We priced out a few VHS to USB transfer companies and were informed from various people not to send our priceless VHS family memories through the mail.
After a diligent online search we found a company called Forever Studios with excellent reviews on Yelp and Google. We called them directly to obtain information on their product, process and pricing. The customer service was helpful and we brought our twenty VHS and CAM video tapes to their Boca Raton office the next day.
The business was located right off Clint Moore Rd in a warehouse business complex with plenty of up front parking. There were customers inside the small showroom but only waited about five minutes and met with the sales person, Gaby. She easily explained the process to transfer my twenty videos to a USB which would permit me with versatile use of my old family videos. The only upsell was the basic Standard definition to High definition. Also, there was a four to six week time frame for a finished product or pay an extra $75.00 for an "Order Rush" for a guarantee completion within seven days, both were worth the price. They also offer custom framing for acrylic and canvas photos.
Gaby took us on a tour of their production room where an entire wall of active VHS machines were in the process of transferring memories and other videos to USB. Loved the old film projectors in the back of the store, which brought back memories of the old days. Basically, it was a big room of video nostalgia.
The finished product was ready to pick up in four days and paid $370.00 for 20 videos including the upgrades. We brought home the USB popped it into our computer and watched our 20 - 30 year old family videos for several hours. The definition was exactly what was expected and easily transferred the videos to our desktop and drop box and transferred them to other family members.
Highly recommend this business and will be back soon to transfer more. read more
