Photo Scanning Service

Testimonials

Good Morning,

I wanted to write to say an enormous thank you for the excellent work you completed so quickly on my precious photographs. I am more than pleased with them all and have spent the last couple of days looking at them. I will now start cataloging them for the boys. I am more than impressed with your customer care and efficiency and will have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends and family. I will start the clearing of the loft in the New Year and may need to be in touch again as Im sure there are more photographs, slides and other matters that may need scanning. Until then I wish you all the best.

Best Regards,

Rosie, London

Video Conversions

Although we are a scanning company, first and foremost, we have been asked to put together old videos as well as photos to DVD. This is something we can do as a premium service so let us know what you have in mind. We can take VHS, and various Video Camera Tapes and have them made into DVD's. In addition, for something special, using the skills of a chap who knows his way around Apple Final Cut Pro we can literally make you a Hollywood movie out of your footage. This is a very time consuming job though and prices are on a per project basis.

VHS to DivX

This means your VHS tape will be copied over to a computer playable file. DIVX is fast becoming the new standard for video playback and all the recent DVD players , PS3 & XBOX will play DIVX files as will Mac. We will convert your VHS tape to DIVX at the highest quality possible returning the footage on a DVD data disc or a memory stick (you supply).

Order online

VHS to DVD

This is the cheapest tape conversion we can do. Just send us your tapes and we will convert them: 1 x VHS = 1 x DVD. Prices are typically £15 per hour.

Video Camera tapes to DVD

If you have old Sony Video8 or more recent tapes, send them through. We have a great arrangement with a company and will get those converted for you. Again, 1 Tape = 1 DVD and prices are typically £15 per tape.

This is Your Life ...

If you want something special, contact us and we will arrange this for you. We can take photos, music, and video footage and put together something truly unique for your party or special occasion. Project prices start at around £200 for a 1 hour production which will take us 4 -5 hours to produce.
