Play It Again Video

I hired them to convert four, old 78 records to CDs. It looks like they played them on the wrong record player with the wrong settings — some came back as if they’d been played as a 33 and some as if played as a 45. The records were mostly of piano music, so the music came out as v.e.r.y s… l…o…w and low-​pitched because they were played at too slow of a speed. Another shop told me that in addition to speed differences, the 78 records should be played with a different type of cartridge than ³³⁄₄₅ records, so it would appear they didn’t do that either.
I’m familiar enough with computers to correct the speed in software, but it took a few hours of work, which I wasn’t super happy to have needed to do.
UPDATE: Increased rating from 2 to 3 stars — they kindly offered to refund the charge.

Recently, I needed to have a video camera recording of my daughter’s MLK Day speech transferred to a DVD for a national competition. It was a rush job with no margin for error. I received my DVD’s on time and on budget. I will definitely return for more work in the future.

I brought 10 rolls of 8 mm tape to be transferred to a dvd. I specifically asked how much it would cost if I wanted further copies done later from the Master tape and was told $ 25 per copy onto a new DVD. I had the job done and a few weeks later went back to have another copy made and was told it would cost $ 75.
wrong! That is not what I was told when I placed the order.
I took the Master tape and went to their competitor on the other side of town and they duplicated the tape for me for $ 25.
Also, when I picked up my original job, they spliced all rolls together into one continuous tape. I was not told this was going to happen and a little upset they did that to my property without informing me first.
«Get it in writing» when dealing with these people. But for me, I will just be using the other people from now on.

I have used this company twice now to transfer 8 mm film to digital format. Both times they have done an excellent job. It’s not inexpensive but worth every penny. They can transfer the film to USB drive or dvd. Also they gave me two tiny vhs type master copies in case I lost or damaged my dvd. In addition, they spliced all the 8 mm film onto larger reels. This was all done before the time frame they quoted and adjusted the price down as there wasn’t as much film as they estimated when I dropped it off.
If you are looking for good hands to preserve the memories of your family give this company a shot. I will use them again in the future for sure.

After procrastinating for years and years, I decided to bring in a few 8 mm cassette tapes from an old Sony Handycam, a few VHS tapes to be transferred to DVD and negatives to be transferred to a CD.
Can only say how pleased I am to not only have these memories now in front of me; but also very pleased with Play It Again Video.
Positive experience with everyone whether it be on the phone or in person. Very friendly, organized and sensitive to how precious these old tapes are to their customers. Was given the exact date of when everything would be ready and it was!
Watching just one of my DVDs was worth a million dollars to me. .. I laughed, I cried. Cannot wait to share these with my family over the upcoming holidays.
Do yourself a favor. .. dig those old tapes out. Bring them to Play It Again Video. You will be happy you did.

Myrtha and Alison came through big-​time for my wife and me in a crunch. They went way beyond the call of duty when we were facing a tight deadline. Matt and Melissa were also very helpful. Everybody at Play It Again Video is extremely customer service-​oriented. Thank you!

We have moved a box of 79 Super 8 mm film reels during several relocations over the past 30 years. Each move I would think «I really need to get these films spliced together and transferred onto DVDs» and then I would push them into the back of a closet and forget about them. I was afraid to trust someone to do the work. Finally this year I did some research and located «Play It Again Video» in MA. I live in NC. The staff at Play It Again was so helpful during the entire process. They helped put my mind at ease and were helpful explaining the process of transferring the film onto DVDs. They also suggested archiving the film onto an external hard drive to preserve the images. We received the completed products this weekend and have spent hours watching people, places and things from 27 – 32 years ago. We are thrilled with the results. Play It Again brought joy to our lives. Don’t hesitate to call them.
