Digital Video & Film Lab, LLC

Digital Video & Film was a pleasure to work with. They turned around my transfers in a very timely manner and did it for a fair price. The next time I find a stack of 8 mm and 16 mm film in the attic they will be my first call.

I am thrilled what the work Digital Video & Film Lab did for me, just go to «Janet Stegman Starring in HBO Here I Come!» or «Janet Stegman starting in Peter Pan» or «The Pirates of Penzance directed by Janet Stegman» on YouTube to see what excellent work these people do. I had them transfer my shows from VHS and even Beta to a format I could upload onto YouTube. They gave me plenty of personalized attention and made sure I was happy with everything, and in a short time I was easily able to upload my shoes onto YouTube for the whole world to see! And with excellent quality! Thank you Ray!!!

it seems I’m unable to delete my previous review, so I would like to update and amend it. The owner of Digital Video & Film Lab., LLC very kindly refunded my payment for the DVD’s and offered a substantial credit to try one more time to redo the DVD’s. Ray went out of his way to pick up the tapes and previously recorded DVD’s over the weekend at my home. Ray has been in contact with me by phone and by email reporting his findings. It appears the problem may be with my 10 year old DVD player and not the DVD’s themselves. When played on his own equipment, Ray is able to view the complete recording of each VHS tape. So, I will be purchasing a new DVD player this weekend and am offering my apologies to Ray for my previous negative review. He is a very good businessman and a gentlemen, who keeps his word. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his company to my friends.

Very simple. Dropped off some old VHS tapes and got DVDs.
Friendly staff and quick turnaround time (about 1 week).

Ray is the real deal. Picked up the phone himself on the 2^nd ring, followed up when he got my tape, let me know when it was ready and even reminded me it was waiting for me when I couldn’t swing by when I thought I could. Oh yeah, he transferred it earlier than he said he originally could, so it was ready a day or two earlier than expected. And the prices are totally reasonable. Run, don’t walk!!!

not a photography or scanning store

Ray was very attentive and followed up to let me know the status of my order. He even delivered the finished product to my doorstep. My unusable DV tapes are now perfect .mov files which I can edit and watch online. Top-​notch!

Ray was amazing. I handed over precious videos of my kids growing up over the years and he returned them in the updated format. I needed them by a certain date and he made sure that I had them when we agreed. The product was great. I plan on using him again soon. Also the location was close by.

I had a great experience working with Ray. I work for a television show and a few of our writers had old 8 mm film reels that they wanted to incorporate into the show. The video files that we had made looked excellent. We are planning on using them in the show. Ray even offered to pick up and drop off the film reels from me. I highly recommend them for your video transfer needs.

Ray was great to work with. And his work is perfect. He converted old family slides into a digital format and they look fantastic. He was really helpful. The images look better than I ever thought they could. He’s offered to walk me through a program that he uses to turn the images into a slide show that I can add music to. He’s great. His work is great. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.

I would recommend Ray and his team to anyone needing ANY kind of digital work. He is so reliable, fast and efficient. Not only that, they are a pleasure to work with!!! Great job, guys!

Ray is wonderful! He is very knowledgeable, really kind, and very easy to work with. I would 100% recommend Digital Video to all of my friends and family. Truly great service!

Thanks ray for the video transferring my baby brothers video to dvd and allowing me to backup my other videos. thank you so much. professional and easy to work with

Wow, what a great experience. Ray is not only knowledgeable and helpful but he is also a good guy who is fair and will work with you to make sure you are happy, make sure you get the best price. I called him first thing this morning (I found him from a Google search) and I was unsure what it was exactly I needed, he talked me through it and I felt immediately comfortable about going to him and not calling around to other places.
His staff are nice and helpful also, though I really felt like he was the expert in making sure everything was just perfect about my experience. I am very grateful for your help Ray! And I definitely plan to return with the rest of my many VHS tapes that I need to transfer to DVD and digital files.
You should go here. Good people!

As other happy people have written, I was completely satisfied as well. Took in VHS and Hi-8’s and no problem putting them on DVD’s that were beautifully labeled and were finished quickly. I trust Ray, will use him again and will tell my friends as well. Now we need this place in the South Bay!!!

2013 was a very difficult year for me, but Ray helped make it a little better with some quick, professional and compassionate service.
Basically, after my uncle passed in November, I assumed the task of cutting together a memorial vid for his services. My uncle meant the world to me and it was a tall order to try and distill him down to a series of still and moving images. Accordingly, I had to get a rush transfer of 8 mm and 16 mm reels done in time for the emotional day. Ray and his team made this happen for me, and they did so with great care and integrity.
In fact, Ray went out of his way to collect the reels, update me on his progress and hand deliver the files to me. And most importantly, the footage looked stellar. Thank you for going above and beyond on all of your work and assistance. You guys made a very difficult experience a little bit easier.
If possible, I’d give a 6 star rating.
Thanks again,
Maceo

I found this company thru Unilocal and I can see why everyone has given Ray great reviews. Plain and simple, Ray is awesome and I would most certainly work with him again.
I had a few 8 mm film reels that I wanted transferred over to DVD and from the start, Ray was very professional. I had the chance to speak with him over the phone and he asked the right questions in making sure I was getting what I needed for my project. He followed-​up via email and through the phone with estimates and the progress of the project. Whenever I had any questions, he was very good at responding and providing me with the needed and helpful answers.
The finished product was great and my siblings and I really enjoyed seeing those 8 mm films. It’s definitely a cherished item now and to have it in digital form is great. Price was very reasonable and payment process was extremely easy. I would highly recommend Ray for your transferring services. Professional, prompt and fantastic end product.
Thank you Ray!

Ray was extremely helpful and professional throughout our video transferring process. He was well organized and efficient and made sure to find the best solution for digitizing our complicated project. Ray was also very easy to get ahold of and promptly responded to any and all of our questions.
We cannot thank Ray enough for all of his help and definitely intend on returning to Digital Video & Film Lab for any of our future digitization needs.

Ray goes above and beyond to take care of his clients!!!
I am an event planner and work with many directors, editors etc and had not had to look for someone until it was my daughter’s montage for her Bat Mitzvah. I researched on line and talked to Ray and gave him my tape library to transfer first. I then compiled what I wanted on the montage including video clips, print photos to scan and digital images. I didn’t realize that I had messed up when burning the digital images until the night before my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah! I emailed late that night and he responded early Saturday morning and we spent the day in and out of my service with my daughter, sending what to include and what to eliminate. Ray worked on a Saturday which he never does and drove the DVD to Hollywood from the valley to the venue where we were having the party by 6:30! It was truly an act of dedication to what he does and his desire to have happy clients!
The video was beautiful and a hit and my daughter and I and our whole family could not be happier!
Thank you Ray — Digital Video Lab!

As Jim G. and I are coming up on our 12 year anniversary (where has the time gone!!!) we figured it was time to take our wedding video and the negatives of our photos and get them converted to a digital format. It’s a scary prospect to share your only copy of such an important video with someone you don’t know. Jim found Digital Video Lab and I’m so glad!
Ray was so easy to work with; his schedule was very flexible and he even came to our home to pick up and drop off all our stuff. He was kind, prompt, and reasonably priced. Best of all, of course, is the quality of the conversions!
It can be eye-​opening to watch a video of yourself from 12 years ago; there were some cringes here and there, for sure. Ray did a great job, however. I would use him again for anything I need digitized. Think of him for some of the more old-​fashioned family members who may have a treasure trove of photos, videos, etc.
