I received my transfer back and have reviewed it.

It is far and away the sharpest transfer
I have ever had!

Arthur M.,                     27 March 2008

I just wanted to send a note to tell you how great my 50 year old 8mm movie transfer came out.

Considering the original cheap 8mm movie film's inherent lack of resolution, horrible graininess, the junk DeJur 1958 vintage camera my father owned to take them, and the wear and tear put upon the films from multiple projector vieweings, they came out 100% better than they were taken.

The DeJur movie camera had problems out of the box, the electric eye was intermittent, lots of focus and aperture problems, case wouldn't close right and lots of light struck sections. Of course, everyone posed for movies back then, "Everyone stand/sit still for the movie camera." People just weren't use to movie pictures. And the expense of taking 8mm movies was a luxury back then as you only got 50 ft on a roll of film and you had to pay to get it processed. You only used it on special occasions.

These old films were so dirty and scratched after thirty years of sitting in a box as to be almost not viewable on my father's old Bell and Howell movie projector (plus his old movie screen had turned yellow.) My expectations were very low, but I wanted to try and I was very happy to see them as good as they could be. I tried watching the DVDs on a big screen TV, but the graininess of the 8mm is too much to watch for long and are much better viewed on a laptop PC.

Thanks, if he were alive today, I know my father would have appriciated how good they came out.
John R.,                    25 March 2008

I received the DVD of my 16mm family films today. You and your team did an excellent job of restoring and transfering this family keepsake.

This was a project that I thought of as a gift for my mother's 80th birthday celebration. I plan to run the DVD, along with a DVD of still pictures, during the party for the enjoyment of her guests.

Thank you for doing the job right, and returning the film ahead of schedule!
Chas L., Fenton, MI                              22 March 2008

Got the films. You do good work. Will send more in time. You have lots of patience. Some boring, but brings back lots of memories.
Chuck D.,                     24 March 2008

Thanks so much for your outstanding work. I received my home movies on DVD and hard drive from you a few days ago. After reviewing them, I was amazed at the quality of the transfer. It is clear you take great care at ensuring the old 8mm movies are carefully handeled and properly transferred to digital media. The DVDs brought old family memories to life that I thought were gone forever. Thanks and great job!
Richie, B.,                                               20 March 2008

Want to let you know how great this turned out. Thanks for an excellent job. I had many 8mm reels transferred to VHS about 15 years ago. Your work is so much better I am thinking about having you do it all over again to DVD.
Dr. M. C          28 March 2008

I just came back to Vienna from Florida where you sent my parcel. Today I viewed the transfer- and I do not know how to thank you for the digital film transfer. Your company has done a high quality job! Many thanks for it! I am also very obligate to you for finishing the transfer and sending it to me on my Tallahassee address ahead of schedule. As I mentioned to you in one of my e-mails, I have many more 8mm films waiting for the transfer, Next year I plan again to visit my children in Georgia and in Florida where I will send to you more films for the transfer.

MANY THANKS FOR AN EXCELLENT JOB!
Laurance S.,             31 March 2008

They look old and absolutely wonderful. I think my mother playing with us in the yard, wearing a navy blue sailors dress or something with matching navy blue elbow length gloves, is the clincher. I will tell everyone about your service.
Fletch L.,            31 March 2008

Thanks for a great job! I am very pleased with the quality you achieved in transferring the film of my mother's wedding that was 70 years old. I look forward to sharing it with my family.
Joan C., Mansfield Center, CT               31 March 2008

The entire family is thrilled at the quality of the work you did in transferring the old reels onto DVD. We hadn't seen those pictures in over 40 years and now many of the people in them have passed on. My 96 year old mother was especially happy. She was describing them to my elderly uncle who now wants a copy for himself. Thank you for your advice and for your fine work!
Woody R., Miami, FL               1 April 2008

I've got to tell you I was amazed at the quality. Those films were all made in 1970-1971 and I never dreamed you could restore them to that condition. Can't thank you enough for the memories they've brought back. And as if that wasn't enough, I was totally blown away to find the $10 overpayment refund check you threw in because I'd overestimated the length of the film. I couldn't believe there was anyone in business today who still did things like that. It was a real pleasure to do business with you, and I'm forwarding this to all of my friends to let them know about you.
Carl P., Ash Flat, AR               2 April 2008

Just a note to tell how pleased we are with the results of the film transfer. The DVDs are nicely done. The little extras that went along with the actual transfer tells us that the quality of your work goes far beyond the transfer itself. The careful packaging of the return product, the continuous stream of emails advising us of the progress of the work and the followup request to FedEx to insure the completed work arrived as scheduled, reflects the commitment you have toward customer satisfaction.
Charles P., Burlington, CT          4 April 2008

Wow! I was greatly impressed with the quality of the output. I know these 8mm films date back to the 1960s (40+ years ago), and I was expecting the quality to be so-so. But I was extremely impressed with the quality and workmanship you were able to provide.

I have been doing digital movies for quite some time, and in fact, I had a set of 8mm films done several years ago by another vendor and these 8mm films were as old as what I sent to you but the quality of output from this other vendor was not so impressive and I know he used a Telecine process.

In any case, I have no reservations of reccomending you to other people. The quality was worth the price for these priceless family films. I know the rest of my family will be VERY impressed and excited to see themselves 40 years younger.
Kevin W., Pawcatuck, CT               7 April 2008

Thanks so much for a job well done! It made me very nervous to send my movies via the postal service but to no avail, everything was returned safely and in better quality than when it was sent. I highly reccomend your service and will spread the word to others. Good quality and excellent customer service also. What was most impressive was when I called to ask questions I spoke to someone immediately. Kudos to MyMovieTransfer.com/Debenham Media Group. You've made me and my family very, very happy to have these keepsake memories!
Tse C., Bellevue, WA               10 April 2008

I recently received your transferred DV tape from my 16mm film. It is excellent and I appreciate your excellent work. Fifteen years ago a cine lab converted a lot of my 16mm films to SVHS tape. Your digital processing seems to give more detail. I am sending you two more rolls of 16mm films to be transfered this week. Thanks again.
Lamar F., Blairsville, GA               11 April 2008

My wife and I just finished 4 great hours of home movies! Thanks for the great work. We hadn't seen most of the 8mm in 30 or more years and had no way of watching them. I don't know if you can still buy 8mm projectors.

We just dropped the DVDs in the player and sat back and watched our babies (now 39 and 38) come home from the hospital, take their first steps, eat their first solid food and open presents and open presents and open presents (boy we took a lot of movies opening presents). Thanks again for the great job.
Barbara B., State College, PA              12 April 2008

I am very happy with the super 8 and 16mm film to digital video transfers your company did for me. The color and contrast ratios look excellent, as well as maintaining of focus of all the images.

It was a large, complicated order and it was all done in good order and on the schedule that you promised. I use this home movie footage in my larger creative documentary work here at Penn State where I teach film/video production, and I won't hesitate to recommend your company to my students and colleagues.

I even have an older (and more precious) archive of regular 8mm family films (dating back to 1945) that I will be sending to you for transfer in the future.

Thanks for your high quality work and service.
Steve K., Johnstown, PA               13 April 2008

I was really surprised at how well the film transferred - it's a bunch of clips that someone took at my parents' wedding reception, and it's great to have it in DVD format!
Bill B., Des Moines, IA               14 April 2008

Thanks so much to the whole team at Debenham Media Group for doing a duper job on converting my family's 8mm films to DVD/Digital media!! I am shocked by the clarity of these transfers, they are much clearer than the images produced via my projector. There is no sprocket jump, and the focus is clear and sharp. The last time I viewed these films, I was concerned that they were ruined as it appeared the cupping of the film was preventing the focuse from being clear.

Several members of my family were concerned about sending such priceless films over a thousand miles, but the professionalism of your employees and concern they showed immediately put me at ease when I called and spoke to them on the phone. I look forward to sharing these films with my mother who was recently diagnosed with "Alzheimer's like" dementia - I know she will be thrilled to be able to see these films clearly again.

Thanks again for a job well done. We couldn't be more pleased!
AW C., Cambridge, MA               24 April 2008

Thank you for the videos. They are wonderful. How much easier it is to work with these rather than the old 16mm films. I am going to send you a whole lot more. I think the copies on to a mini DV tape is just about right for our purposes.
Robert B., Philadelphia, PA               26 April 2008

Just got them this morning! They are great - may have to send some 8 and super 8 next. Also got you a few more customers!
Ron H., Gainesville, MO               28 April 2008

Thanks for the great job on the film transfer. Also, the service was perfect. It's nice to deal with someone who does what they say. I appreciate you very much.
James P., Lutz, FL               30 April 2008

I just want to thank you all for the movie you transferred. You all did a great job and I was very impressed with the speed and return shipment packaging. I just mailed out 2 more film reels yesterday for conversion, there are a total of 9 reels that I will be sending. I had not seen that film in about 30 years, it was great to see it again.
Larry J., Bee Spring, KY               2 May 2008

Got my DVD today of my 8mm film. You all did an outstanding job. We are very pleased with how you handled our keepsakes. I want to say thank you for the job you did and would recommend you highly.
Ken C., Fairfax, VA               6 May 2008

A quick note to say the conversion is unqualifiedly excellent. I greatly appreciate the service.
Mike S., New York, NY               8 May 2008

I just wanted to thank everyone who helped with the transfer of my grandfather's and mother's super 8 film. I was able to watch a couple of the DVDs (haven't had time to watch all 4!) and the footage looks fantastic (apart from the shaky camera work, grandpa!). The whole family is anticipating watching to see what has been hidden on those rolls for the past 30 years - it's going to be quite a weekend of forgotten home movies and memories.

Everyone I dealt with at My Movie Transfer during the process was so professional and polite, and the turnaround was amazingly fast. It's funny - I'm hoping more relatives find old film in their attic so I can call you guys again!
Winnie H., James Creek, PA               19 May 2008

This will be a wonderful birthday present for my 43 year old son. I am sure his son will treasure them also. I thank you for your prompt and courteous service. You certainly live up to your advertisement on the internet. Please tell John and others that their work is appreciated. I am sure the films were a challenge. I was aware when I sent them that they were old and certainly were not shot by professionals. I was expecting a call that they could not be done. However, we now have cherished memories updated to current technology. Keep up the good work!
Marc C., Falls Church, VA               21 May 2008

Thanks for doing such a nice job with the films I sent you. It's great to see them flicker-free, and I know my family was very pleased with the results. I've got a bunch more that I'll probably be sending you soon.
Ken S., Lakewood, CO               19 May 2008

WOW! Last week I received the 16mm films you digitized for me, and they are absolutely spectacular. The color correction and clarity look like they were filmed just the other day rather than 45 years ago. Thank you very much for your excellent (and quite affordable) work.
Susan M., Philadelphia, PA               23 May 2008

We watched the DVD this evening and we were all very pleased with the results. It was a great walk down memory lane. I felt like I was 10 all over again, watching home movies with the family. Thanks for a transfer job well done. I will be sending out the next 4 reels as soon as I can get them together. I look forward to doing business with you again.
Joe S., Concord, NC                27 May 2008

The Debenham Media Group is the right company if you value quality and professionals who say what they will do and do what they say. My family and I are very satisfied with the results of the transfer of our super 8 with sound to DVDs. Great Job.
Jim D., Davison, MI               26 May 2008

I received my films and MiniDV tapes back from you the alst part of April and I'm finally able to view them and let you know how you did. You were great!!! You did everything you promised and a little more besides. I had some pretty old film (60+ years) that I was pretty nervous about, but I needn't have worried at all. I had previously tried the old 45-degree mirrored projector-to-camcorder arrangement and the results were horrible. I knew there had to be a better way and so I searched the web until I came across your page. I was impressed with it, and with the very enthusiastic and courteous service I received when I called, overly, nervous, with a couple of questions. You people do a really great job, and I'll be the first to recommend you to anyone I run across who is looking to have this done. Thanks again and good luck with your business.
Keith O., New York, NY               6 June 2008

Thank you for your excellent work.
Brad T., Hoffman Estates, IL       9 June 2008

We just love your work!!!!!!!!!!!!
Linda M., Ridgecrest, CA                26 June 2008

I picked up my package on Tuesday, 24 June. I was able to view the DVD that same afternoon. I am very pleased with the results. The quality of the transferred film is excellent. Thank you so much for you excellent service. I will be sure to recommend you to others who may be looking for the same service.
Charles A., Gotha, FL               27 June 2008

I thought the movie/film transfer was done very well. I wasn't sure what shape the material was in and was pleased it came out so well. The mini-DV tape is a great way to download it onto the computer for editing and keep the video in high quality mode. I was delighted to see the pictures of my wife growing up.
Liz F., Kurtistown, HI                27 June 2008

Love what you folks do. My dad was so thrilled for fathers day. You brought the old days to life. Thanks so much.
Frank S., Westminster, CA               7 July 2008

I would like to compliment you on a very professional film media transfer. I chose you for several reasons and all my expectations were met. What had been sitting up in a box for many years is now to be viewed by the people in the film and their grandchildren also. Many thanks!!
Jennifer W., Worthington, OH                8 July 2008

Excellent! Thanks so much. By the way, everything looks fantastic! We're very happy with the way they turned out. My husband has already converted several of the uncompressed files into files on his iPod, and then played the iPod files on the tv. Even with the compression and reduced resolution they look good on the tv, so we know they'll look good when we do the higher quality to DVD. We haven't looked at the DV tapes yet, but based on the uncompressed files, we're very happy.
Tony D., Glen Cove, NY               12 July 2008

You guys did an outstanding job! The work you did exceeded my expectations. I labored for 3 weeks trying to get those super8 films to my camcorder then to my PC. I encountered frequently projector stoppages and shifting alignment problems. When I finally finished the end product was horrible. It wasn't sharp and the white light flicker effect was horrendous. My options were limited given I had a standard projector and a digital camera in my bedroom.

The first thing that caught my eye was the precision and care you put into assembling the old super8 films to a new reel. They looked better than they did when I unpacked them in the 1980s.

When I popped in the DVD you made I couldn't believe how clear the video was. It was actually better than my projector ever was. The fact that you cleaned up and respliced the master super8 films was a huge bonus. I don't care if I paid 200 or 500 dollars the outcome was awesome. I will definitely recommend you guys.
Alex B., Southampton, NJ               18 July 2008

The box arrived last evening and I am very pleased with the results! Fantastic work.
Jim A., Gig Harbor, WA               19 July 2008

You saved a 16mm B&W movie taken in the '30s that had deteriorated so badly I was convinced it was unrecoverable. It was very badly curled throughout and had a strong odor of vinegar from having been kept in an airtight container. Thank you so much for an excellent job.
Robert C., Houston, TX               15 August 2008

I would just like to thank everyone at DMG for all their hard work. We had these films transferred for my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary and it was the highlight of the party. We were able to display it on a projector from my laptop and it brought everyone tears of joy. The great work you guys did is evident and my family couldn't have been happier. Gregg was very informative and patient answering all my questions. He made me feel at ease by being so knowledgeable. I have already begun recommending you to friends and family.
Nancy C., Hampton Bays, NY                27 August 2008

Just wanted to let you know how happy we are with how the films came out...just beautiful! It was a fun family reunion and what a way to celebrate, looking at "how we were then!" Thank you so much for your help and personal attention. You were terrific, Gregg. I so much appreciate it. I'm hoping that if a documentary is ever done on the Roxy Theatre in New York, I can submit footage knowing that it is expertly transferred! I had only seen some of these films so many years ago, the old fashioned way, which is great of course. But it's amazing how clear the footage looked, and it was really something to see.
Judith G., Bad Axe, MI                27 August 2008

I have received my transferred DVDs, and they are great. It was so good to see my parents' wedding and many of my other relatives that are no longer living. This will be something that I can not wait to share with my sisters. Thank you for capturing these memories for me.
Jack S., Dunmore, PA                27 August 2008

I received the DVDs you transferred for me yesterday. I am very satisfied with the quality of your work and will certainly recommend your firm to others.
Yvonne S., Hampton, VA               2 September 2008

The service that you provided for our project was great. We will recommend your service to others and will send any other film to you to have processed.
Tom & Eliza H., Colorado Springs, CO               3 September 2008

You all did a fantastic job on our movies! Thank you! You even charged us LESS than we had assumed that you would charge us. THANK YOU!!!

We were truly impressed with your service. We were nervous when we saw the anti-shaking feature you all offered and wondered if we weren't making a mistake by not ordering that additional service. However, your equipment was so high-tech that our films didn't need that extra help - again, saving us money. The coloring came through perfectly! We are thoroughly impressed with your service and have already been recommending it to family. We will be putting in another order with you soon as we have additional family films that need to be transferred. Again, thank you for your excellent service. Also, an additional special "Thank you" to Brian and Michael for their help on our home movies.
Carlos B., Murphy, TX               11 September 2008

The transfer looks really good. The color looks natural and watching without the flickering that is present when you use the projector makes it much more fun. Thank you very much and I will see if I have more transfers for you to work on.
David W., Portland, OR               10 September 2008

Hey - the stuff looks great!
Karen H., Foley, AB               15 September 2008

Thank you SOOOO much!!! I had a few of these 8mm films made onto a VHS about 10 years ago. The quality was nowhere near as good as the ones you sent me plus the VHS tape may have deteriorated over time. There were very dark images that you brightened and brought back to life. I am so delighted to have my home movie on MiniDVs now. I plan to copy them onto DVDs for my family Christmas presents as a surprise. I give you a 150% score.
Susan White-Bowden, Finksburg, MD                15 September 2008
Former News Anchor/Reporter

My film/video did arrive and it is beautiful. I am so glad I found you and your company to professionally transfer my 16mm magnetic sound film to DVD. Thank goodness for the internet. The film is almost 40 years old and you not only transferred it successfully, you returned the film unharmed, as well as the video carrying the images and sound that I thought were locked away and lost forever on that old film clip.
Bill H., Levittown, NY               15 September 2008

I have finally gotten to watch all of my film transfers and I cannot believe how well you did. What used to be dark & barely viewable is now bright, colorful and a pleasure to view. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And I will definitely recommend you to anyone that needs this type of work done.
Eileen H., New York, NY               16 September 2008

Thank you very much for the DVD of the 8mm home movies. Just wanted to let you know that I was very pleased with the results and intend to order copies to send to my family members as Christmas presents.
John H., Kansas City, MO               19 September 2008

I just sent an email to a former neighbor letting her know I would send her some video that you all digitized for me. She replied that she had boxes full of film in her garage. YIKES!! I responded by telling her that she must get her film out of the garage and have this done. There are plenty of such service providers, but the folks I used are Debenham Media Group and I am extremely thrilled with the results. The digitized movies were sent in the format of my preference on a mini external hard drive. They were also stored to MiniDV tapes as an added measure of archival security. If you are in the least bit computer savvy, you will be lost for many winter weeks sorting through images that, had they soundtracks, seem to have been taken yesterday. So much fun, and I intend to produce sets for all my siblings. Thanks again guys, the work is great. The results are priceless. I especially appreciate knowing that my originals are now packaged to better withstand the test of time.
Elizabeth G., Suffolk, VA               22 September 2008

What a terrific job you did with my film! I now have over 50 years of history to enjoy, including the only movies I know that exist of my grandfathers. What a marvelous record that my children can now enjoy of their great-grandparents and grandparents, not to mention what my first birthday party was like over 60 years ago. My children's childhood is included too, and now it is preserved for us all. I am sending copies to my 86-year-old aunt for her birthday and I know she will be thrilled to see her parents and both sisters at my parents' wedding. And of course, her own children and grandchildren can now see her as a 20-year-old maid of honor. My brother and a cousin will get their copies as Christmas presents. You have handled our heritage with great care and have enhanced it for us all. Thank you so much!
Marcia S., Alamogordo, NM               23 September 2008

My daughter found you, we put all mom's movies together in a box and I shipped them to you. You had no prior notice. Not only did you finish up a colossal job in 3 weeks, you returned $122 of overpayment. Unheard of. We're completely satisfied with your work. If we had more, we'd ship them off tomorrow. Alas, you did such a good job, we're finished. Your business reminds me of the "old" days when people actually did what they were asked to do. Very refreshing.

My mother was able to view all three DVDs and on September 25th, died. One of her last and best memories was to be able to view all those old movies and you did that for her. What you did was not only timely, but you made an elderly woman very happy just before she died.
Ellsworth T., Hilo, HI               25 September 2008

The 8mm sections were beautiful. No one had thought there would be movies of 1957 and 1958, so they were very thrilled. The clarity was very good, and you slowed down my SST scannings, so blurs became people and structures. So I'd say we are all happy about the production. I can hardly wait to try one of the Super 8 sound movies. Your attached sheet about backing up was a good reminder. I hadn't thought about that! And you were right, the tape is much clearer than the DVD!
Scott Paul, Katy, TX               26 September 2008
Founder - International Scrapbooking Association

Thank you for doing such a fine job on our 8mm movie transfers! Your company provided me Great Service, Great Value, and Great Quality! I easily was able to upload them to our family web site for everyone to see! I will be recommending My Movie Transfer to all of our membership!
Miki R., Ramona, CA               26 September 2008

Rest assured I love the results. I'm not as computer savvy as I would like but my son in law tells me the transfer went well and I should be able to create my DVD for the family without any problems (with his help). Thanks again for the obvious care you took in the process. I look forward to sending you the rest of my film in the future to have it done as well.
Cesar R., Hialeah, FL               6 October 2008

I would like to thank you for a job very well done. I am very satisfied with the job you did with my film. I will continue sending the rest that I have left. Thank you for your time and effort in making this special performance.
Ezekiel M., McAllen, TX               8 October 2008

I received my transfers and have looked them over. You did a great job! Thanks so much. I'll be sure to recommend you to all of my NYU film student friends. Your turn around time was very quick.
Daniel D., Trumansburg, NY               16 October 2008

Whatta' pleasant surprise! You guys are the f_____g best! Smooth and excellent results. I am more than pleased. Thank you. You can bet there's more to come.
Jack S., Boynton Beach, FL               24 October 2008

Wow!! The movies came out great!! Those films were over 70 years old and I'm amazed at how beautifully you restored them. I thank you, my children thank you, and my grandchildren thank you. I'm looking forward to sending you more films as soon as I can put them together.
Patrick M., Hoolehua, HI               27 October 2008

I am very satisfied with the result and with the orderly handling and communication. Thanks for the great job.
Matthew M. Redwood City, CA               29 October 2008

The quality of the work you guys did is astounding. The film I submitted was from 1955 and it came back better than some of the vhs movies I have seen as of late. I have referred your service to 3 co-workers. Thanks for the memories! I am extremely satisfied.
Pat W., Manitowoc, WI               29 October 2008

Just wanted to let you know my film arrived today and I couldn't be more pleased. Your website would have to be listed among the best I have ever discovered. The film I had contained footage from my high school's state basketball tournament in 1968. I had only seen a silent videotape version of it before I was able to obtain the original.

I had planned to simply run the 16mm film with a projector and digitally tape it from the screen. The only projector I could locate had not been serviced for some time, and quickly broke the film in two places. Luckily, I discovered your website and sent the film to you. Since I had no means to splice the film, I sent it to you broken. You spliced the film for me at no additional charge!

I had never viewed the film before and thought it had no sound because that feature of the projector I had was apparently broken as well. I knew the film had sound striping on it and was absolutely delighted to hear the sound when I played the DVD. On top of everything else, you send me a refund check because I slightly overestimated the size of the film. Thanks so much for your great service.
David C., Arcadia, CA               4 November 2008

I want to thank you and your staff for an excellent job. The DVD is just what we wanted. Also I appreciated the explanation on MiniDV tape. I wasn't sure what it was when I ordered it, only that you recommended it. Again, thank you for a job well done.
Kim R., Holmdel, NJ               4 November 2008

I received my DVD today - what a wonderful job DMG did!!! I was enormously pleased with the results. I just wish there was more footage on the reel. I can't wait to share this with my family. Thank you for restoring my precious memories - they are irreplaceable. I have more reels to dig up and transfer to DVD, I will definitely use your services again. And I would like to say the entire experience, communication and tracking updates were beyond compare. No one provides such great customer service anymore - keep up the good work!
Barry S., Rockville Centre, NY               5 November 2008

DVD received as promised - terrific, professional job! We are extremely pleased with the results and excellent service. We were somewhat anxious sending out the only copy of the movies from our wedding in 1968 and delighted with the obvious care that you took with our film. We look forward to showing the DVD at our 40th wedding anniversary party next month. Many thanks!
Linda M., Glenoma, WA               6 November 2008

We received our DVD transfers of our film - great job. Good quality! Thanks for helping us see something that hadn't been seen FOR YEARS! I will definitely tell others about your service.
Jim N., Lake Charles, LA               11 November 2008

I have reviewed the Hard Drives and DVDs and I am pleased with the results. The Colorist did an excellent job and the process was very professional. I would highly recommend you and will use you again if I find more film.
Scott W., Wilmette, IL               12 November 2008

I received my 16mm transfers and I'm very pleased with the results. It was also very comforting to receive emails at every step, and to find everything labeled and packaged well. You obviously have a well-organized shop. I'll be sending in more stuff soon.
Lauren D., Tinton Falls, NJ               18 November 2008

We received the package today and everything looks WONDERFUL!!! Thanks so much! You have all been a pleasure to deal with, very prompt in responses, EXTREMELY helpful with information and answers to all my initial questions, timely turnaround and most importantly the quality is SUPERB, truly wonderful! A true overall delight, a wonderful experience!
Sueanna B., Wichita, KS               18 November 2008

As I am sure you can assume, the DVD with the wedding was a huge hit at the 50th Anniversary party. Thank you for working so diligently to get the DVDs to us so quickly. I have watched all three of them three times!
Tom S., Delaware, OH               21 November 2008

I watched the MiniDVs last night, and I have to tell you that I was amazed at the sharpness and clarity of the transfer. I was really floored from the first few seconds because the colors really jumped out. The first tape was an 8mm film from 1963, and I couldn't believe the brightness of the colors. I was used to viewing them on a projector and screen...the MiniDVs were so much better!

I spent a lot of time weighing which house should transfer the 2,300 feet of film I had. I received a $100 off coupon, a 15& off coupon, and a free shipping coupon from the "largest" transfer company, but I still picked you, and I'm glad I spent the extra money. All of the other places agree - rank cintel is the best transfer process there is. I don't know what "their" transfer would have looked like, but I'm 100% sure it could not possibly have been better than yours.

Again, thank you for the transfer. I could not have asked for anything better. All of my family members are going to be shocked when they receive their copies as Christmas gifts this year! I'm sure all my aunts, uncles, and cousins will want copies too.
Cathey W., Harahan, LA               21 November 2008

I have finally finished viewing all of the DVDs you sent and all I can say is WOW! You have saved priceless memories for me and you were able to transfer film that I thought was too far "gone." Prior to using your group I had some of the film transferred by another company but the transfers that you did for me proved how superior your technique is - there was no comparison in the color quality and stabilization. You were great in answering all my questions and giving me information about the process. I completely enjoyed working with you all.
Jeannie B., Brookings, OR                24 November 2008

I just wanted to let you know that I received the movie shipment and at least the first few minutes of the first DVD works beautifully in my DVD player. I can only vouch for the first few minutes, not because it was unwatchable, on the contrary seeing these once young people having such a lively time brought on a spate of weeping and I had to turn it off. Thank you so much: for the memories restored, for your care of our precious film, and for just plain being pleasant to deal with.
Jim W., Portage, MI               25 November 2008

I received my most recent batch of 16mm and 8mm film to .avi conversions and they were, as usual, of the highest quality.
Warren W., Ann Arbor, MI               30 November 2008

Thanks for doing such a great job transferring my 30-year-old Super 8 sound film onto a MiniDV and DVD for me. As your technician saw, the original images were poor because much of the film was shot with available light back in the days of Kodachrome film. But you did an excellent job of cleaning the film and giving me the best possible quality from the original. I appreciate the time and effort that went into your work. I'm now going to send you the rest of my precious old films and hope you can do as good a job with them as you did with the first.
Jennifer H., Grand Rapids, MI               1 December 2008

I was extremely pleased with my transfer - and I really appreciate your doing it ahead of schedule as my father was visiting for Thanksgiving and was able to view it. Especially with the films from the 1930s, your company did a wonderful job of preserving my family history. I must say I was a little trepidatious sending my films away to an unknown company that I found on the web, but I couldn't be more pleased with your service. Both before I sent the films (when one of your representatives answered some of my questions) to after I watched the films, I was very impressed with your level of service.
Martin B., Wayzata, MN               11 December 2008

As a retired documentary film maker from the 1950-70 era, I tried VCR for copies and was not happy with the results. When you have made and edited the films you know what the original holds. So when Rank made the first digital machines my interest peaked but my budget said no, but hopefully new generations of machines and much lower costs would come. Patiently I kept the answer prints and WOW, your quality! Your color, resolution and service are outstanding. I am giving many of my answer prints to the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul and suggesting that they use you in the future. Many thanks for making my hopes and dreams come true.
Andrea J., Rock Hall, MD               19 December 2008

Today we received the movies from the early 50s that you transferred for us. We sat down and watched the movie right away and brought back so many memories. We had the DVD made for my husband's parents that are now in their mid 80s for Christmas. The whole gang gets together for a family dinner on Christmas day. This year we will watch the movie and remember all the good times. Thank you so very much, you and your staff have made our Christmas a little more special and in these trying times these kind of memories get you through.
Randy Brown, Pasadena, MD               21 December 2008

I have used DMG's service twice. I was originally concerned about sending unique "one of a kind" 40-year-old films to anyone out of my immediate reach. I looked locally but the stores that offer film transfer either had amateurish equipment or sent the films out to a subcontractor. After speaking with your staff, I sent several historic films to you. I was delighted with the first results. The second set of films came out even better (they were stored in better conditions than the first set of films). In addition to the quality of the processing, your customer service is outstanding. I really appreciated receiving emails that you received my films, where they were in the schedule and that they had been sent back to me. And since the estimate was greater than the actual footage, I even received a refund for overpayment. Who does that these days? I hope that I can acquire additional films so I can send them to you for transfer to digital.
Tatiana S., Roseland, NJ               22 December 2008

Thanks so much! The DVD turned out great. Can't wait to watch it with my grandparents and parents at Christmas! It will be great for them to see themselves 40 years ago!! We plan on using you guys every year to transfer an old film to DVD. My entire family gets such a kick out of being able to just pop it in the DVD player without setting up the projector. We haven't seen these films in years and this makes it so much easier and accessible. Thanks again!
Edward D., Greenwich, CT               22 December 2008

I received the DVDs and tapes of my home movies and they are the hit of our family holiday this year. Thank you all very much for rushing this through at a very busy time. All of the footage looks great!! I've been producing TV commercials in NY for a long time so I know what a good colorist can do for film that needs a little "help."
Mark L., Ridgewood, NJ               23 December 2008

I cannot thank you enough. The result was so good that I do not expect to edit anything. The picture quality is much better than I had hoped, considering the conditions under which the films had been kept for so many years. Most of the video looks as good as new.
Eugene A., Miami Beach, FL               4 January 2009

We watched these videos with the family for Christmas and my brother-in-law was so impressed with the quality that he probably will be reaching you for business to convert his family 8mm films as well. Can't put a price on the quality of the transfer, and it's pretty amazing to watch videos you saw 30 years ago in even better color and clarity than your memory recalls. Happy New Year to you all and thanks for the quality service.
Tim C., Henderson, NV               4 January 2009

I wanted to thank you for the outstanding job your company did on my order. I was impressed with the quick turnaround time and even when there were some technical issues (which in retrospect were probably my fault), you followed through professionally and without delay.

My 8mm movies included a lot of footage from family vacations to Disneyland when I was a child. As an amteur Disney historian, these are among my most treasured segments. I did some editing and have posted a few videos on YouTube with more to come. In comparing my vidoes to other 8mm Disney footage on YouTube, I continue to be impressed with how much better mine look. The quality of the work you did really shows. I can't believe how poor other archival videos look. I have no regrets taking the extra time and money to have my digital transfers done right.

Thank you again for a job well done. Happy New Year!
Dean J., Manchester, CT               4 January 2009

Received the film and MiniDV on time to edit it for Xmas, which I appreciate. The film looked very good. Thanks for the good job and fast return.
Phyllis & Glen H., Front Royal, VA               5 January 2009

As usual, you all did a beautiful job on our movies. These were movies from our wedding and my sisters' weddings. We just celebrated our 40th anniversary and these movies were still so clear. We are originally from Johnstown so we knew we could trust a company in PA. Happy New Year and thanks so much.
Carol V., Sioux Falls, SD               12 January 2009

The movies are fantastic. The colors are richer and brighter than I ever dreamed possible. We really enjoyed them with our whole family on Christmas. I didn't tell you but my Mom has dementia and I was afraid I transferred the films too late for her to appreciate them. However, when we watched them Christmas she remembered them well, all the people and places from 50 years ago. Thanks for helping us to bring those memories to her.
Jim J., Roswell, GA               23 January 2009

Received everything today. I've looked at the "new" DVD and it is sensational! I can't believe the clarity, from a 50 year old 8mm film. Great job guys!
Kevin W., Elkins, WV               23 January 2009

I just received my DVD copies from you and viewed the 40-year-old film transfer. The quality work you did is incredible and I truly appreciate the exquisite work you did for me, a million thanks as you can imagine my angst in trusting anyone with my 40-year-old 16mm film. I will be back.
Edward M., Cicero, NY               29 January 2009

Waiting for my converted films to be returned was like the anticipation I used to feel as a child waiting for Christmas morning. Well Christmas came last week when I got home from work and saw my package had arrived. Not Christmas 2008 but Christmas 1957!

I can't adequately express my satisfaction and gratitude for how you treated my family's recorded history and memories. While I feel a little sympathetic for the colorist who had to watch these boring films, please convey my acknowledgement of appreciation and admiration of their skills. DMG's attention to detail is obvious right down to the packaging and shipping container!

First, upon researching 8mm transfer options it can easily be said that your web site is by far the most comprehensive and informative out there. All of my questions were answered (even the ones I didn't think to ask). It was written clearly and in language for both the layman and the tech geek in me.

Next I decided to call with a list of questions (more like clarifications). The person who answered the phone said he could answer my questions and proceeded to do so. I was treated like I had priceless rare footage in my possession. All my concerns about the quality of the old splices, burns, etc. were no problem for your equipment and any repairs would be done as part of the service. This person spent at least 15 minutes with me. When there were no more questions to ask I asked this person for his name as I always do. This person was Stuart Debenham himself! I like a man who answers his own phone even though I'm sure he employs many.

A week later after I gathered all the films from various family members I had a few more questions and called again. This time I was forwarded to another person who showed me the same patience and courtesy. It was obvious that he was knowledgeable but what struck me the most was his enthusiasm. It was clear that he truly enjoyed what he did.

That did it. Off went the package for the two day trip to your studio. I received the email confirmation the same day you received it (and possibly the same hour it was signed for as evidenced by FedEx shipping logs). The email said to expect a normal production time of 2-3 weeks plus return shipping. I'm sorry to inform you that you were incorrect. The total time for production was several days less than two weeks!

Upon opening the box and wading thru the ample layers of popcorn and bubble wrap I found:

1. My original films archived on large reels and heat sealed in a heavy plastic bag for storage. I could probably submerge this bag in water without it leaking (but I won't).

2. The high-quality Verbatim DVDs.

3. All of my original reels and cases as discussed. These were important to me because my father, now deceased, had tagged the 5" metal cases with dates and notes in his own hand. They are as valuable to me as the film they contained.

4. The portable hard drive that was formatted, loaded and ready to use including the cables. All I had to do was plug it into the computer and I was ready to edit. Oh, by the way, it did not go unnoticed that the hard drive was not the 160GB model that I had ordered. It was in fact a 250GB model by a quality manufacturer with an external SATA port! Knowing your attention to detail I doubt that this was provided in error but if it was then I will gladly pay for the upgrade. If not then the increase in transfer speed is a welcomed bonus.

To say that the finished product was stunning would be a gross understatement. The colors of a well lit and properly exposed clip are amazing! Unfortunately these home movies were not filmed by the best equipment and usually not in ideal conditions. That being said, I can definitely see more detail in several church/wedding scenes that were severely under-exposed thanks to you trained personnel. It's not a "Hollywood version of CIA spy footage enhancement" but more is better. It's like finding buried treasure when you see something that you never saw before with the old projector!

It's now time to begin my hobby of editing the footage. While I highly praise your efforts and would recommend your services to anyone, I'm afraid that my wife may curse you for the same reasons. Editing is a time consuming and absorbing process for me and the cut into the free time may cause a rift in the relationship! If your ears ring for the next month or so at least you'll know why!

Thanks again. All companies should provide this level of service, quality and commitment to their customers. I believe that the economic difficulties that face the world would not exist today if they did business as you do.
Joe T., Aventura, FL               3 February 2009

I was able to view all the DVDs this weekend and I need to tell you WOW! Great work. I was especially gratified and amazed upon viewing those films from 70 years ago in the rusty tin cans which I wasn't sure if anything at all would come out of them. All the other movies were 35 years old and came out great too. So, if I ever need to recommend someone for this kind of work, you can count on me. Thank you very much. Your work was very professional and timely.
Daniel B., Bend, OR               3 February 2009

I received my DVDs and films after the holidays and couldn't be more pleased. Great job! My family archives are now safe. I was also surprised at your feedback and quality control notes that accompanied my project. Thank you for your expertise and craftsmanship.
Kathleen A., Jackson, NJ               4 February 2009

You did great!! We just found more film and will be sending it to you this week. Thank you for your fine work.
Carin K., Santa Ana, CA               9 February 2009

We received the DVDs today. I viewed all of them and was very pleased. Thanks for a good job. I'm sure my parents will enjoy them as well.
Joyce W., Bountiful, UT               10 February 2009

Just a note to tell you how happy we have been with our movie transfers. We are editing, adding still photos, narration, music, other historical data, and are sharing with other family members. We had originally purchased a "machine" to do the transfers ourselves, but found that the time/precision involved in doing so many small reels was just not worth our time. How glad we are that we decided to have you do it for us. Every facet of your service has been excellent.
Pierre T., Fort Myers, FL               12 February 2009

I am absolutely delighted with your celerity, courtesy, and above all the outstanding quality of your work!!!
Josiane M., Seattle, WA                6 March 2009

I was thrilled to see my old movies so clearly, without the flicker and jitter of the projector! They run so smoothly! Your process captured quite a bit of detail on such tiny frames. Years ago, I had stopped taking Super 8 movies because they just did not look very good projected...but now I wish I had taken more! Thank you for an important job well done!
Steve A., Charlottesville, VA                2 March 2009

Thanks for a first-rate transfer of my Super-8 footage of a TV show being recorded at Jefferson Cable Studios in Charlottesville, Virginia on March 17, 1972 (my 20th birthday - BTW). It was fun seeing a single-head IVC VTR running again. Some of this footage will be used in a "mocumentary" I'm working on. As my budget allows, I will be sending more footage for transfer. With my 16mm, I may take the uncompressed-HD-on-a-hard-drive route. I have recommended your service to an old friend who used to work with me in Jefferson Cable's production department. He shot hours of 16mm.
Chris and Jerry B., Santa Barbara, CA                23 February 2009

Thank you for the great job you did on our 16mm transfers. We were very pleased with the work and have totally enjoyed looking at our old films without the projector, changing reels, etc. A special thank you for your consideration with our transfers being a christmas present for our daughter. You called and kept us updated on the status of the job in relation to Dec. 25 and even offered to send the DVD that was completed - that was very thoughtful service. We have 16 more reels to transfer and I'm sending off another 1600 feet to you today. Thank you again and we look forward to doing more business with your company.
Susan A., San Francisco, CA                21 February 2009

I just want to thank you for the great job you did on all my footage and for your friendly, helpful service. I have already told people about your great service and will continue to do so. I'm so glad I found you.
Harry B., Edgewater, MD               21 February 2009

Thank you, I was more than pleased with what an excellent job you did on transferring my old films to DVD.
Toni O., Alfred Station, NY               20 February 2009

We received the film and DVDs yesterday and watched them last night. We had no idea what would be on the films or if there would be anything at all viewable. Well, we loved them, and of course wished there were more left behind. Thank you for everything you did to make such a successful transfer. Lots of the family will have lovely moments watching the newly transferred films - priceless!!! Thank you so much for your excellent skills and professional approach to your work. We are grateful.
Curtis S., Sudbury, ON                20 February 2009

Thank you for the excellent results transferring my father's 8mm movies to digital media. We are all impressed with the results and they were exactly as advertised. I am also impressed with the care that was taken from start to finish. The separate shipments gave us an additional feeling of security as did the communication received throughout. Once again, many thanks.
Mario R., McAllen, TX               19 February 2009

I received the package with the 2 DVDs yesterday. After reading you advertisement about your company and your work, I had high expectations. I will say that your efforts and your work exceeded my expectations. The DVDs are very good, and will serve our purpose excellently. I thank you and your staff.

This morning I called the "grove" where we buy our citrus fruit and our freshly squeezed orange juice supply and ordered a box of Texas Red Grapefruits for you. I asked that they be shipped immediately. I appreciate the personal efforts that you exerted. I hope that you and your staff enjoy the fruit.
John. M., South Fork, PA               24 April 2009

I have received the DVDs transferred from our home movies and I am satisfied with what you were able to salvage. I may have some additional transfers for you in the future.
George G., Centerport, NY               18 April 2009

We received the DVD you made from the 35mm film taken probably eighty years ago. As a retired engineer, I look back in awe at the tremendous advances in technology in every aspect of our daily lives. And having been part of it for 40 years, I almost wish I were part of it today. However, since I can't be part of creating the technology, I just enjoy utilizing it. Tonight we enjoyed the product of the technology that you utilized to preserve a treasure for my wife. The clarity and resolution of the DVD transfer was remarkable for a film that old. And the look of joy on my wife's face as she viewed her mother dancing as a young adult was priceless. Thank you so much.
Steve D., Dallas, TX               20 April 2009

Thanks, you managed to squeeze the most quality possible from my under-exposed 8mm films. I'll be sending more films your way.
Alan G., Plainsboro, NJ               12 May 2009

Thank you so much. You did a great job and we appreciate it. I'm so glad [a national competitor of yours] screwed up the shipping process! You completed the job much earlier than [the competitor] said they would have, even assuming that they would have finally shipped the special mailing boxes, and I have no doubt that your quality is far superior. We're just amazed that it looks so good after 53 years. I can't wait to share it with the rest of my family!
Debbie N., Brooklyn, NY               4 May 2009

Thank you for the excellent job you did in transferring my parents' 1952 16mm wedding film. The quality surpassed our expectations. I also appreciated the time you and your team spend on the phone with me explaining the various options, and suggesting that I do the basic transfer first and that if, after viewing, I thought it needed the extra stabilization, I could simply send the tape back for that to be added on. The project was completed for much less than other companies quoted me. And, you finished the job ahead of schedule! I am very impressed with your company and highly recommend you!
Monty C., Albemarle, NC               4 May 2009

I received the order last week and it looks great. I was disappointed that there was not more but then that's not your fault. GREAT JOB. I will keep your information and if I need more you will be the first. It may be good for other PI's around the country to know of your quality work and honesty. It really goes a long way.
Evelyn A., Trenton, UT               4 May 2009

I was very pleased with the results of my movies that you transferred to DVD! I had another company do them originally and wasn't very happy with the results, so I found your company online. You were able to bring out parts that before were unrecognizable because they were too dark or too light. I had hoped for more color in some places, but I guess the 60-year-old film had just faded too much. So thank you for a job well done! I would recommend your company to anyone.
Phil G., Afton, TN               4 May 2009

My DVD arrived today, and I want you to know that I'm absolutely delighted with the results of your work. The clarity and color intensity of your transfer process is amazing! I couldn't ask for better results, especially considering the fact that these movies are old and have deteriorated considerably. Please extend my congratulations and my sincere thanks to your colorist who handled this project. I have more movies that I will be sending you over the next several months. I hope you are able to achieve the same outstanding results with the rest of my home movies. Thanks again!
Lani H., Manhattan Beach, CA               1 May 2009

I just wanted to say thank you for the great job you did on my films. I love them. I have given your name to everyone who is looking for your services. I had some of my films done before and they do not even compare to how well you transferred them. Thank you to the highest degree. Your company and the people who work there are fantastic.  You will be hearing from me again because I am getting ahold of my family's films and I will send them to you soon.
Pam S., Manhattan Beach, CA               24 April 2009

My movies are beautiful. Thank you.
Bradley S., Brooklyn, NY                29 May 2009

In regards to my 16mm to DVD and MiniDV, everything was completed exactly as promised. I'm very happy with the results.
Paul S., Nanuet, NY               29 May 2009

Fabulous job on my home movies, and reasonably priced. Thanks so much. I'm sending another reel, my parents' wedding. I look forward to seeing it, too.
Chris A., Los Angeles, CA               28 May 2009

You are terrific. I am returning to convert another reel that I just found. Your patience in speaking with me the first time and wonderful customer service were excellent. And the end product was as promised.
John S., Joliet, IL               22 May 2009

I received my DVD yesterday, and I could not wait to view it! The film brought back many good memories, and you did a wonderful job transferring it to a DVD. I kid you not: being able to watch that film for the first time in 25 or so years really made my day (especially as I listened to the accompanying sound track that is on an old tape casette). I watched the film about ten times so far, and I cannot wait to show it to my sister (who also had a starring role). Thank you again for bringing me such joy.
Chad A., Ventura, CA               19 May 2009

Got my transfers. Thank you, great quality. Very happy, will be sending more reels!
Chuck T., Saratoga, CA               3 June 2009

I had worked with MyMovieTransfer.com (MMT) a few years ago when we had some other old family 16mm silent films transferred to digital format and placed on a disk. I was very impressed with your company at that time. For this more recent transfer, I convinced the person holding the films that you folks would do a good job and that he needed to let them go across the country.

I am happy to report that, as before, MMT handled everything in a most professional manner, including allowing us to ship and bill to two different addresses. The copies look pretty good; I have never seen the original films. As near as I am able to assess, the copies are as good as could be expected given the quality of the film that was sent to you and the transfer process we selected. I have shown the digital copies to a number of family members and all have been thrilled to see them.

I also want to thank you for any expediting you may have done. My mother-in-law had been talking of these films for as long as I have known her, more than 30 years. The films contained images of her family from when she was about 12 years old up through the birth of some of her nieces and nephews. When her health began to deteriorate, I became somewhat insistent that the holder of the films send them to you. I received the disk and was able to show her the movies about 3 weeks before she died. It was VERY special.

So thanks again. I would be happy to recommend your services to anyone.
Jill M., South Haven, MI               3 June 2009

We received our DVD in the mail today and wanted to let you know how happy we were with our order. We were nervous about sending out our old home movies, but we mailed them in at the last minute, hoping to get them back to show them at a wedding this summer. We were so impressed with your fast service and especially with the email updates on your progress! We will definitely be sending in more movies to you again soon!
Andrew H., Princeton, NJ               4 June 2009

Thank you so much for the digital transfer of my 8mm movie films. I took a peek at volume 1 last night. WOW! I had forgotten much of what I had taken 37 years ago as a kid with my grandfather's Bell & Howell camera. It didn't help matters that the movie projector bulb had long ago burned out. My childhood years on DVD - priceless!! Absolutely wonderful job with the transfer. It looks really nice. Obciously some (not much actually) of the film had scrathes or streaks, but this sort of 'patina' lends an aura (distance?) to the glimpse of days gone by. I like that aspect. We intend to do some editing and add a music track to it... the edited DVD will become a present to my brother for his 50th birthday this summer. Thanks again for restoring forgotten memories!
Adam S., Washington, DC               15 June 2009

I have been thrilled with the transfers you made for me last week, and another batch is headed your way. Following in Dad's footsteps, I am a picky television producer myself, and was very surprised how well the film looked (especially knowing how poorly it was stored in my mother's basement).
Tammy L., Harrisburg, PA               18 July 2009

Let me take the time to tell you how pleased I was with the quality, shipping, care and overall professionalism. I am so happy that I picked your company to convert my mother's old home movies, when I played them it was like seeing my grandfather and aunt again. They both passed away years ago. When I received the package I was pleased with how it was shipped, so carefully. I would tell anybody who wants movies done to go to your company. You should be pleased with yourselves, by bringing back people's youth you make us feel whole again. You get four stars!
Charlie C., Novi, MI               16 July 2009

I received the movies you recently transferred to a hard drive and just pulled them up on my computer. Wow! The quality is amazing! Beyond what I thought could be possible. My dad, who is close to 80, took all these films and I know he will be blown away when I show them to him. Thanks so much! Also, I have to say that the speed of your service is amazing!
Bob R., Fishers, IN               15 July 2009

You did a great job with very old and fragile media. Thank you.
Julius F., Marshfield, MA                14 July 2009

This is our second film that you've transferred to DVD. The first films were of our wedding and honeymoon. We plan to celebrate our 50th anniversary next month and watching that DVD will be a key part of our celebration. I was very impressed with the quality you were able to transfer from these old movies. It seemed like they had not deteriorated in the 50 years that they sat in our basement. The quality looked just as I remember watching them on our old 8mm projector. I was also thankful that you provided a digital tape with the DVD. We were able to add some of our old music, and titles, and we now have a very professional looking DVD. Each time we watch this DVD we're transported back 50 years to celebrate these happy occasions again. Thank you for the quality service you provided in the film transfer. You've made two old people very happy as we watch this DVD over and over again. The current films you've transferred continue our marriage story as I trace our first 20 Christmas celebrations as our three children came onto the scene, and grew into young ladies. We look forward to viewing this DVD very soon. Thank you again for the excellent service you provided. You will continue to be our only and well recommended film transfer studio.
Artie L., Fernandina Beach, FL               13 July 2009

We received the digital copies, and have watched the old movies with great pleasure. Thanks for helping us to preserve special family moments! We will save your contact information and make referrals to our friends who have this need.
Mike K., White Rock, NM               11 July 2009

I have to give your company big kudos for the job you did. I watched the movies the other night with an aunt and uncle. They thoroughly enjoyed them. Your company certainly did a fine job with the entire process. Thanks again for handling these family treasures with such professionalism.
Mike R., Alexandria, VA               6 July 2009

Received the film yesterday. Very pleased with the results. You did an excellent job. I will be sending you the rest of my super 8 reels - about 19 I think. Thanks again.
Mike R., Alexandria, VA               23 July 2009

Wanted to let you know the films arrived.  Thanks for the good work and please pass on my thanks to your staff.  They have done everything I expected and very quickly.  I am very happy with the work you have done.
Kristen, Chicago, IL               28 July 2009

I just wanted to send you a little note regarding how pleased I was with the film transfer you did for me last month.  It was a gift for my Mother's 70th birthday and she could have not been happier.  The original 8mm films were in horrible condition and I was afraid that none of it could be salvaged.  I was amazed at the end result.  I also want to thank your staff for being so thorough in explaining the process and what I needed to do.  It was a breath of fresh air getting such fine customer service.         
Richard H., Bel Air, MD            28 July 2009

I want to thank you for the excellent job your company did in transferring our 8mm movies to digital files.  Most of these movies were from the late 1940's and had not been stored in the best of conditions, but the end product was excellent.  The clarity in most of these files is remarkable.  Needless to say you have a very satisfied customer and I highly recommend your services.  You have provided my family with many hours of great memories.
Bruce F., Salt Lake City, UT            30 July 2009

The transfer arrived this afternoon.  Very professional from the comprehensive evaluation of the original production to the extremely accurate transfer to digital medium.  Being a former film/video producer, I can appreciate your studio, talent, and results.  Thank you.        
Jerry M., Slidell, LA            31 July 2009

Thanks for the effort involved converting our 8mm films to DVD, allowing us to view 40 years of old memories.  Your services were as advertised: professional and timely.
Thank you for a job well done.
Phil G., Afton, TN            31 July 2009

I received my recent DVD and MiniDV tape transfer of my home movies today.  This is the third transfer that your company has done for me, and I again am absolutely amazed at the quality of your work!  I never would have imagined that your transfer process would yield such clairty and depth of color from these old home movies.  Your efforts have ensured that these treasured family memories will be with us for many, many years, and I thank you for that!

Again, I congratulate you and your staff for an excellent job.  I have more movies that I will be sending to you. I can tell you honestly that I am very pleased that I entrusted Debenham Media Group with this work.

Please feel free to use this note on your web site!
Frank L., Libertyville, IL            3 Aug 2009

The DVDs arrived on Saturday and I had a chance to look at most of them.  WOW, I could not be more pleased with your work.  While looking on the web for information about 8mm transfer, I found your site along with 5 others.  After narrowing it down to two options, I sent an email to each company.  Your quick response (less than a day) made the choice very easy. Now to have the entire project complete in LESS than two weeks...amazing.  I know the film was not in great shape and some poor quality footage, however, there is no question that the DVDs are better quality than the original 8mm film.

Thanks for providing a great service!
Karen B., Dracut, MA            3 Aug 2009

Where do I begin???  My parents had a number of 8mm films that had been sitting up in their attic for 30-40 years.  The last time any of us watched them was when we were in our teens and then the projector broke.  Fixing the projecter was never a priority and so the films collected dust in the attic.

Last year during the holiday, the films came up in conversation as they always do.  And, as we always did, we all agreed we need to get them transferred to DVD someday but this year I decided that enough was enough and it was time to get them transferred.  After all, my parents are in their mid-70s and none of us "kids" were getting any younger and I thought it would be a lot of fun for our kids to see that their parents were once young too!

So I began what I thought would be a daunting and stressful but necessary project.  The films were old, possibly brittle, and who knows what state the images were in?? A number of other transfer shops that my Dad had explored over the years had issued countless disclaimers about how they wouldn't be responsible for the films if they broke due to brittleness so that made him nervous about embarking on the project.  My Dad had done some research online and had found MyMovieTransfer.com.  He had a couple of email exchanges with them and gave me all of the information and correspondence that was exchanged between them.  I read through everything and it looked to me as though MyMovieTransfer.com was professional, reasonably priced, and legitimate.  And, as their name implied, that was their core business.  To be on the safe side though, I decided to do a bit of my own research since I am in Massachusetts and MyMovieTransfer.com is in Pennsylvania, I was hoping to find a company that was closer to home as I was very nervous about packing up our irreplacable family films and handing them off to a carrier.  I spent several hours doing research and could not find anyone that exhibited the same level of professionalism and legitimacy as MyMovieTransfer.com did.  I wanted to have the films transferred by a company whose primary business is the film industry - not by someone who does it part time out of their garage.  So, I decided to take a chance on MyMovieTransfer.com.

Over the past seven months, I have had four orders of film transfer processed by MyMovieTransfer.com for a total of approximately 3,400 feet of film!  They did an outstanding job!  In many cases the DVD images were clearer and the colors more vibrant than I recall them to be on the original film.  The customer service was way beyond expectations.  It was very clear to me with my first order that the team at MyMovieTransfer.com is well aware of the value of the films they process and they show it in everything they do - from promptly acknowledging the receipt of the film when it arrives in DMG, to clearly setting expectations for processing times, to promptly processing the film (most of the time earlier than expected), to finally notifying us that our films and DVDs are on the way back to us.  I was so impressed right from the start and after the first order went so smoothly, I was extremely confident and relaxed about sending out subsequent orders.

My family and I have enjoyed watching our family films once again and it's been a lot of fun sharing them with our own children.  Thank you so much for the wonderful work that you do and for truly uderstanding what is important to your customres.  I wish you continued success in your business for many, many years to come.
Bob P., Seneca, SC          5 Aug 2009

Thank you very much for the excellent service and quick turnaround.  Special thanks to Greg M. for his help and expertise; he is a valuable asset to your company.  In the future I will be sending additional films for conversion, the quality is excellent!!!

Again, thank you.
Stephen B., Coral Springs, FL            16 Aug 2009

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your transfers.  It was beyond what I had expected.  I will be getting together more reels to be copied, and get them out to you.  Thank you for all of your help.
Jack K., Rockland, MA            2 Sept 2009

Just received my DVD with 50 minutes of old 8mm transfers.  Very good indeed considering the age and poor storage of the 8mm.  I will be sending you another batch shortly.
Knox L., Columbia, SC          9 Sept 2009

Back in early April of this year, you supplied m with a near perfect 8mm to DVD transfer of my high school days in 1958.  I don't know how you did it...the darker shadows were brought into the light and with brilliant color.  The DVD has a better image than the movie film does.  You guys are great.

You not only did great work, but you exceeded my schedule!  Thank you for that.  It took a lot of pressure off of me.  Thanks!
Connie B., Brooksville, FL           4 Sept 2009

I can't thank you enough for putting all the film on one large reel. It sure makes it easier to store.  Also, thanks for the post card about the MiniDV tape.  The information on that card was very good - things that I didn't know about before, but do now.  Of course, being a novice, it will take me a while to understand exactly how to do this.

Thanks for also putting the movies on the external hard drive.  That is being put away right now until I am ready to work with it.

The DVDs really brought back so many memories, many of which I had forgotten until I saw the movies.  I can't thank you enough.  All of my family is gone, so these are really very precious to me.

Again, thank you so much for all the good work that your company has done for me.  I wouldn't hesitate to work with you in the future, if needed, and also to recommend you to others as well.
Dean M., Wellesley, MA          4 Sept 2009

I'd like to end our e-mail thread here with a big applause to you and your team.  The video transfer you did for us was exceptional and the turn around much faster than we anticipated.  You were able to help us meet our deadline.

Thanks again for your help.
Dorothy B., San Antonio, TX            5 Sept 2009

Thanks so much for sending the film transfer so quickly.  You did a great job as usual especially considering how old and the poor condition of our films.  They have literally been through the war and flood.  But the fantastic thing is there's pictures of my father that we'd long forgotten existed!  I will be sending a check for the MiniDV so that I won't take a chance of having to have the original rescanned.  Again thanks.
David E.., Muncy, PA           24 Sept 2009

I just received my order from you.  My wife and I have watched the DVD.  I was so pleased to see movies that I've not seen for more than 20 years!!  The pictures were sharp and clear, better than I remembered.  I have about 20,000 feet more to have transferred.  So I'm sure you will be hearing from me again.

Thank you so much.
David S., Chicago, IL          24 Sept 2009

Received my order from you yesterday.  The entire process was quick and professional.  The film transfer was great quality.  I'm going to send you another batch of 8mm films soon.

Thanks so much!
Mac G., Juneau, WI            24 Sept 2009

We received our film and DVDs yesterday via FedEx.  It was fun tracking the package as it made its way across Ohio to Chicago and then up here to Wisconsin.

I'm impressed by how well the process was organized.  You completed the job in a very timely fashion.  I've done a brief review of the DVDs - excellent work!

And thanks for the refund check.

Side note:  The 16mm film was from my parents' wedding - dated 1928.  I got to see both my grandfathers who were deceased around the time i was born.  Thank you very much for the meeting.
Greg D., Sunnyville, CA    10 Oct 2009

Got the film transfers today.  You folks do impressive work.  I will send some more reels later this week.

Thanks!
Rod B., Mooresburg, PA            29 Sept 2009

Forty-odd years ago, three teenagers formed a rock band in our rural Central Pennsylvania village.  We played local venues for a number of years, firemans' carnivals, sock hops, school dances, and-the-like.  We also made a movie using one of our dad's 8mm cameras and about three rolls of splice tape.  To the outside, it wouldn't seem much; just a bunch of kids fooling around.  But we were proud of it; it was 35 minutes long, it told a story, and we produced all of the music with original songs, with only three exceptions.  We were tickled when it premiered at the local fire hall before all of our friends, parents, and the whole community.

Each of us eventually got married, went off to college, built our careers, travelled separate paths.  One of us kept the film as a memento of a youthful, bygone era, pulling it out every few years just to reminisce.

Then two years ago we reformed the band for a reunion concert...and kept playing.  Today, we play local venues plus whatever other gigs we can find.  At one of our practices we pulled out that old 8mm film just for a laugh and decided that we better do something to preserve it before it was lost forever to the ravages of time.

We sent it to a company to have it converted to a DVD, but the company we chose got the reels mixed up, left parts out, and didn't do anything to correct the places where 40-year-old splices got stuck, resulting in uneven framing.  Our initial excitement over the project quickly faded.

Not to be discouraged by this failure, however, we decided to try the conversion ourselves.  It was, quite frankly, a frustrating experience that involved buying a machine, into which we projected the film using an old 8mm projector, all the while filming the resulting image using a digital camcorder.  And all in the dark.  What a convoluted mess!

We resolved to try one final time before throwing our hands up and abandoning the project.  Then one day as I was searching Amazon.com for some 8mm-related equipment, I noticed a sponsored ad for your company.  I visited your website and started reading about the process you use to convert old 8mm film into DVD and, more imporantly, digital files.  I was impressed by the technology you employ in the conversion process, especially the use of equipment that allows you to create a digital image of the film without the actual celluloid being fed through a projector.  Your pledge of color enhancement was also enticing, plus you would clean the film and repair old splices!

So I called and spoke to a representative and asked some specific questions about processes and pricing.  He was quite friendly, answered every question to my complete satisfaction and acted in a thoroughly professional and trustworthy manner.  In fact, we even joked with each other that if I had known I would be sending a film, I could have dropped it off; just the week before I had come through Pittsburgh and ironically, right past your business!

I carefully packaged and mailed the film and just one week later, it was on its way back, along with a hard drive I had sent for the digital files.  The three of us were quite frankly stunned.  We had no idea the movie would look so good; the images were crisp (where they were supposed to be) and the color balance was absolutely remarkable.  I immediately began work on the digital file with my video editing program, never imagining it would be so easy and yet so precise.   When I was finished, we burned our own DVDs.  By way of contrast, we then included videos of us performing the same songs today that we premiered in our movie so many years ago.

I know I have rambled on, but I wanted you to understand that you have made three very sentimental old guys very happy.  Your pricing was quite reasonable and the quality of your work is exceptional.  You even returned the film on a new reel because it never did fit quite right on the old one we sent.

I also wanted you to know that we credited your company on the DVD label for digital video remastering. (Unfortunately, such an honor does not convey financial royalties; we don't sell the DVDs, we simply give them away to friends and family.  Sorry.)

Thank you so very much for taking such good care of our memories.
Andy M., San Jose, CA          3 November 2009

Quick turn, great quality, reasonable price, and easy to work with.
What more could one ask for? You are providing an excellent service!

My 16mm films turned out very nice. Thank you.

Repeat orders are the best form of flattery.
My second shipment of film (this time 8mm) should arrive to you by Thursday 11/5
Cliff R., Sequim, WA          18 November 2009

All I can say about your transfer of my Super 8mm to DVD is: THANK YOU, THANK YOU!  Excellent work on the transfer!  The film was getting worn out and now I don't have to worry about it anymore.  This was film from 1965 & 1966 taken while I was in Viet Nam.  The color & brightness on the transfer was better than the film itself.  I would recommend your service to anyone who has any film to transfer to DVD. I will be using your transfer service again for the rest of my 8mm film.  Thanks again!         
Bill S., Annandale, VA          16 Nov 2009

I received my transfer DVD and the result is very good, thank you for an excellent job.
Richard S. (on behalf of Dr. Jack S.), Phoenix, OR         20 November 2009

Dr. S. called me today and was very pleased with your excellent service.  I enjoyed dealing with you and will no doubt be sending some more folks your way!
Cynthia B., Australia          2 December 2009

I've just got to say what a great job you guys did when I sat back and watched it at home.  I was overcome with all kinds of emotions.  PRICELESS.  Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for all the time you spent transferring it for me, I have since found two more reels I've had to give to Video 8 to do here in Sydney.  They don't have your technology or give any promises. I am working non stop on completing the MFA, so the material you guys did will be in my MFA work.  Thank you again.

P.S.: Kids can't believe it's them.
Ted S., Beaver Falls, PA          7 December 2009

I looked at the DVD of the 16mm movies and was amazed at the "edge to edge" clarity of the image.  The fact that the grain is so detailed and clear suggests to me that I am seeing everything there is to see in the original emulsion.  WOW!
Greg D., Sunnyville, CA          7 December 2009

Another great job! The video looks a lot better than the original 8mm film. I have more films that I will send you after the holidays. Thanks. And have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year.
Riley T., Flint, MI          8 December 2009

I just wanted to write to thank you and your associates for doing a great job. This is my second transfer with DMG and I am truly impressed.  The picture is incredible for both the black and white and color rolls, despite the fact that I shot some scenes with less light than I should have!  One step that I do not have to worry about in post production is color correction, and whoever it was that processed the transfer has my grateful thanks.  I guess it goes without saying, I will definitely consider DMG in the future for future projects to be transferred.
Phil R., Carol Stream, IL          20 November 2009

This is the third order I've mailed to you in the last couple of years.  The others were 16mm family movies. (Some of those movies were from the 1940's).  Your results were spectacular.  How you managed to eliminate the "flicker" of our movies during your transfer process, I'll never know.  The color, sharpness and clarity of the movie images were far beyond what I expected.  My family was thrilled with the results.
Peter A., Fairfax, CA         19 December 2009

Thanks for completing my second order - as before, the transfer was crisp and well corrected for exposure and color.  My films were 55 years old and poorly shot, but the results were better than I had expected - much like opening a time-capsule.  I also appreciated the careful packaging.
Terry M., Kissimmee, FL          20 December 2009

We received our DVD and miniDV that you transferred for us from the reels of Super8 film we sent you.  We were dazzled with the quality of your work.  The video was sharp and clear and the color rendition was superb!  The technician did an excellent job.  We were so pleased that we mailed two more 200 foot reels of Super8 film to you two days ago.  Thanks again for the quality work that I expected and received.
Barbara J., Bridgeton, ME          21 December 2009

Was delighted you were able to transfer the films.  They were quite old and taken with a not so very sophisticated movie camera.  Sent them out to family and believe this was the best Christmas present ever conceived.  You preserved our treasured memories of a lifetime.  Lots of tears and laughter!  Thanks for a great job.
Tom R., Norton, MA          4 January 2010

Thank you for shipping my transfer in time for Christmas!  My wife was completely surprised!  We had never seen our wedding film (28 years).  Seeing it now was a thrill!  Thank you for the great job you did in processing my order so quickly.  It meant a lot to my family.
Jeff H., Albany, OR          4 January 2010

I received my film transfers this past weekend and am delighted with the quality of the transfer!
Don P., West Ford, MA           9 January 2010

Thank you for the great job you did in the transfer of my home movies.

I dealt with at least three different people (more than once in some cases) over there at MyMovieTransfer.com beacuse of how many times I called with questions before sending my original film :-) and I was incredibly impressed with the enthusiasm and professionalism of everyone.  It is very apparent that you people do not see your jobs as work and that you truly LOVE what you do, and you do it very well.  I will not hesitate to recommend you to everyone and anyone I know who needs this service, or anyone who asks me about this type of service.
David L., Warren, RI      9 January 2010

I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive about sending my father's 8mm films in the mail to a company I had never dealt with before.  But after receiving the DVDs and watching them, it did not dawn on me at first but you people actually took the time and put the movies in chronological order.  WOW!! It was great!  I will not hesitate to mention your company when I hear of someone looking for your service.  Once mom's 80th surprise party is over I plan on sending you the balance of the films to do.  Professionals you are.
Duncan J., Washington, DC          15 January 2010

The films are beautiful.  Thanks so much.
Linda M., Ithaca, NY          18 January 2010

Thanks for the wonderful transfer of our old 16mm Christmas movies to the great-looking DVD.  The memories are priceless and thanks to you they can now be viewed in great color and resolution.

Kudos also to Greg who was really helpful and fun to speak with when I called with questions.

And another nice surprise:  I overestimated the film length big-time, so what a nice surprise to find that the charge was $88 less than I expected.  Christmas all over again!
Don Z., New Auburn, WI         21 January 2010

The movies look great!
Bob and Pat A., Ellensburg, WA           28 January 2010

Just received the DVD today and it came out great.  I was impressed with the color and sharpness.  Wish my dad could have captioned things so I knew who all these folks were, but that was shot about 70 years ago and I may run the DVD by some historians.  I have a few more reels and will probably send some more in the near future.

I also mentioned you folks to some friends.
Chris H., Chicago, IL            25 January 2010

Hello! My footage arrived today and I couldn't be happier with it.  Absolutely stellar quality, far better than my previous lab.  Incredibly quick turnaround, obvious attention to detail, sharp images, and unerringly precise work.  I'll certainly be a return customer, I have no doubt.
Rita M., Meadeville, PA           28 January 2010

I just received the transfer of our 16mm films.  It is an excellent transfer of the less-than-ideal, very old film.  The sound quality is striking.  I am impressed.

You are definitely on my "to recommend" list for people asking about transferring their movies.

And your turn around time is very acceptable, given the scope of the project.
Randal A., Satellite Beach, FL         30 January 2010

I received the disc today and am very pleased with the results.  Thank you very much.
Tom B., Tucker, GA           30 January 2010

I received the transferred DVD and MiniDV tape yesterday.  You did a fine job.  I was surprised to find this old film dating back to the late 1960s when I was cleaning out my basement.  It sparked many memories from my childhood.
Ken P., Port Angeles, WA          2 February 2010

Yesterday I received a big box with my returned 16mm film, and 21 DVDs of the movies--enough for the whole family. 

We are thrilled!  At last, after years of storing the film out of concern that projecting them would damage them, we again have access to Dad's films.  And one DVD of Dad's films about Nova Scotia will now become part of the historical record of Shelburne, Nova Scotia.

Thank you for a quality job!
Josette L., Rhinebeck, NY          4 February 2010

You did just great!  Before sending the film I had a lot of questions...when I phoned all questions were answered in a clear and concise professional manner...later the transfer instructions were followed to the letter...the transfer was completed and returned before the estimated turn around time.

Thank you, it's a pleasure working with your company.
