If you have a massive box of old family tapes collecting dust, stop looking and just take them to Chad at Kountryjoe Video Digitizing. I had a huge project of over 100 camcorder tapes that I needed converted to digital, and I shopped around at several places for quotes. Chad completely blew every other local lab and mail-in service out of the water on price. Not only was he by far the most affordable, but his turnaround time was unbelievably fast. I expected a massive project like this to take weeks, but he knocked it out way faster than anyone else even quoted. He even kept me updated on his progress with pictures and short videos! Most importantly, the final video quality is amazing. Don't risk putting irreplaceable memories in the mail--just go to Kountryjoe. Highly recommended! read more

Good work, fast turn around, communicative. Make sure you bring a big enough flash drive. At a home not a store.

Outstanding Service! Saved Our Family Memories. I really recommend the service! Great price.

Chad was fantastic to work with. He responded quickly, offered very reasonable prices, and had an amazing setup that really improved the video and audio quality of my tapes. He digitized 15 VHS tapes by the next day and kept me updated throughout the process. He even checked in when he found two tapes were just recorded TV shows and didn't charge if I didn't want them converted. Fast, honest, and great results -- highly recommend! read more

Amazing quality and service. I found an old VHS of my dads wedding, and he was able to digitize and preserve it with extraordinary quality and within a couple of hours of me dropping it off. read more

I had 70+ VHS tapes and Hi-8 cassettes I needed digitized. At first, I looked up Costco, Legacybox, and a few other big names. However, after checking reviews and other people's experiences online, I decided not to go down that route. I don't trust myself to buy the tools needed and do it myself (and then get rid of the tools), so I started looking at local businesses, and this was one of the first on the Yelp list. I gave them a call, and Chad picked up. We talked for a bit, and i had the videos sent to him within a day. He keeps you updated on the progress and asks you any questions he might have. My family had duplicates of the Hi-8s on VHSs, so he informed me that he'll keep the hi-8 versions, as they're better quality. I had a lot of videos, which needed a bigger hard drive than a USB stick, which i was able to provide. The entire process took less than a week (reminder that shipping and processing times will vary with everyone). Chad is very knowledgeable and friendly, and the overall experience was efficient and done with great quality. I would send everyone his way in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for the chance to revisit these old memories, and for your great services read more

For the better part of a year, I drove myself completely crazy looking for a way to digitize a SECAM tape that was the only known footage of my grandmother. I was finally coming to terms with the fact that buying one of these $700 machines on eBay may be my only option when I found Chad on OfferUp. I couldn't believe it. Two days later, what had been a multi-year-long struggle was over, and the footage was beautiful! What a gift. Truly. read more

Highly recommend!! I've used his services two or three times now and each time he was quick, communicative, and even sent me a video clip of the footage. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Couldn't be more happier to have found a place that was able to transfer all my memories from over 20 years ago into a usb. After searching for years and years and always scared of using a 3rd party because I was afraid of my tapes being lost, Chad came to the rescue. The tears I have shed of seeing family that is no longer with us has made it all worth it. Thank You so much for saving these precious memories. 1. Awesome Customer Service 2. Fast and reliable 3. Great Communication 4. Very professional Will I use his service again if I find more tapes???DEFINITELY!!! Without a doubt. Thank You so much for everything. read more

Kountryjoe Video Digitizing - 18 tapes into this usb. How awesome is that - Video/Film Production Near Me - Orange, California

Chad was amazing. I attempted to do the Hi8 tape transfer myself but was running into issues. I contacted Chad based on all the great reviews and so grateful I did. The quality of the tapes was so much better than what I was getting and he took what would have taken me a week plus to do and turned it around in 24 hours. I highly recommend his services and way better than any of the big companies out there based on those reviews. Plus you're supporting a local business. Just call him. read more

I found KOUNTRYJOE VIDEO PRODUCTIONS after being frustrated with COSTCO. Yelp has several companies like this to scroll through. Chad the owner had the best reviews. After careful researching and reviews, he was the number 1 choice. I contacted Chad and others, although Chad was my pick, I wanted to do my due diligence. He responded the fastest of all the companies I contacted. He was very friendly and available for my Christmas giving. The next day I dropped off 100 or so tapes, DVD's, cassettes to be converted to a thumb drive. He told me he would have to me by Sunday- 4-5 days. During the process, he sent me pics of a few of my videos of sentimental value. He clarified names of videos and even asked if I wanted to edit out unimportant details of some of my videos I'm so glad Chad is who I went with. He had all my videos completed, and organized onto a thumb drive with in 48 hours. Over the moon with Chad and his company. Great work and customer service. He also walked me through the steps to play videos etc. in this time of our lives ( COVID) it was a pleasure to see humans be so kind and compassionate especially with my precious family movies and memories. I would recommend him with 100% confidence. Incredible memory maker and editor. Thank you CHAD! read more

Solid quality, fast turnaround, great communication, even better price. Can't ask for anything more. read more

I am so happy that I found country Joe video! He literally turned my tapes around in less than 24 hours and gave me some samples in a text message he's amazing I would recommend him to anyone who would like to have their VHS or any type of other tapes digitized read more

Fast replies and great pricing!! It's important to digitize especially when you only have one dvd that the kids will surely break. read more

I recently acquired about 30 old Betacam tapes from a friend and I wanted them converted digitally. I was searching around for local businesses that would do this service and Kountryjoe was the best option. Fast communication and the price quotes are reasonable. Very dedicated and knowledgeable on film/video technology as the quality of the video is crystal clear. Tape conversion was very quick too. If you have Betacam tapes, definitely go to Kountryjoe. Highly recommended video conversion service! read more

Our family has wanted to go digital for years but it's been a daunting task. Chad changed that! We recently converted boxes of betas, and the picture is so much clearer. He definitely kept us in the loop by sending over clips to compare different footage, and the turn around time was much faster than we expected. I just dropped off another box of tapes and he's already been in contact showing me the process. While all these aspects have been wonderful, what I'm most impressed with is Chad's willingness to explain things to us. He breaks it down so it's simple and has been very honest. He even took the time to explain some of the digitizing process/equipment we could do at home for more basic things. Five stars! read more

Unbeatable pricing with great communication and fast turnaround! One stop shop for video digitizing needs. His work made the perfect birthday present for my dad who hadn't seen any of these old videos in decades. read more

I highly recommend this company. Quick turnaround and can't beat the price! I will return when I gather the rest of my data to transfer!

I would highly recommend Kountryjoe! He responded through Yelp very quickly. Very reasonably priced, it was only $20 to convert a VHS to thumb drive. I requested a quote on the weekend, dropped the tape off first thing Monday morning and he had it ready for me to pick up the same day after I got off work. Highly recommended! read more

Had some old 8mm film from the 1950s that I wanted digitized. Very high quality product, extremely responsive, quick turnaround, and unbeatable value. Couldn't ask for more. read more

I was in town and my dad asked me to help him find a place to fix his camcorder. Instead I suggested a digital transfer for his 8mm cassettes. I talked to Chad. His prices were great and his turn around time was excellent. This was especially important to me as I was only in town for a few days to get this done. I was able to pick up the transfer the next day. My family really bonded over these old home movies. It was perfect. I recommend. read more

Very responsive, affordable and quick! He also took time to go through our old VHS tapes, many of which turned out to be old TV show recordings. I love that my husband and I now have our old childhood videos on a thumbdrive/our computer rather than taking up a box. Highly recommend! read more

With his very responsive service and reasonable pricing, I highly, highly recommend turning to Chad if you need old film/video digitized!

Had a quick and pleasant experience! I highly recommend taking your old video tapes here.

Chad is awesome, highly recommend him for your digitizing needs - from CDs, DVDs & mini-DVs to audio cassettes, he digitized to a single thumb drive for storing in the cloud. In summary, you can expect quality work, efficient, friendly & very reasonably priced working with Chad! read more

Read through other Yelp reviews and took a chance. Chad was quick to respond and provided a quick turnaround! He transferred over 20+ VHS-C videos for ya and placed on a thumb drive. Now we get to see 20+years worth of family memories. Highly recommend and is also very reasonably priced compared to large companies! read more

For years I had mix of old mini VHS and regular VHS tapes lying around collecting dust. I figured why not get them digitized so that that I can relive the memories and have something to show my kids. I was hesitant at first to contact Kountry Joe Productions since they are a relatively new business but after speaking with the owner, Chad, and him taking the time to explain his background in video production as well as a stint as the video guy for a local MLB team I was sold. The process was very easy. I shipped off my old tapes to Chad and within one business day he had digitized them. He then gave me a few options to view them: 1. Upload them to the internet and send me a link to view or download 2. Put them on a USB drive and mail it back to me I chose the first option since I am impatient and could not wait to see the tapes. I was not disappointed!! The videos were clear and the memories started rushing back as relived some of the most important moments of my life. I could not wait to share the videos with family and friends via the links that Chad provided. Chad was even able to salvage some of the tapes that were warped and damaged due to sitting for so long. I thought that they were a lost cause and was going to throw them away but I'm glad that I didn't. All in all i am very satisfied with the services that Kountry Joe Productions provided and will using them in the future. PROs: * Fast turn around and convenient * Good value * Great customer service * Customization CONs: * Did not make me look like Brad Pitt as requested. Great job Chad and Kountry Joe Productions you guys rock!!!!!!!! read more

My mom received a VHS video recorder for Christmas in 1985. Over the next 10 years she filmed my sports, family events, and many of my fondest childhood memories. The tapes then went into storage for 25 plus years until My parents recently gave them to me as they were retiring and moving out of town. Last week I found Chad at Kountryjoe Productions, and as I write this I have spent the entire weekend on my iMac watching over 60 hours of footage. Chad you went the extra mile in getting my tapes digitized, saving bad tapes when others wouldn't have, and I am forever grateful. Thank you and 5 stars all the way!!!!! read more

I needed some DV tapes converted to digital and they came through with a speedy delivery. They do awesome and reliable work would definitely recommend them read more

Chad converted 8 Mini DV tapes and 1 VHS tape to MP4. He finished the job in 1 day. The picture and sound quality was excellent. His price was 50% less than what others charge. MP4 video is the way to go. MP4 videos will play on computers and smart TVs. read more

Chad's service is professional, reasonably priced and has a very fast turn around. Recently I brought 120 VHS and DVDs to digitize. Chad actually completed the transfers in 48 hours. He is personable and was willing to explain how to upload and send. He also labels every transfer and explained how I can rename if needed. The quality is excellent! I plan on returning with another 100+ recordings in different formats including 8mm, Beta, VHS-c and VHS. In today's business service environment, it is refreshing to find a business that delivers high quality service. Highly recommend Chad! read more

Chad was AWESOME!! I cannot recommend him more. He quickly got back to me with a quote and was very flexible with drop off/pickup timing. He converted 22 old tapes (some of which were stuck in the camcorder and covered with grime and dust). He was SO quick and clearly an expert. I will go back to him for all other digitizing needs and I will definitely recommend him to all of my friends and family. Thank you Chad!!! read more

The guy is good and knows what he is doing. He responds so fast, does what you need, his prices are great, and throws in suggestions. I have used him several times to preserve my family memories and that is so important to all of us. Throw in that he is local to some of us who live in Orange... easy to get to and you feel like you are working with a friend. Larry H. read more

Chad was absolutely amazing! He was so easy to work with, very flexible and fairly priced. He is also a very honest businessman -- I highly recommend his services! He converted our old VHS home videos into mp4 files for my parents' wedding anniversary and it was such a hit to show the videos at their party. His work was high quality and it was so easy to use the flash drive he provided. I highly recommend. read more

Great Price, Excellent Product, Fantastic Service. Gave Chad 36 tapes of various types and he quickly converted them to MP4 and even separated the 4 tapes that were blank (and of course did not charge me for the blanks). I had been procrastinating on getting them converted - don't be me, stop delaying. Had the family watch the old videos and we had a blast! I can't remember the last time all 3 of my teenagers sat down and watched a video with their parents without looking at their phones. Not even the Mandalorian could do that. read more
