Who
– ME?
I
have been transferring video to video for over 47 years.
For over 20 years, my profession was involved with the archival and digital asset departments of a major art museum. While I work from home now, as most transfer services on E-bay’ers do, I still have tapes coming in from them.
Since
then, I have endlessly maintained my own
equipment to provide the best service.
My
prices and service say it all. I’m retired from 40 years of film
and TV, and owning my own (80’s) video production company (who
doesn’t anymore?).
Q&A
Q-
Do you copy commercial films?
A-
Yes. I assume you own the print if it’s in your possession, and are
using this digital copy as an archive of your precious movie film. I
trust that you do not re-purpose it for U-Tub or F-book etc. But that
is your business, and infringement lawsuit!
Q-
Can I get still frames?
A-
Certainly! In fact, I can provide you with every frame of your tape,
and you can pick out and manipulate the ones you want. If you have a
decent editing system, like Premier, Avid, Davinci, etc., you can
bring them all in and “stitch” together a video. Like making a
card flip cartoon! My software does that in real time as each frame
is captured.
Q-
What format?
A-
You name it. The final output can be anything from ready to upload
You-Tube, to a hi quality mastering version for your post production.
Just let me know in the notes when you place the order.
Q-
Is there a warranty?
A-
Well, you are getting a digital file. I keep a copy here for 1 year,
just in case you misplace yours. Of course, all backups and storage
issues are yours!
Q-
What if I have14.25 minutes of final video?
A-
$9.95 per hour, plus shipping (no rounding)
Q-
How long are your prices good for?
A- Until I go broke doing it!
A personal note. Everyone listing tape services on E-bay and the Web all do a marvelous job of it.  Just8mm, Nostalgicmedia, LegacyBox, GibsonVideo, BestTapeTransfer and hundreds of others all do fine work.
Since we all have virtually the same equipment, the results all look similar, and of
course
, only as good as your tapes.
So the question is, how do you select?
My
recommendation
– Ask questions, get to know the operator/owner, and go with WHO is the better match for your project. Even if you write me for a second opinion, that’s O.K. I am happy to tap my 50 years of film experience, including theatrical projection, to help guide you through one of the most precious
family
projects you may ever have. And I do those orphan films. Even those dirty,
vinegar, smelly ones!
-Dave
ONLY 9.95 per recorded hour!
What they say:
Dave —
Just wanted to send a note thanking you for your great work on making a 2K transfer of my film adaptation of Franz Kafka’s
A HUNGER ARTIST.
It was a 36 year old black & white 16mm Inter Positive that had been haphazardly stored in damp basements and hot closets.
I didn’t have much hope for a good transfer but you worked your
Advantage Video Services
magic and gave me back a stunning picture at a great price.
I would – and will – highly recommend
AVS
for anyone with film to HD video needs.
Thanks again!
John S.
