- This video goes over some of the many many many problems that all these cheap crappy online advertising video and film to digital companies that are advertising on Facebook Instagram, offering cheap pricing, attractive, marketing with an easy ordering system, where they send you a box and you put all of your old aging family memories inside, ship it off and hopefully it all comes back looking perfect Which is not the case and couldn’t be further from the truth. You absolutely get what you pay for in this industry and I have been digitizing media for the past 20 years and since these companies like legacy box, size 3, I am memories and many others have popped up standards have gone to the gutter it’s become a money hungry profit, driven industry and they found the matrix for still making profit from digitizing media that needs a lot of care and attention to detail to produce quality video and audio files and instead of them taking the time to fix these problems, they don’t they just put stickers on tapes telling you that your digital copy is bad because your tape is bad or if there’s any slight imperfection in the tape which is extremely common if it’s been stored in garage is attics and they collected for many decades it’s going to have potential problems, which any ethical company would overcome but these companies a gain a profit driven and have investors to answer for so keeping price is low. Gives them the excuse to not digitize things and they still keep your money most of the time if you are shopping around to get this done you do not go to the lowest bidder and you do not go anywhere near these sweatshop transfer mills, they are bad news and will more than likely end up in drama. They constantly lose tapes mixup tapes with all the customers tapes erase tapes 6 months turnaround time no answers to emails phone calls and it just becomes a ton of drama. Do you want this done correctly professionally conscientiously with heart you must choose a company that has unbelievably outstanding reviews hopefully a UA-cam channel on how to overcome all the many common problems and videotape so you’ve got confidence that if your video tape isn’t perfect that they know how to rectify the issue granted some tapes were recorded, poorly originally from defective camcorders or damage due to environmental elements. Are you storage floods hurricanes in the likes, but you have to know that the person on the other end that you’re paying has the intelligence experience and heart to try their best to get these images back from the brink.

I'm subscribed now, this is fantastic info.
I've got my own little local scanning biz. I scan in moldy tapes all the time, lol. I have had maybe a dozen and a half gigs. The largest one being 77 film reels, and another was 54 vhs tapes.
I give them unlisted UA-cam Playlist so they can watch the progress, and then a usb stick.
I still need to spread my ads around the town. I'm glad you hear about your personalization, bc I'm the same!! I end up learning their family's and seeing all their milestones. So then I'm texting them to say "go check out the Playlist, i just put 3 more up!" And also I tell them when I'm experiencing issues.
Fantastic to hear! Let me know your business name and location! I refer people in the local areas to passionate, high quality transfer businesses!
This is a great exposing the hypocrisy of the big BOX companies video. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You’re welcome!
Hey I went to your site and don't meet the criteria for your minimum (2 mini DV tapes) who would you recommend for just 2 tapes?
Try Memory Lane Media in PA.
They do great work & have a $200 min.
@gotmemories thanks for your reply, I only have 2 tapes though, I'll see if there's anything else I can dig up, thanks again! Have a great day. And loved your video, I will subscribe 😃
THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THERE SEVES
Amen! Horrible.
i have tapes that need a Time Base Corrector, and sharpened, so they aren't so blurry. I had a few almost 40 year old video tapes digitized here in Las Vegas. The results could be better at $30 per tape. Are there any places out there that go the extra mile in digitizing family memories on VHS? It seems that these places that do the digitizing are using a $9 Easy Cap device that they bought off Ebay, and freeware OBS Studio editing software. I need sophisticated equipment, like JVC S-VHS VCR's with a TBC, and excellent editing software.
Lots can be done, just depends on your budget. If you’re looking around for top end work like you’re mentioning, be prepared to pay someone $500 per finished hour of footage.
@@gotmemories So you would charge that?
All depends. Not something I advertise but you might from some AV houses around the country that cater to production companies that will.
@@wright96d hi. what is vhs-decode?
@@wright96d hi. so what is the advantage of this?
7:35 -7:37 You said the name of both my parents right next to each other...which kind of freaked me out....Plus my mother's name is also Mother Nature of Jesus's name... which would be Mary..
Freaky!
I just paid more than that for untracked, poor quality, poor sound digital copies. No tracking. Unbelievable
Immediately file a claim with your credit card company.
How can you find enough hours in the day to do a complete job and run your business?
Honestly, tell me about it! I don’t know.
@@gotmemories sounds like you could do with hiring one really good employee who can just pick up the slack and keep the few odd plates spinning that you miss.
@@97SEMTEXhaha! Yes I could do with some solid help but I’ve had as many as 5 full time staff at any given time many years back and since I divorced myself from the chains of payroll every two weeks and all the drama anx associated with staff, I don’t mind the workload 😂
@@gotmemories thats fair, you are a smart guy, you know what you are doing!
I want to work for / with you. I've always been a stickler for quality over quantity. I have a JVC SVHS machine that I keep in a plastic bag, just for doing transfers for friends. My Sharp HI-8 camcorder stripped a gear, so it doesn't work anymore :(
👍
What is the strangest format a customer asked you about? And what is the most common format? And, how many normal peope have 3/4" UMatic? Any Beta people?
I get a decent amount of Umatic. Very little Betamax. I hate the format. So glitchy and almost always has 4hrs on a tape.
Sometimes people have 2” video tape from 1950’s.
hi where are the betacam sp decks i know the heads are getting killed with the load of work i know about this game it's better to have copy of the video on 1/2 data
