We had a large number of 'Super 8' type reel-to-reel films that my dad took starting in the 1940's. A family member transferred the files from the original film to VHS tapes quite a few years ago. I no longer have a VHS recorder, so when I heard about The Digitize Center, I sent the tapes in for digitization. Many of the digitized images are faded due to the film's poor original condition, but it is priceless to have these memories available to watch.
Excellent job bringing back to life so many memories of prior decades. The quality was crisp and clear and I was amazed how my old VHS and Camcorder tapes yielded such a great picture.
Everything was digitized at a high level of quality and originals were returned safely. Patience was key--the process took over two month.
Received my family tapes back in an extremely timely fashion, I thought they would take forever since it was 40 VHC-C tapes. Not only was it super quick, the quality was awesome. I've done a few of these by hand and this was absolutely more than worth it for the bulk of my tapes I still had left to do, and didn't have the time to do (especially this well!) I will recommend The Digitize Center to anyone that needs old family videos digitized.
Quality is excellent! Highly recommend!
Sent them a CD with photographs on it and no idea what they were.They pulled the photos and videos and returned the original data source and loaded the photos/videos onto their cloud, where I was able to download them all. Easy, seamless, and good value for the cost. Would certainly use them again if the need arises.
Bottom line - Probably won't use TDC again. Happy with the end results, but it took months from the time my order was shipped until I received the return of my reels. And accessing the pictures on the cloud provided, was not easily user friendly to understand. As I waited for feedback about the status of my order, there was weeks and weeks of no updates. Basically, I tried TDC to check out their service versus the competition and the competition won hands down
Wait time was long but assume your success requires patience. Good job
Took a few months but great communication and service from start to finish! Thrilled with the finished product!
I understand my reel to reels I sent in were old. I was really disappointed in the quality of sound. The background hum on the digitized recording is so loud, the music cannot be heard.
Their customer service was excellent and exceptional beyond limits. Any questions I had as a customer were personally answered by email or personal phone calls. I was assured throughout the entire process, and was blown away at how fair and quickly the turnaround time was for my reels. I now have 38, 8mm film reels that I will gladly entrust to this company to digitize. There are a limited amount of companies out there to do this type of work, you will be satisfied by their standards and process.
Sincerely

The mini dvds to digital came out great. The VHS tapes were flickering a lot. Almost unusable. It took forever to get these back but they were upfront about it.
This company did a good job with an old 16 mm. They stayed in touch they sent emails they answered emails very reliable
I have used other digitizing services (Photos, slides, VHS tapes, 8mm film) before in the past and I have to say that my experience with 'The Digitize Center' was fantastic! The price was fair but most importantly, the product that was produced was exceptional in quality. The digital copies were sharp and the colors were bright & vivid. I liked the way they gave me constant updates on the status of my order too! Great job!
Super easy process, Great videos, very long processing delays
Although the pre-ordering information was clear about the length of the process, I was still surprised just how long it took. But, I was really stunned by the clarity achieved by the techs in converting my 60 year old reel-to-reel audio tape to an MP3 digital file - really incredible!
Although it seems to have taken a loot of time, I was disappointed they didn't clean the slides before converting them to pictures. If that is their practice they should have instructed the buyer to clean them. I didn't find that information on the website but then I didn't look as quite frankly I figured that would have been the procedure.
