I had some VHS tapes to copy to DVD and I couldn't do it at home. I took them to DR and they fixed all but one! They were so nice and accommodating - really nice young people trying to do a good job. I highly recommend them. read more

We have about 300 60-min DV minicassette video records. They cover about 2 decades of work by our organization's founder who recently passed away. These legacy records are precious and needed to be securely transferred into digital format for preservation on hard drives and in the cloud. The transfer from DV, an old technology, to digital, such as AVI or MP4 files, can only be done at real-time speeds; i.e., a one-hour DV video requires one hour to transfer, using specialized hardware. So we had 300hrs of work! We wanted AVI to preserve maximum video quality and MP4 for long-term cloud storage economy. And we needed a practical price to make the project financially possible for us. Based on bids from several services and their reviews, we chose Digital Roots Studios (DRS). Now completed, we want to tell all interested parties that DRS did an exceptionally professional job and were really great to work with. We very highly recommend them. They respectfully used our valued materials to produce the quality results we wanted. read more

I dropped off an 8mm reel. Sean and Andrea turned the film into mp4 format which they delivered to me via dropbox. Now I can view the film in Dropbox or download it to my phone or computer or watch it on TV. From Dropbox I loaded the video into youtube. Terrific service! Very reasonable price! read more

brought in a cassette to be transferred to a CD and the work was completed three days early! staff was welcoming and helpful, the price was incredible and the finished product exceeded my expectations - awesome read more

I could not give Digital Roots Studio a higher recommendation! The work was done quickly,professionally, and they kept me informed of the progress. They were a delight to work with! The only downside was that they are hard to find. I would suggest a bigger sign on the building's door. When I have another project, I will be back! read more

I must say Digital Roots has the best graphic transferring skills and the best customer service!!! I needed some really old family photos transferred to send copies to our entire family and they did a fantastic job!!! Both Sean and Andrea were super helpful and it was quick turnaround. I will be back next time and will certainly recommend to family and friends!!! read more

After my mother passed, we selected two precious photographs that we wanted to enhance and post to her obituary. The results were simply amazing. They look so beautiful and helped us to honor our mother's memory. Beyond their creativity and skill, Andrea and Sean are truly warm and caring people. Thanks and best of luck to both of you! read more

Excellent and prompt service!! They converted an old cassette tape of family stories from the 1970's into a digital file. Shared it with my cousins!! read more

I had a very small project that needed done and Digital Roots Studio not only did a timely job but treated me like I was a large customer. ,I am glad I discorvered this great company and look forward to using them again. read more

I had a 48 year old 16mm film of a football game that I needed converted to digital format. I am extremely happy and satisfied with the result. The lady at Digital Roots was friendly, knowledgeble and helpful. I received dvd's and files on a usb drive. Their rates were very reasonable. I highly recommend this business. read more

Cool people, great work. I had old 8mm footage that's more than 50 years old and it came out great. I've already recommended a friend today.

I received excellent service at Digital Roots and cannot recommend them highly enough. Andrea's profound warmth and empathy made an emotionally difficult project (transferring video of my deceased brother from VHS to DVD and external hard drive) much more pleasant than I expected. We are very happy with the finished product and grateful to have our most valuable childhood videos preserved. The cost was less than we anticipated AND the project was finished much earlier than predicted. I'm glad I received notice that Digital Roots Studio is moving to a new location down the street (near Piedmont Theater) because it reminded me I had forgotten to write the glowing review they greatly deserve. Do not wait until your family videos on VHS tapes have gotten so dusty and warped that they can't be preserved. Bring them to Digital Roots and have them carefully transferred to your hard drive so you can view them on your computer and share them with family! read more

Go Digital Roots! They digitized some special 8-track film (my parents' wedding from 1959) and were very straightforward about the process and timeframe, and then beat their timeframe by several days. They answered all my questions and explained all the options. The quality was perfect. read more

I recently found some slides my father had in an old dresser. They were great photos but really hard to see in slide form. Sean and his staff at Digital Roots helped me to bring beautiful memories back to life! His customer service was friendly and incredibly helpful. Best of all, the slides were digitized and emailed to me really quickly! I recommend Digital Roots highly! read more

Digital Roots review Finding Digital Roots on YELP was truly my "Christmas Miracle" this year. Like many of us I have been wanting to digitize our family's precious home movies to preserve and share with my children. Finally after years of procrastination I was inspired by some interesting YELP reviews to reach out to Sean and Andrea for their expert help. I cannot overstate their technical skill and professional, supportive customer service. ( Since I am in a wheelchair, they picked up & delivered at my home - a greatly appreciated kindness.) Their work on my project was excellent . And I had an extensive mix of 8mm, Super 8 & VHS & even some over 30-year old Brownie camera film. It's a great start to my ongoing project. It was the absolute BEST part of our family's holiday. Look forward to their aid in preserving old family photos too. Also one of the best things about Digital Roots is that they live & work in our community - I didn't have to mail my irreplaceable treasures to some distant digital "factory". Sean & Andrea really understand & care about the importance of these family memories. read more

I was planning to surprise my "baby" boy for his 50th birthday with a DVD of all the childhood - plus photos. It took a long while to sort out 4 decades of photos in 5 huge boxes but had a gift box from Scan Cafe so off went 200 photos to be scanned. After 8 weeks and it getting very close to the birthday I called - after all it was shipped to southern California. Well it turns out they went to India and it took an additional fee and Fed-Ex to get them back 4 days before I flew to Seattle for the Birthday celebration. That's where Digital Roots came in and rescued me. In less than 3 days they took the digitally scanned photos, added music, titles and made a wonderful slide show. My son, tho somewhat embarrassed by pictures of him sucking his thumb, was thrilled with the DVD, the grand kids thought it funny, my daughter-in-law thought it charming and everyone loved it. How Sean and Andrea managed to do that in the short time I gave them is beyond me but it made the birthday celebration a very special one. I cannot say enough about Digital Roots Studio. They are the best! read more

Great professional service! Highly recommend and will definitely return if I need the any audio and video transfer!

VERY SATISFIED. The job was completed in half the time, half the cost of other places, and the technology used was excellent. I will use Digital Roots again to digitize more family movies from the 1960's. Caveat: when watching your old movies on the computer, you'll miss the click-click of the old projector, and the smell of the bulb. Digital Roots might be able to add that in in the future!! Pass the popcorn! read more

Digital Roots helped me transfer old video "tapes" in mini-DV format into .MOV files that I could watch on my computer. They were fast and did it perfectly. They also were available via email afterwards to help me with a technical question that I had about how to transfer files. Excellent service. read more

They did a fantastic job. I had my wedding videotape from 20 years ago and some mini tapes from an old camcorder transferred to DVDs. I checked out various places on the Internet - wanting someone reliable because these are precious memories that you do t want lost or destroyed. To was not disappointed. Reasonably priced and professionally done within a week. I give them five stars and recommend them to all. read more

We needed help making a soccer highlight dvd for our daughter to send to colleges. Andrea and Sean are amazing. We couldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend them, they really know what they are doing! read more

I had a couple of different projects to take care of and DRS could not have been more helpful. A couple of VHS tapes needed to be transferred to DVD and I didn't want to go through the hassle of searching for the proper hardware to buy which would have been way more expensive than necessary considering that I only needed this done with two old instructional videos. I ended up asking a slew of questions before we even got started and Andrea was more than happy to walk me through every step of the process and explain all the costs and scheduling involved. She even informed me that I could make my own copies of the new DVDs in order to save a few bucks (though they do offer duplicate copies provided there is no copyright infringement involved). I was so pleased with this first experience that I dug up a favorite old homemade VHS of mine to have transferred to digital file in order to edit and upload clips to YouTube. Andrea is very nice and very professional, she handles pick up and drop-off at a local UPS Store and everyone there seems to love her and her business. If you've got old memories to digitize or need more modern access to older media in your collection, I highly recommend working with these folks. You won't be disappointed. read more

I recently took about 50 small 8mm films, and 8 medium rolls of 8mm film from the 1960s and 70s to Digital Roots to be transferred to DVD. It was about 5 hours of film. I had no idea what was on the film and was not sure if any of it was salvageable. Well, I came home and watched the DVDs and laughed and cried and just remembered my childhood good times. I am going on a family reunion with my two brothers and their families and my sister and her family, and my parents. They have no idea I did this. I can't wait to show them the DVDs and surprise them. These were lost for 30 years and just recovered. Thank you to Andrea and her husband for the wonderful job you did. I am so grateful for the care you put into making our memories come to life. read more

Fantastic operation. I had a large job, 70+ hours of video tapes going back 20+ years. They managed to recover them all, even some that I could not read on my home device. Everything was carefully labeled and attention to detail was scrupulous. Would use their services again in a second. Reasonably priced too. read more

A fine job! Film, mini video and reel to reel tapes - some more than half a century old - all transferred to a hard drive. So grand to see and hear these imagines and voices again! Had this done just before we moved, (moving finally got me to do it), and DRS kindly kept a safety archive copy until we settled and were assured the hard drive survived the trip. Many thanks! read more

I had a bit of a work emergency and needed an old VHS video converted to DVD and Sean was very flexible and helpful. He responded to my calls and emails immediately, and turned the project around in 24 hours. I would recommend them without reservation. read more

Yes these folks are the best! Super quick delivery, high quality products, great communication. As they are home-based they are super flexible and will often work in the evenings to get your work ready to pick up by the next day. Very sweet people too. read more

Just got some old 8mm film transferred to DVD through these guys, really happy with the results. Image is sharp, DVDs are well labelled and organized...top quality work, good pricing, great communication and quick turnaround. read more

Digital Roots did great work and they were easy to communicate with. Prompt response, very friendly, highly recommended.

I had a VHS tape transferred over to a dvd. They did a quality job at a reasonable price. They had good communication with me and let me know what the prices were upfront, then got the job done ahead of schedule. No question I would use them again. read more

Had a wonderful experience with my recent order to convert 8mm film canisters into DVDs for my mom. Digital Roots was helpful, efficient, personable, and affordable. I'd definitely work with them again on my next digital conversion need! read more
