Sent several older VHS tapes to them and had them back within a week. While I wasn't sure what was on all of the tapes, they were honest enough to inform me that a couple of the tapes were just older video recordings of television shows (remember the days before DVR? haha). They didn't convert those over, which shows their integrity, and returned the rest of my VHS tapes with a thumb drive of the converted tapes.

I then took the thumb drive and saved the contents to the cloud so have multiple options for these older videos. The cost was extremely reasonable too. Thanks for the outstanding service guys!

The Video Editor (MacArthur Blvd., Irvine): "Great" is an understatement. I have used (and will continue to use) The Video Editor for several years to convert slide shows into modern technology, giving me peace of mind that photos of the family will survive for the generations. Recently, The Editor created a DVD with music for a friend's memorial at Sherman Gardens, Corona del Mar.

The music blended with the photos perfectly. The video was very well received by family and friends. Instructions were followed completely, with fast turnaround and decent pricing.

I found Video Editor just by chance and I'm glad I did. They did a wonderful job of transferring all my vhs-c tapes to DVDs so that my family could enjoy and remember all the great times of the past. There was laughter and tears with every DVD that we watched! So thankful that Video Editor was able to bring our memories back to life. There was no way to watch our tapes as our video recorded was no longer working.

Video Editor saved the day! They are VERY reasonably priced for the quality product that you receive. They also gave us an option of putting our memories on a USB, which I may try next time as technology moves so fast. For now, we are really enjoying the high quality transfer of our memories to DVD. We recommend Video Editor to everyone!

If your videos are important to you, do not trust Steve with them. I used Steve a few years ago and just saw my review on Yelp which reminded me of my horrible experience with The Video Editor. I dropped 6 tapes off at his office to convert them to DVD (rather than trust the mail) and also picked them up. I put the first DVD in and. had never seen those people before in my life.

I checked the other 5 DVDs and they were indeed my family, thank goodness. I contacted Steve and he couldn't care less. He never followed up with me, couldn't be bothered to meet with me, made no attempt to figure out who was on the DVD I was given - I doubt he even tried to find my original tape, let alone apologize or offer me a refund. I have 3 kids who are now teenagers and the tape Steve lost was from when they were little.

Even if he had pretended to care and made any attempt whatsoever to locate my original tape, I can't get those videos back. Those memories are lost. Thanks Steve, never again. Sad that I can trust Costco more than you. DO NOT USE THIS GUY OR YOU WILL BE SORRY. ZERO STARS

Exceptional service! Steve kept me posted on the status of my order, and went above and beyond to find a solution for the poor video quality I sent him. We couldn't be more happy with the results. Well worth the time and money.the memories are priceless!

We have worked with The Video Editor for many years. Just recently had a special project come up - digitizing an enormous archive of video / beta / audio tapes. Steve was amazing at walking us through the process, managing our project at a reasonable rate with a quick turnaround. We would highly recommend their services! Communications LAB

The Video Editor's service was prompt, beating the others' many, many weeks lag. Great communication. They handled sound 16 mm which is not widely available. We'll use them again.

I recently lost my father and decided it was time to have my parents reels and videos from our childhood converted to a USB drive. Not only were they transferred perfectly, they were returned to me very quick and in a neatly packaged box. I also handed all of my own family's VHS's and other tapes to the Video Editor so now I have all of our memories in one spot too.

From baptisms, to graduations, weddings and now grand babies, Steve has consolidated the drawers and drawers of videos for us. The Video Editor's prices are quite reasonable and I've referred him to my entire family.

I have used The Video editor a couple of times and found they are fast, reliable and very efficient plus very affordable. I took my old Beta and VHS tapes in and they put them on a Zip drive. I also was able to take some if my sons VHS tapes from his high school theater performances and get them on a couple of Zip drives. One for him and one for me. The Video editor is 5 star company that will help you preserve your memories. I highly recommend them. Sally Elliott, Costa Mesa

After my mom passed away, I wanted to find a way to consolidate all the boxes of my family 35mm slides, 8mm video and VHS videos. Steve Kosch, The Video Editor was my solution. He converted all my family mementos onto DVDs and USB drives that I could save on my computer (and give a copy of each to my siblings). The convenience of my family to now watch everything on my TV made our tribute to my parents so special. I am so grateful for Steve's efforts to get all this done in such a short period of time. Thanks Steve!

Steve Kosch, The Video Editor is awesome. I had hundreds of 35mm slides, and years of 8mm and VHS video that he converted to digital. He put them on DVDs and on a USB drive for me and my siblings after our parents passed away. And he did the conversion within a week! This will make an awesome Christmas present for them. Thanks again Steve- I so appreciate you!

Steven K, is amazing! The Video Editor provided various editing and reproduction needs for my video project across the last 6 months. The work is high quality and his equipment is top notch. Steve met every deadline with dependable and A-1 service. I highly recommend this firm.

I have used The Video Editor on multiple occasions. First, to have my wedding VHS tape transferred to DVD and a couple of other times for VHS and Super 8 transfers to DVD for clients of mine. Each time, the services took about 2-4 weeks to complete. The quality has always been great, the prices are fair and working with Steve is always easy. I will continue to use his services and refer him out to others!

With extra time at home. I had dug out some old memories and thought I would really like to preserve these. I found The Video Editor and like it that they were local. I didn't want to ship them somewhere out of state and worry about getting them back. They came back promptly and i love them. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to do the same

I have been using The Video Editor for years for various projects. Recently took in 45 VHS tapes to convert to DVD. They were all completed and ready for pick up in 7 days. Steve was easy to work.

I submitted my VHS to be transferred to DVD on December 4, 2017 and they were not complete until August 2018. When I dropped the VHS off, I was told it would take three months. I was shocked that it would even take that long, but I was already there and I wasn't in a hurry to have them back. But eight months, that's ridiculous.

In all of my conversations and meetings with Steve, he has always been super polite, nice and professional. I did buy the Groupon deal and don't regret it. YES, the length of time to get your tapes/dvds back is lengthy, but I mean you waited THIS LONG to get them converted so you may as well wait longer. If you want to get a quicker return go elsewhere.

From what I read, Groupon deals take longer. I'm not quite sure how long my tapes took, it could have been 4-6 months. Honestly I didn't pick them up till a year after because I was so busy. I called Steve a few times to ask him to hold them for me and that I would eventually pick them up. He was super nice each time and told me he always holds onto the tapes and never disposes of them. Steve is NOT trying to steal your tapes or your money. I've been to his office in Irvine and he has a legit business. He is very upfront with you on how long the process takes so it shouldn't be a surprise.

Saw some of the one star posts and was a little hesitant but the 5 star posts seemed more legitimate. I'm glad I took the time to read more and not just go with a few poorly written rants. My suggestion for any consumer considering working with any business is to make sure your expectations match what they can effectively deliver. The Video Editor did a perfect and professional job converting an old video for me. He was friendly, fast and very affordable. I would highly recommend using him and plan to continue to use him and refer him for a very long time. Thank you Video Editor.

I sent my videos after buying a groupon over a year ago. I never received any communication and I am sure my memories are lost forever. I am horrified that this company is so insensitive. Please learn from my mistakes and do not give them anything

I sent 12 video tapes last April. I called last June and was told they were working on them but very over-loaded. I patiently waited until mid-March and have left messages, gotten no response except a text saying they had a lot of tapes with no phone numbers, names, etc. I was very clear with them that I had included all the information, I kept copies. I have heard nothing. All of my family's memories are recorded on those tapes and I will be devastated if they have lost them.

I bought a groupon. Paid for send shipping and included a check for return shipping in October of 2017. That was my wedding tapes. I have not yet received my tapes and they do not respond to any messages or voicemails. I am scared that i may not ever get to see my wedding tapes again. The guy does not respond. It truly sucks. So stressful.

I finally got ahold of the owner who was very short with me. He tried to upsell me even though I had a Groupon. It took roughly 6-7 months to get my tapes transferred to DVD and many were terribly transferred. I'm surprised this company is allowed on Groupon. Sad

They get the job done and had a good price on Groupon to transfer VHS to DVD, my only complaint is the wait time as it took SIX MONTHS to get my 2 DVD's back.

Steve was awesome and great to work with. I had some dvd's that I needed to get converted to video files. Even though I owned the dvd program, the company that I bought it from only had an on-demand option in which they would charge me monthly for something that I technically already owned. These days, dvd players aren't as common as they used to be and having files on your laptop/computer makes a lot more sense. Steve was professional. prompt, and was able to covert the dvd's to computer files for a great price and speedy time frame. Thanks again Steve! Will definitely use again in the future.

I give this place a 3. They had my VHS tapes for 6 months. After 3 months I contacted them. They said Groupon orders take longer. So I waited until we reached the 4 month mark. When I inquired the response I received was, "we will fulfill". At 5 months I asked if they could mail the tapes back to me as I was getting concerned. They responded saying they were starting on them. At 6 months and 1 week I finally received my finished product.

After waiting 4 months! I finally got my VHS tapes turned into CDs. Inexpensive using groupon. But for 4 months Video Editor could not tell me if they had received my tapes. I labeled all my 12 tapes with a name but all CDs were sent to me with out a title or name. I rather pay extra for a professional label title on the CD so I know what's on it. I'll send my other VHS tapes to another business and pay a little more for a 100% professional job.

On a positive side it was cheap, I got a call from the company that my CDs would be in the mail (after waiting 4 months not knowing) and the copies were done well. That's it!
