They did an excellent job! The transfer of my vhs camcorder cassette to dvd looks great, and I had good email updates throughout the process to know where it was at.

I highly recommend Capture for VHS to DVD transfers. They do quality work. The music they use to showcase certain footage enhances the quality and the memories.

It was amazing what you did to digitize my 40 year old movies. They appear to be better than the original movie itself. Picture quality is very sharp and crisp.

They did a nice job for a reasonable price. It was nice to finally get the 8mm films and slides converted to DVDs.

This means so much to me – you don't know. My dad was a movie taker, and now it's me who is passing along the tradition.
