I tasked John with transfering my parent's 1958 16mm wedding reception film to a flash drive so that they could see it. What a wonderful gift for my parents to once again view their reception. I can't thank John enough for doing such an excellent job with such an old reel! John even added music to the film which both my Mother and Father enjoyed. Thank you John for such an excellent job!

They transferred some old vinyl records to CD for me and it was top notch. I dealt with Mr Waters and he was professional and fast. The price was perfect for me and the quality was amazing.

Excellent service at a fair price. Work is done right there in the studio and not shipped to some out of town technician like the pharmacys do.

I had a wonderful experience having old 8mm and Super 8mm film reels converted to DVDs and MP4 Video files at American Video Productions. I didn't have a movie projector to see these film reels that my relatives found in my Grandparents attic and mailed to me. Having the films converted to DVDs was certainly worthwhile for me. The owner, John, is a very understanding and accommodating proprietor and explained the whole process to me.
When I picked up the DVDs at American Video, I was pleasantly surprised to find that John had added an excellent audio sound track to the films. Watching these old (1948-1949 in my case) silent films of myself and my family with an relaxing soundtrack made my experience with the results even better. After seeing the great results on DVD, John accommodated my request to make MP4 files of the films for me. I highly recommend this excellent video business.
