Dave was able to digitize 20+ old VHS family videos for us. It was extremely professional and super fast. We'll be sending friends over to him as well. Super happy with everything - thank you so much Dave!

Dave at Beacon Digital Video was able to turn a VHS into a DVD for me in extremely short notice. I had reached out for an initial quote and he got back to me right away! He was kind, professional, and had quoted me the best price out of everybody I had initially reached out to. I absolutely recommend using Beacon Video for any VHS conversion!

I have had a variety of media conversion projects completed by Beacon Digital video including old Hi-8 movies, VHS tapes, color slides, old cassette recordings and more. I am always very impressed with Dave's high degree of quality, attention to detail, professionalism, prompt delivery and reasonable pricing.
