The first job I brought to Harold was a conversion- DAT tape to audio CD. He executed the transfer flawlessly. When I picked up the conversion I told him about DVD duplication order I was planning to send out to Tennessee. He asked if I would consider doing the job locally. I said sure as long as the price was comparable. We agreed on a price and he successfully executed a 400 DVD duplication order for me complete with four color ink jet printing. Harold is very conscientious about the quality of his service and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to convert media formats or has a need for some small run DVD duplications.

HB Media Solutions is honestly so great! I was very skeptical about giving in my home tapes anywhere because they are so precious to my family and I. I decided to bring in 3 tapes to test the waters and I was so happy with the results. The quality is so great and he works very efficiently. He explained the process very thoroughly and the turn around time was so fast. I came back with a bunch of tapes for him to do for me. My other family members are also going to work with him. I would recommend him every time, your tapes are in good hands! Thank you Harold for treating my memories with so much care. Appreciate you!

Very quick turnaround (same-day) for getting my film transferred digitally. They even offer cloud uploads which is very convenient. Harold provided great customer service and was sure to explain the process and make sure my film wouldn't be damaged in the process. I'll definitely be back for any future film needs!

Found this great company through a Google search and connected immediately with them to convert my 8mm home movies from 50 years ago to digital media. Great response, easy to follow process, and now all my memories to see on my computer or DVD player. Harold is very helpful, friendly and treated me like one of his family. If you need your memories preserved forever, HB Media Solutions is the best!

As someone who has worked in the media for many years, I was on the lookout for a business that could not only transfer my family VHS tapes to a new format, but also my library of professional 3/4" tapes. Imagine my delight when I made the acquaintance of Harold and HB Media Solutions! Harold and his crew did a splendid job of transferring tapes to DVD for me - enabling me to view footage I hadn't watched in years. Moreover, even though I dropped off nearly 100 VHS tapes and many 3/4" tapes, the transfers were done in a very timely manner, with Harold giving me regular updates. I have so much enjoyed being able to relive both beautiful family memories and professional career highlights. I highly recommend the services of Harold and HB Media Solutions.

Just a short note to thank Harold for transferring albums that I recorded in the late 80's from records and cassettes to a digital format in "record" time. Professional, high quality and prompt service...it is great to hear the tunes again after so many years. Thanks, Harold!!

I've been going through boxes of family memorabilia and getting video tapes scanned by a variety of companies, often due to come-ons from sites like groupon. The results have been mediocre. Scans come back with lots of playback interference, or people look like elves (unnaturally tall and thin) or hobbits (incorrectly short and fat). I keep coming back to HB because every single video they've ever scanned for me has been exactly right!

Harold did an amazing job with over 70 vhs and vhc(??) tapes that I sent him! (I am not local to him.). The pandemic - basically the year 2020 in general- really put him behind so I had to wait several months for him to be able to complete my job. (I wasn't really in a hurry- they had been sitting for years without me being able to watch them anyway!!). But he kept in contact the whole time to say he didn't forget me! Then as he worked with the videos, he kept in touch with me with the progression. I highly recommend HB Media solutions! Harold really will take care of you!

I have worked with another Media company, scanning photos in the past. But I will never work with anyone but HB Media Solutions from here on. Harold and his crew were wonderful to work with. If I had a question they either answered immediatly or called me right back. That didn't happen with the big company I'd worked with before. I got my photos back, safe and sound and I am thrilled with their work! Thank you, Harold!!

Harold, at H&B, provided excellent customer service. We had a nice conversation prior to sending my VHS tapes to him. He is extremely knowledgeable. His postage pricing for return postage is the most reasonable around AND allows him to keep track of my memories (tapes). He also called me (after hours to accomodate my time zone) when one of my tapes was longer than anticipated. Great quality and great service!!!

I used their service to convert 19 VHS tapes to digital. They were so helpful and made the process very easy. I would highly recommend them for your digital needs. Everything was easy via US Mail and they are very good at keeping you in the loop about how things are progressing. I would definitely use them again.

My VHS tapes were reproduced on DVD with excellent quality. While I had to wait longer due to high demand from a Groupon offering, it was well worth the wait. There was a problem with shipping, but Harold immediately responded and stayed on top of it every day until the original tapes and DVDs were in my hands. This type of excellent customer service is hard to find these days. Well done!

HB Media transfered 40+ of our family videos in various formats and did a very professional job. Everyone there was very helpful and easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

HB Media is good with me. I had a bad experience with a different copy service that took my money and VHS tapes for a year and did nothing. But HB Media had them done and back in less than two weeks. Thanks for transferring my old, very old, VHS tapes to DVD. My wife was worried the old tapes of our children growing up were about to disintegrate. Considering they date back to 1987 I'm surprised they still held an image.
But the video sure came out nice on DVD, which I'm pretty sure lasts a long long time, long after I'm gone anyway. It's weird, those old VHS didn't play that well on our old VHS player, but the copy DVDs look way better. Is there some enhancement process you use? Now the grandkids are having fun watching their dad and aunt when they were babies and little kids. They find it very amusing!

Harold did an amazing job. My sister passed away a couple years ago and I stumbled across some old VHS tapes of her on a Saturday night around midnight. I emailed him and he responded within 30 minutes. That was the fastest I've seen a business respond after hours. He instructed me to call that Sunday before 1pm as I did so arrived there with the tapes and he had them converted by 330pm on the same day. He manage to convert them a week before Christmas and I am thankful for what business he provided which allowed me to see my sister once again bringing back all the memories.

I had two VHS tapes I wanted to convert to DVD within a week to surprise my parents. I took them in on Saturday and by Tuesday I picked them up! I greatly appreciated the rush that was put on them. One of the VHS tapes was fuzzy when I played it, but HB Media cleaned it up and I was able to watch it with no fuzz. A great job was done, with great customer service! I recommend anyone to try them out....you won't be disappointed!

I wanted to thank you soooo much for the marvelous job you did for me on my DVDs. I just sat and watched them and am so pleased! You have that crappy company Legacy Box beat by a mile. My experience with you and your company was smooth and quick. And the products were done correctly the FIRST time. And the fact that you added in the USB drive for me was priceless. Now I never have to worry about not having my precious memories forever. Thank you so much for your superb work. I will use your services always from now on.

I was very impressed with HB media's services. The VHS to DVD service was extremely well priced, and delivery was earlier than I even expected. In a society that is always outsourcing video conversion to remote sites, the personal touch provided was refreshing and it was not able to get lost in the mail! It was a store that does one thing very well...protects your memories and provides a quality product. You can pay alot more for a store that overcharges so they have a fancy lobby, or do what i did and goto HB media and get a great product at a great price.

Professional, affordable, and fast! Howard will do his best to accommodate your needs. I had cassettes transferred onto CDs and VCR tapes converted into DVD's. The quality of everything was superb. I can't wait to find more VCR tapes to bring to him. Now my memories will last forever. This place is better than all the rest out there!

I recently found some beta home movies recorded in the late 80's by my deceased husband. My daughter was six when he died. She had recently said that she couldn't remember what her Dad's
voice sounded like. I found HB Media online, Harold was able to convert the Beta movies to DVD. My daughter and I were both in tears as she was not only able to hear her Dad's voice but also see him interacting with her. That moment was priceless. Thank you so much Harold.

Excellent service, very sentimental to my video needs and understanding of my expectations. I had a few video tapes of my mother when she was younger and other family videos that I needed to be transferred onto DVD. I was very skeptical about doing so (She passed away in 2009 and these video tapes dated back to to the 1990's) I didn't want the tapes to get ruined or loose any media/audio.
HB Media Solutions promised to deliver by the end of the month and delivered 2 weeks in advance. Everything was there perfectly and nothing was lost. I regained back my old family memories, that I lost as a child. Very professional. I will definitely be using HB Media Solutions again!
