This is what other clients have said about our video conversion services:-

In terms of efficiency, flexibility and friendliness, 1Scan couldn't score more highly. My transfers from Hi8 to DVD were flawless and the service impeccable. I'm busy recommending this company to all my friends and I wouldn't hesitate to use it again. It's a painless and affordable way of bringing any of your outdated formats into the twenty first century.

Thanks for transferring the two Video8 tapes to DVD. We were very pleased with the results and the opportunity to archive the material. I enclose a further five Video8 and Hi 8 tapes to be transferred to DVD.

I received the Hi8 tapes and DVDs today I have just watched them they brought back such lovely memories THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THEM FOR ME I AM SO GRATEFUL.

Many thanks for your service it was excellent. The colours on the DVDs are brighter than they were on our Hi8 tapes. Will gladly recommend you.

Thanks Jeff received them yesterday and are excellent thanks and my sister will be so very, very pleased.

Thanks again for your 1st class plus service.

Thank you for your speedy service.

Just heard from Aunt … in Canada, she loved the tapes. I’d forgotten that they had our mum on as well, she’s sending her Hi8 tapes over and I’ll get you to convert those. Then we’ll all have a full family video archive.

As I said in my email I was hesitant about getting those old Hi8 tapes converted. Glad I did, I made copies for the kids and have posted them today. I know they’ll love them.

Thanks for converting the Hi8 tapes. I took my computer and the DVDs over to Mum on Sunday, they really cheered her up. Thanks.

Converting those old Hi8 tapes was cheaper than getting a quote to repair the camera and watching DVDs is much easier. (My wife) and I have enjoyed these wet afternoons watching our old holidays.

Showed the videos to the grandchildren on Saturday, all amazed at how much they look like their parents at the same age. I thought twice about getting (the Hi8 tapes) converted, very glad I did.

Thanks for converting that Hi8 tape so quickly. I gave a copy to Mum and Dad, they loved it, a great anniversary present.

Thanks, colours on TV are great, hard to believe the old tapes were nearly 20 years old.
