Take One Video

If you never grew up in the era where video stores were plentiful, you are missing out.
I love movie stores. You explore and see things you either havent seen or forgot about, but now you have the opportunity to rent.
They offer video transfer services too.
My only problem is the video rentals are $ 5, but that is a 7 day rental.
The staff there are super friendly and knowledgeable about movies!

Great selection of videos! Also great studio for photography and video transfer services (both of which i used with success)!! Jason is the dude. Nice dogs make one feel at home.

Great job! I had a few high school football tapes that I was looking to get burned onto DVDs. Prices were the best I found and the quality was very good considering the medium. Highly recommend them!

Wow, what a great find. I was in need of a very fast same day mini-​DV to DVD transfer of my daughters 6^th grade play and they did not even hesitate to offer the quick turnaround. Both individuals I spoke with were very friendly on the phone and even more so in person. I will definitely be taking my other video transfer projects here.

Love the familiarity of seeing the same faces whenever we go in.
My all-​time favorite experience at Take One: as a child I watched a TV movie about aliens (I thought) kidnapping Santa Claus… Definitely not a quality flick, but nostalgic nonetheless. I was never able to remember the title. The guys at Take One found it & ordered it for me. Gotta love a business that goes the extra mile!

Pros:
Big selection of DVDs
They have a really friendly dog who wanders the aisles!
Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about movies.
Rentals are for a week.
Cons:
Place smells a bit like the dog that wanders the aisles.
Prices are $ 5 per movie.

So glad I used Unilocal and found this place!!! Owners and staff are very nice! Great selection, reasonable rental price, and friendly service… WOW! A good olé fashion video store, I love it!!!

This place is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, but it is a gem. I was looking for a specific Blu Ray DVD, but they didn’t have in stock. The DVD was a rare 80’s movie and I could not locate it anywhere. The guy/​owner suggested I try another place, but he said if I can’t find it; he would pre-​order it and have in within a week. Sure enough I couldn’t find it, but he had ordered the Movie for me and it was there the next week. I was not even charged for additional shipping. The other services they offer is video transferring and they also have a small photography studio. They do «head shots» if you needed to add one for your portfolio.

I «bumped» into this place minutes before closing, strictly by chance (had never heard of this place, but was ordering food from across the street and happened to have seen it). I looked at a couple of different places to see if a dvd I had could be fixed… at a reasonable price! Take One said that IF they could fix, the price would be $[it was really really fair, but I won’t post here because prices may very depending on what you want them to do]. Not only was the price reasonable, but after seeing how important the dvd was to me, these guys worked past closing hour to fix the dvd for me. I am very very grateful! Wish I could give 6 stars…

This is THE best place to rent movies! The owners know everything there is about movies. As my son has grown up, Jason has steered me in the right direction for appropriate family movies. I love this place.

One of the last privately owned video stores around. They are, quite simply, terrific…

Super nice and helpful staff. They have DVD’s I can’t get on Netflicks. It feels like a «mom» and «pop» business; the staff even brings their elderly dogs in, which makes it even better!

The last picture show right here. These guys still stock and rent out new movies on dvd. Good stuff too. Better than you can stream from Netflix or Hulu. Plus they’re super nice guys. I’ve also had them transfer old family videos onto dvd for me. When I had trouble watching one of the dvds, Jason figured out that it was my balky laptop, not the dvd. Then he spent an hour testing my laptop and getting it to run faster — no charge! Old-​fashioned neighborhood service and friendliness are as rare these days as finding dvd rentals. All of the above make this place a must for locals. May Take One Video live long and prosper.

Great place! Very knowledgeable and professional staff. Film and TV series selections abound. And if they don’t carry it, they will find it for you.
Jason is extremely generous with his many talents. And his talents include excellent computer savvy, videography, photo transfer, photography, to name a few.

After a miserable experience with a different company in Concord, I took a large project to Takeone to convert from 8 mm film to DVD. Jason did a spectacular job on my project. I had a lot of film and he carefully edited it to fix the colors and lighting and remove blanks spots. The project came out beautifully. He did films from 1962 to 1978 of my family as we grew up. We had ZERO problems with Jason’s work. The other place had so many problems including DVD’s that skipped back to the beginning before getting to the end, DVDs missing parts of what was on the original film, films they forgot to transfer, etc. It took many repeated trips to their store to get things corrected so we were determined to never go back there and to find a better place.
I AM SO GLAD WE WENT TO TAKE ONE!!!
Jason did everything perfectly the first time. He definitely viewed every single frame of this large project and manually enhanced the images as he went along. No items were missed and DVDs are all perfect. He is excellent at what he does and great to work with. I would highly recommend Jason and TakeOne Video!!!
Thanks so much for preserving our families memories!!!

I was in a bind and needed a VHS of old home movies transferred to DVD as soon as possible. The guys at Take One made sure that I had the DVD promptly and it looked great. Thanks and I’ll be back! P. S. As a dog lover, being greeted by the «killer dogs» at the studio was a bonus!

I had used the studio for a photo shoot I was doing and was completely impressed. Not only did the lighting pros set up the «einstein» lighting for me and change it up through out my shoot they also gave me great tips I didn’t know about my camera. At the end of the day I took over 400 amazing pictures. The crew gave me so many option for backdrops, lighting and props. Will be going back again!

These guys are amazing. Incredibly knowledgable and have a vast selection of often hard to find titles. The best video store in the east bay, hands down.

They don’t have a huge inventory but they do seem to have one of almost everything, and always seem to have limited release/​cult films that don’t get alot of media exposure. Owners are very knowledgeable and will hold a DVD for you to pick up

Great selection, great customer service, great location, knowledgeable staff, and lots of parking. This place easily gets a five star rating.
