“Family Media Transfer is incredible! They helped my family convert 20 year old family tapes for a Christmas present, and they not only had excellent turnaround time, but gave us childhood memories to watch with clear visual and audio. Thanks to them we have these memories to look back on for a lifetime!”

“I feel so lucky to have found this company! I wish we had more media to send because it was such a positive experience — something that seems so rare in business anymore. We were in communication with John throughout the process and start to finish I was so happy to come across Family Media Transfer. John even offered to pick up the film if in the Minneapolis area. The shipping process went smoothly, and John kept my mom updated upon receipt and processing. Within a few days he processed more than thirty reels, provided a link to the videos, and shipped the originals back. We are so thankful to find Family Media Transfer!”

“We brought in a mix of old VHS and MiniDV tapes, including one that we thought might be damaged. They were able to repair it and get the footage transferred, which was a huge relief. Everything else turned out better than we expected, the process was straightforward, and it felt good knowing our original tapes were handled carefully.”

“Can't say enough about how great my experience was with Family Transfer Media. They transferred 3 Super 8mm films from the 1970s and did a super job. Received the link with the videos within 3 days and it was super easy to download and share with family.”

“I recommend A440 Studios for film and video digital transfers. I had a mix of old media that I wanted to convert, and my previous experience with A440 doing a promotional video for a nonprofit organization gave me confidence they'd do well with the media conversions. And so they did! Thanks John and Nick, keep em flyin'!”
