When I decided to spend big bucks to get them digitized, I sent sample reels to 3 vendors and checked their results and cost estimates. I chose Digital Express for the quality, fair pricing, and a sense that owner, Jim, was actually going to care about those irreplaceable films. My decision was the right one, although I had second, third, and fourth thoughts as I handed the package of 50 reels to the post office for shipment to Florida. Jim digitized the entire batch flawlessly and stored the 160 GB of resulting .avi files on a portable hard drive I sent him. The playback quality is at least as good as I remember it sitting in a darkened room while the movies were projected on a beaded home movie screen decades ago. Jim pre-cleans the film and color corrects the output for optimal results. This is the place to trust with your valued memories. Since Jim charges only for the actual footage he scans, and skips blank leader frames, the final price came out lower than the initial estimate -- a sure sign of an ethical vendor. NOTE -- there are different methods for digitizing movies. The simplest method is basically to project them on a screen and shoot a video of that display. Those results are far inferior to the better technique of scanning EACH AND EVERY movie frame and assembling the results into a video file. Digitizing all those reels wasn't cheap, but I'm glad I took the financial leap. It's the closest I'll ever get to having a time machine. Now I'm busy sharing the files with members of my excited family.

Rafael even called to advise which sections of the DVDs were not transferring well (from damage on my end) so there were no surprises of missing footage.

Highly recommend for your precious moments.

This is certainly not the biggest studio in town, which is why they are able to make it very affordable for the artist to lay down tracks and fully produce a professionally mastered CD. Their affordable rates allow you to spend as much time as you need to work on your project. They are the ideal place for Bands, Musicians, Singers and Corporate Jingle Composers to get a professional sounding product in a very comfortable and welcoming environment. I love these folks!!!
