Kirk has always been a pleasure to work and does such a good job converting my videos into movies. I mail my products from WI and and receive everything back in a timely matter with no damage. After I receive my products he always checks back to make sure I'm happy with the results, great customer service!

Look no further, Kirk is as good as it gets in the digitizing services. After a diligent search of companies that could convert my VHS tapes, I ultimately landed on Kirk after reading stories of other companies ruining irreplaceable VHS tapes. I brought him a few tapes to convert into DVDs. He not only converted them within a great turn around time (one week) but he adjusted the sound production.
When I picked up the DVDs, he mentioned the VHS tapes were in European format (from my family in France) that required a different conversion method than US tapes. I shouldve known that but didnt even realize there was a difference. I expected him to charge an additional fee due to the need for specialized equipment, but he didnt and actually undercharged me from his original quote. Its obvious Kirk knows his stuff and really enjoys what he does. Highly recommend.

The company was great. They were able to convert my VHS tapes from 1992 to a USB thumb drive. They werent sure if it could be done before Christmas due to other business, but they got it done. The files look great.
