YesVideo vs. original
J S.

I found some old 8mm films that were recorded by my parents in the mid 50s. I went through the Costco website which landed me on the YesVideo website. After receiving the transfer from YesVideo on DVD and flash drive, I noticed that the video was playing at almost double speed. After a bit of research, I discovered that 8mm film was originally recorded at 16 fps (frames per second). YesVideo transfers at 30 fps. I contacted the company 4 times and got nowhere. They either had a language issue or were clueless about the transfer process. I also noticed that the colors were so washed out that the video almost appeared to be black and white (see photo). In addition, the film was heavily cropped from the original size. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere if your films have any sentimental value.

Horrible! I sent in my order of 3 VHS Tapes through Walmart on April 10, 2024 to be digitalized onto USBs, and then Walmart shipped it out to YesVideo to have it done. As of May 14, 2024 YesVideo claims they never got it. This order was supposed to be completed and ready for pickup at my local Walmart on May 2, 2024 according to my receipts. TOTAL SCAM & UNRELIABLE. YesVideo needs to fix this ASAP.

Costco sub-contracts it's video transfer service to a company called Yes Video in Georgia. I HIGHLY recommend you Google "Yes Video" and check out the reviews online. For a quick summary I'd say they did an OK job. But, it could have been much better and I would not recommend them. The images are viewable and I was able to extract the video files from the DVDs they sent. Here is the upside: 01) You can take your film into your local Costco and have it sent and returned that way. Or, online via Costco's photo site where you mail in your film reels and it is mailed back to your home which is what I did. 02) They were fairly quick. Only a couple of weeks in early January. 03) You can pay using a credit card and not be charged extra. Here is the downside: 01) The only option for the output of the transfer project is DVDs. I have software that allows me to extract DVD video files which I can then edit but it would have been much easier if I could have received MPG, MP2 or MP4 files for each 3-inch 50 foot reel. DVDs are on their way out in this new age of streaming so they should provide the output in a format that can be easily uploaded to personal cloud space. Do NOT depend on them storing your video files. 02) In my case all 39 reels were spliced onto larger 7-inch plastic reels (5 of them), all my small boxes now contain empty reels. This means that if there is any writing on the boxes you can no longer link that writing to any particular film segment. Luckily, I still have a projector so I was able to number my reels then make a spreadsheet describing what is shown on each reel before I mailed them. 03) The DVDs themselves are not organized like you would think. I had 39 small 3-inch 50 foot reels so you would think that I would have 39 scenes on the DVDs. Nope. There are MANY more scenes on the DVDs than their are reels. At least they are in the same order that I submitted them. When you place your order online they email you a file with bar codes for each reel and sequence numbers. You cut out these labels and tape them to your reels or boxes. That establishes the sequence. The DVDs also contain "Music Videos" that are composed of many 2 second random clips, usually with people in them. The music that goes with these seems to be random as well from classical to rock. My suggesting to Yes Video is to just use classical or none at all. 04) There is some kind of light leak in their machine that does the transfers. It's on the left side and more pronounced on the lower left and when the image is dark. You can see it in my snapshots attached to this review if photos are allowed (the video files are much more sharp than shown in these photos). These light leaks are on every frame of every reel. I still have a projector so I know this is not on the original film.

They don't screen they're employees. They had undocumented person working there and ruined my mom's life and my dads. They are unsafe to handle important memories of individuals. You whole life can be taking from you without you ever knowing​

I had some old 8 mm film from my parents that was probably from the 50s. I had their wedding converted by a professional local guy years ago and he did a great job and set it to music. I thought I would save a little bit of money because I didn't know what was actually on these tapes. The quality is awful, it's so washed out you can barely see it. So much for their better color claim. They charged me extra money for what they say was extra film and all I paid for was a blank screen with black lines across it. You'd think they would check that and splice it out. I paid a lot of money for 16 minutes of nothing. It's also so fast that I can't even watch it. I would never buy again with this company, wish I could get a refund .Huge disappointment on memories of my parents. Get a pro to do it like I did the first time . Btw, I paid only slightly more for the pro to do it! Upon receipt of the tapes, I found that they took everything off of the original boxes and reels and sent me back empty ones and put it all on a hideous, looking big plastic reel that I have nowhere to store. What a complete and utter disappointment and waste! UPDATE: they act like they want to help you by replying but then they ghost you. I was also told I'd get a prepaid label to send it back & receive a refund, never received it. Liars, AWFUL customer service. Stay away from this company!!!!

This is how they returned my video. With the tape all out of place ! They could have at least fixed this. AT LEAST

Extremely disappointed with this company. I sent in the one and ONLY VHS tape of my mother in laws wedding through Costco. The video tape was in good condition when I had left it to get sent out, only to receive it back two weeks later damaged. This is very unacceptable especially because this company won't do anything about the fact that it got damaged on their end. Very disappointing because this was something very special to me and I trusted this company to do a good job. I hope this never happens to anyone else.

We had booked Tri for a holiday photoshoot last year and we couldn't be happier. He was super…read morefriendly and professional to work with. We had the best experience and we simply loved how the pictures turned out. I would definitely recommend.

Can't believe it's been two months since our special wedding day, but with Tri Luu Films, my wife…read moreand I are able to relive the lovely memories from that day forever. Many months before the wedding, I searched for videographers and wedding video packages that suited our taste, where we wanted candid, yet dreamy/fairytale shots of our day, along with videos of our ceremonies (tea ceremony & Western ceremony), all while being within a certain budget. After sending in quotes and meeting with some videographers, it was a challenge to find the one that really matched what we needed. Luckily, I got in touch with Tri Luu Films through one of the wedding sites that recommended him, and saw some of his work on Vimeo, including a wedding short that was at the venue we were getting married at. Tri was such a pleasure to work with from the get-go. He met with us to talk about our ideal style and "must captures," and knowing that he was familiar with our venue in San Jose as well as having experience with capturing tea ceremonies is really what sold us. They were even onboard when I mentioned that I would be surprising the bride with a musical performance during the reception, and were able to capture that. On the day of, Tri Luu and his team were fantastic - incredibly professional, kind, and understanding of timeline shifts. Something I really appreciated was that they know when it's appropriate to step-in and give advice on good video shots versus when to be more in the background and let the photographers do their thing. Our wedding video package included a trailer, wedding short, and a documentary. The trailer was great and made me hyped to see the rest of the filming, and it also got to us less than three weeks from the wedding! The wedding short film I liked because it included some short lines from vows, speeches, dances, and ceremonies and various snippets from the wedding. The documentary, though, was definitely what I was waiting for - over an hour of great footage, edited chronologically for us to relive the best day of my life. I could tell it was done with great care because everything flowed well, there were transitions showing off the venue where the next part of the wedding was at, and the background music was perfect. Couldn't be more impressed with Tri Luu Films, and I wholeheartedly recommend Tri to anyone needing a wedding videographer!

I'm very happy with this company and their work…read more I regularly book them for video shoots for my beauty salon, and every time the experience is great. The quality is always amazing, and they deliver the final materials really fast, which I truly appreciate. Everything is smooth, professional, and just easy to work with. I always feel confident with the result. Highly recommend, I'm really happy I found them

I hired Marina's team to film a One Person Play called The Father Daughter Dance in San Francisco…read more It was a two camera shot and the results are tremendous. The quality of the video I received was first class. The way the team integrated both cameras in the shot came through was perfect. Marina was superb to work with. She was diligent about scoping out and creating a contract from my needs. She was responsive and flexible when we discussed what her work would be that night. I loved how her cameras were small and high quality not taking up a lot of seats in the theater was really valuable as I could sell more seats. Her work post production was remarkable. She was professional as we iterated on that the ultimate video looked and sounded like. I'm SO happy I hired her to do that post production work, no way I could have done that myself. Finally, she created a great trailer clip that I can now send to any potential venues that I want to book my show at. I strongly recommend Marina's team to work with you on shooting a theatrical performance like mine or any other video needs.
