VHS to DVD and other transfer services

veggieblob

I would like to really recommend http://www.revivestudios.co.uk/ .
I wanted to get an old family VHS tape (originally from cine film!)copied to dvd for my mum for Christmas. I was googling around to find out how to use the Boots service (£19.99) when I found this site. They only charged £6.99 and as I have 2 copies of the VHS I thought I would give them a try, ordering 3 copies for the price of 1 at Boots.
To cut a long story short I received fantastic value. You can choose a "theme" for the dvd cover and not only that, they picked out a few frames and printed them on the cover too! You can name the disc what you like.
I did ask them a couple of questions - 1 by email and one by phone and both were answered immediately.
I am nothing to do with Revive but was so impressed with them I wanted to recommend. Wish I could put them on the Grabbit board but I think I might get flamed for that!
Thanks for reading
Sue
ps if this is in the wrong place, sorry - just move it!

that is a really good price - where my mum looked for this service was quoted £45!
has anyone else used this company too? need to get my videos changed to dvd but little nervous of sending them off to a company in the post because they are irreplaceable if lost

Veggieblob Can i say a big thank you for posting this. I was only talking to my husband the other day about some videos that we have of our son that i would have to bin as we didnt have a video player. Never did i think about seeing if places put them on a disc, and normally im not that dumb.

So a big thank you, am going to send mine off (after christmas) and it will be lovely to look at my son when he was a baby. (hes now a strapping 6ft 18 yr old :rotfl:cant wait to show him either)

Thanks, I know how you feel. The stuff I had transferred was originally cine film of me and my sister from age about 3 to 23 and I'm 58 now! It all seems somehow safer on dvd than it did on tape! So glad this helped someone.

Thanks so much for this OP!! We were only talking the other week about how to get our home videos of our sons transferred onto DVD - there used to be a little place local to me that did cine film to video, but they went out of business some years ago, and I have not been able to find a similar local service! The place you recommend sounds really good value

Hi. I felt the same even though I did have a spare copy. They do a collection service but you would have to pay for it. I would suggest phoning them - you do get a real person on the phone and maybe they can suggest something. I definitely wouldn't post anything precious until after Christmas and better weather though!
