you a permanent digital archive of all your film, either on a thumb drive, external hard drive, or 100 year archival DVD. Our Premium process includes real time capture with the close attention of our technician who will adjust each scene to optimize lighting during the capture. Then, in post, we perform color correction to make sure that the color pallete of your digitized film is vibrant, authentic, and as originally intended. All of this is done by hand, in house!
Audio Transfer
Report
There is something magical about audio. Tapes and Discs can be a time machine: Old cassette mixtapes that remind you of days gone by; Reel to reel tapes that have voices on them you haven’t heard in many years; Musical performances from the past. Favorite LPs with performances that are unavailable in digital formats; important recordings of conversations on micro cassettes. We create permanent digital archives of your audio media. Our audio technicians are experts in capturing optimal sound from your LPs, 45s, 78s, cassette tapes, reel-to-reel tapes, and many other audio formats. You’ll get your audio archive back on a thumb drive, an external hard drive, or CDs.
Video Tape Transfer
Report
Your videotapes hold your most treasured memories: childhood milestones, sporting accomplishments, weddings, anniversaries, family history interviews, artistic performances, and on and on. Why would you risk loss or damage of those memories by mailing or shipping them? Why would you drop them off at a retail establishment or wholesale warehouse that knows nothing about digital archiving and just boxes them up and ships them on to another state or country for processing? Our videotape processing is done IN HOUSE by highly trained technicians that specialize and focus ONLY on preserving your videotape memories into a permanent digital archive. We handle ALL video tape formats…even old professional studio formats and international PAL formats. We can give your video archive back on a thumb drive, and external hard drive, or on 100 year archival DVDs.
DVD and Mini DVD Conversion to Digital Files
Report
Our video technicians are experts in extracting data from DVDs and MiniDVDs. This process allows the material from single discs or large disc archives to be converted to digital files that can be stored directly on computer hard drives, thumbdrives, external hard drives, or in the cloud. Many families and organizations have their important data and memories preserved on DVDs, so this is a logical next step to more permanently and flexibly store their archive. Please note: we don’t break copy protection, and we don’t convert copyrighted films from DVD to digital files.

I had a great experience with these guys and highly recommend them. I was entrusted with some film footage that needed to be duplicated and was totally clueless about the needed hard drives & confused about the files Someone from the store patiently explained everything via email and gave me links and recommendations. Their suggestions worked perfectly and the duplication was quick and reasonably priced. I will definitely be returning with more projects.

I used DVD Your Memories in Culver City in February 2020 to digitize over 500 slides. The results were fantastic (I did pay for upgraded quality). I recently used them again to digitize over 200 snapshots and old (very old) family photos. Again, the results were amazing. To be clear, and to use an old proverb, 'You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear'.
I knew that my somewhat blurry photos wouldn't suddenly become clear as a bell. My expectation for the best possible results, given the quality of the originals, were definitely met. I'm already planning to do a third set of photos. (for the snapshots, I ordered 600 dpi and for the slides, 3000 dpi). I can't speak to the other locations of DVD Your Memories. The Culver City location is wonderful.

The staff at DVD Your Memories are extremely helpful and professional. They are excellent at communicating and transferred many of my cassettes and VHS to DVDs and digital files. I surprised my parents with the copies of DVDs and my mom literally cried tears of joy watching them. I cannot thank them enough for helping me restore home videos that haven't been watched in decades.

I had 12 reels of Super-8 and 8mm film my stepfather took from the late 40s through the mid-1960s. I had no idea what the condition was. DVD Your Memories was able to transfer all of them to digital, cleaning up the film and adjusting both the color and the exposure so it was watchable across a huge range of issues on the old film. They also transferred three Mini-DV tapes to disk for me, again with no issues and excellent results. The customer service is great and highly responsive. The quality of the work is outstanding. I cannot recommend this business any higher. They deserve an 11!

During this time of Covid I have been going through old media and getting digitized. I had some old film negatives that others couldn't do and also an old reel to reel tape. I sent them to DVD your memories and was thrilled with the results. I did this all by mail and am extremely pleased at how quick they were. I highly recommend them

I am a retired cinematographer in Hollywood. I've done a lot of lab work in that time. The labs I work with were not set up to do 8 mm or super eight or I would use them. I use this company because they said they take pride in cleaning and color correcting of old footage. I'm talking about footage from the late 50s to the 60s. When I got my thumb drive of that footage, it was horrible.
The timing was such that I was going make DVDs and send them as Christmas gifts to my family back East There was no time for this company to try and fix it. I sadly assumed I would get fairly decent footage back. Boy was I wrong. Hopefully the company will stop sending me emails asking me to rate their work.

I brought in over 2000 print pix of different sizes and asked them to convert them to digital files. They gave me a quote and date. Having never done this before I had no real way of knowing if the price was fair. After doing some research I found out it was. I gave them the order and it was done by the date quoted. The pix were on a thumb drive and I was very pleased with the quality of the work.

After doing a tremendous amount of research, I recently chose DVD Your Memories to digitize 557 slides dating from the 1950's to late 1970's. I had previously had a few slides digitized locally, and the results were not wonderful, so my expectations were modest. However, everything about this experience was terrific. I telephoned the Culver City office and got patient and thorough answers to all of my questions.
When I dropped my slides off, the manager was helpful and professional. A few days ago, my slides, 2 CD's and a flash drive arrived. The results are beyond anything I might have wished for. The slides were carefully digitized and look wonderful. Once the COVID lockdown is over, I'll be sending in my even older family photos. Thank you, DVD Your Memories!

They are exceptional! They are so fantastic that they deserve ten stars! They converted 728 odd format old slides for me. They really saved me and made Christmas special for me and my family by rushing the order to be done early. My family and I had not seen these images in 45 years so it was such an incredible gift. Matthew did an excellent job scanning and made each image look amazing! Paul and Lance were always so kind and helpful on the phone and in person. I have a photo scanning project that I will bring to them next. I highly recommend them!

If 10 stars were an option I would so give this company 10. I had brought in a VERY mangled up cassette tape with really valuable information on it. After an attempt to fix it myself but no dice, I found this company just by googling. They were not only able to fix the whole tape but also transfer the audio to a DVD like it was recorded yesterday, so sharp. The staff is highly professional and skilled, very accommodating, friendly, to the point and, the compliments can go on. So Kudos Kudos.

I have used the services of DVD Your Memories on four different occasions. Each time the transfers were done is an excellent manner, at a reasonable cost and with timely completion. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and really are professional to a great degree. This is a first class facility and I give it my highest recommendation.

I brought in a total of about 20 cassettes and LP's to be digitized. The turn around time was even faster than promised and the quality of the files I received back was excellent. The staff went above and beyond with my order.outstanding customer service. This was my first time using the company. I highly recommend them.

Very pleased. Had selected a few of the hundreds of 35mm slides from my parent's house & needed to convert them to digital. I looked up several options (including doing it myself) and it was so expensive. Was thrilled to find DVD Your Memories. They were fast, friendly, efficient & reasonably priced. I dropped off 13 slides in the morning & returned that afternoon to pick-up the DVD. Everyone there was very pleasant to work with & they let me see what was on the DVD before paying and leaving

I brought in some very very very very battered cassette tapes from the late '80's of my college radio show to be transferred to CD. The quality I got back was amazing. My son thought he was actually listening to the "real" radio until he heard mom's voice back-announcing THE FALL, THE STRANGLERS, and COCTEAU TWINS. THANK YOU to everyone at DVD Your Memories! ROCK ON!

If you've got any kind of old media you need transferred to digital, these people will do the job. I recently had over 500 CDs converted to FLAC files so I could put my entire music collection up on iCloud / Apple Music Match. It worked great! I couldn't ask for any better service. They were also quite a bit cheaper than other places I looked for.

This is the Best business to use in LA when transferring video or different film formats to updated flash drives! We had a rush project for a Montage. DVD Your Memories responded quickly for a rush job and gave us a very fair price. We ended up in the end transferring fifteen years of family footage. They helped up upload to Drop Box and were most caring and professional! Bryan the manager was amazing! I wish we could give them more stars than five! If you need expertise, service, and fair price for video transfer needs look no further!

The Best. I was looking to transfer old home movies (going back to the 30's!) from VHS than create a video for my mom's memorial using some of that extensive footage and photos I had digitized going back to the late 20's. And all put to selected music. With less than 2 weeks to go before the memorial. This company was recommended by a colleague. They were beyond accommodating and professional. Even my friend, a well known music editor, who came with me to help incorporate the music was impressed! Highly recommend!
