I am so happy that I chose this company. Phil and his team did an amazing job. He brought memories from a VHS tape back to life that had been sitting in my garage the last 20 years. The quality was impeccable and the customer service was second to none. Phil is a pillar in this community and I can’t wait to do business with him again!

Got Memories was great and did everything very quickly! I had 45 Super 8 with sound 3 inch reels from the late 70’s to 80’s. No way to see them anymore till I got themIt is great to finally see these after that amount of time too. Sound and movie quality is as good to be expected from old filmThank you Phil for all the great work! I highly recommend his work to anyone considering getting this doneRob & Linda Lerman
I had some old VHS tapes I wanted to be made digital. I had a VHS player from eBay...put in 2 test VHS tapes. Both got eaten, This place is very correct about needing maintained VHS players.Before I found out about this place I read reviews in others. Extremely long wait, shoddy quality, no communication. Then saw this place pop up as I wanted to support local business and they are on it with their YouTube page. They know their stuff. I reached out and got a text back with a quote, sent my tapes out as they asked and a week later I had the digital video to download and solid audio and video considering it was 40 year old VHS tapes.Basically if you want to convert, really , spend the little extra here and have it done right, this is probably the only time you will convert so do it right. Worth every penny. Again. Just go with Got Memories, you are literally wasting you time and money with ANY other place.

Got Memories is incredible! I was working on a documentary project that not only was on a very tight deadline, but also handled confidential material that needed to be digitized. Phil was super responsive, amazing communication, and went above & beyond to help us complete the task. And he got it done fast. We were lucky to find him. Fantastic work!
I dropped by last week not realizing they are operating on an appointment basis but Phil was there working away, and graciously assisted me anyway. I had 5...
This company is top notch! From the moment I contacted Phil all the way until I received my digital home video download & usb was amazing! He stayed in touch with me the whole time! He even fixed 2 important videos of my younger brother who passed away a long time ago. I was sure those memories were gone but he surprised me when he let me know he fixed them. It was not easy but he put the time in because it was so important to me! I can never thank him enough! These home videos are very private(my wedding, sons birth etc) so it matters who you trust these videos with! I would only recommend Phil with Got Memories! He is respectful & trustworthy! Also very punctual! I cant thank or recommend him enough!
This is the only company I would recommend to TRUST your home videos to transfer to digital, etc. From the moment I contacted Phil, all the way until I...
I took several reels of 8mm film of our kids when they were infants to be made digital. I explained to Phil how I wanted the films put together. Phil gave me a date when the process would be completed. Process completed on time. I was provided a DVD, a thumb drive, an on line file. Phil is a very informative person which made me feel comfortable in that he knew his business. I highly recommend Got Memories .
About a decade ago, I bought a device to do convert our old videos, but it was such a pain in the a$$ that I dreaded doing it again, and instead just let...
Terrific service! This is the second time we've used them - to save some old treasured tapes and films to digital. First time, they saved films dating back to WWII. Fantastic results both times! Fast and courteous - highly recommended!
Phil is a real pro -- knowledgeable, responsive, and more than capable of handling a wide range of video projects. In my case, he resurrected more than three dozen analog film reels (the "newest" being 40 years old, the oldest were more than 70 !) with quick turnaround and reasonable pricing. Three generations of family memories magically restored to life, how do you put a price on that? Very, very impressive.
I sent Phil 15 home videos and when it was delivered to his office it was ready within 2 days. My family hadn't seen these videos in years. It brought tears...
Excellent service from start to finish. Phil was so kind to fit me in and rush a huge project for me. He really knows his stuff and helped thoroughly clean / digitize several types of very old film and transferred it both online and through a dual purpose usb in an organized fashion so that I could share as needed. His service is great and you wont be disappointed. 5 stars all the way!
Had my VHS transfers done and shipped back same day. They look great and the customer service is very good and the company is very professional!
Phil transferred over a mile of 8mm film my grandfather and great-grandfather shot in the 1950s/1960s, and the digital footage looks great! He took care in...
After a bunch of research on video conversion, I placed my trust in Phil's hands (Got Memories) and I couldn't be happier. He and his team know what they're doing and the service, communication and turnaround are exemplary. Thank you so much Phil !!!
You don't want to go anywhere else for your video transfers! I found Got Memories years ago doing an online search of companies that do video transfers and...
Cliche but...if I could give 100 stars I would! Phil was incredibly communicative; the process was very simple; and the product was amazing! The turn around...
Amazing work. I took in 6 reels of 16mm film to be put on zip drive. The clarity was phenomenal and the price very reasonable. I have 12 more reels to convert and Got Memories will for sure do the rest.
On 2 separate occasions I took in 3 rolls of 16mm film to convert to zip drive. I was blown away with the quality. You could never tell it came from black...
Transferring our old family videos to digital was something our family always wanted to do, but we were hesitant to send them off to places like Costco, etc. so I was excited to find Phil at Got Memories here in Phoenix. Not only has Phil been a huge help in understanding the process across different forms of VHS tapes, but he always turns around the projects quickly and with great quality. Since January, we've done 3 or 4 various sets of tapes for different sides of the family. It's nice to have someone we trust to be able to do these projects for us, and will continue to use Got Memories and recommend them in the future.
I decided to finally convert my old video tapes to a digital format and found Got Memories online. Phil is a super friendly and knowledgeable guy! I was very impressed with how fast he converted 9 of my old video tapes, as well as communication with me throughout the process. The audio/video quality of the finished product is excellent! I received all this footage on a usb that I can just plug into the back of our smart tv, as well as a link to forward on to friends and family. I would absolutely go to Phil moving for any video work, great dude and so easy to get along with!

I had 10, 8 mm reels from 60 years ago! Got Memories was recommended from someone who had dealt with them for years and I was glad I took her advice....
I chose Got Memories over Legacy Box and Costco (Kodak I think) because of the great Google reviews. And while pricey (the only reason I couldn't give 5 stars) they did live up to the reviews. I submitted 42 compact VHS cassettes and in about a week I got back everything on a thumb drive and a link to my videos temporarily stored in the cloud. Reproduction quality was at or above my expectations. They communicate well and even provide a series of videos on YouTube so you know what to expect from the service. If you're thinking about digitizing your memories and can afford a better quality service then you'd be doing yourself a favor by choosing Got Memories.
I recent found my biological family after 50 years(I was adopted at birth and a secret.) My brother was coming for a visit. I remembered I had several super 8 reels of home movies from when I was little. I called Got memories after looking at other places bc they had the best processing and details on how they cared for your treasured items. Upon talking with them they were so encouraging and excited for me. They were happy to get the reels put on DVD. They reassured my hesitancy about shipping and explained the process in detail.They even put a rush on so it would be here in time for my brothers visit.When the movies arrived I was so excited. Everything was numbered, indexed, and clean. The DVD was superb quality and very easy to use.It was such a touching experience for my brother and sister in law and my family. We would have never been able to share in the real life action of me as a child( time he and I missed) without Got Memories help.I can't say enough good abt this company.Thank you Got Memories for going above and beyond for me.
From 1992 till 2005 I recorded every life changing event in my life on Hi8MM tape. Marriage, birth of our two amazing daughters, birthdays, band practice,...
If you have all those home movies lying around and don't know what to do...LOOK NO FURTHER!! Got Memories is not only a phenomenal service, but they...
Excellent job of restoration on our8mm films from the late 1950’s & 1960’s. Even had a few VHS with the sound restored. Absolutely wonderful to hear those voices of family members who have passed.I can’t recommend Got Memories enough. The cost is well worth the results. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I did not expect to need the services of a film-to-digital transfer company, but when I unexpectedly received 1700 feet of 45-year-old film that I knew was important, I began researching my options. I found many choices, many techniques, and many claims. GOT MEMORIES, however, made it simple. With excellent video explanations and an online process that is logical and easy, I soon learned what I needed to know and entrusted the job to them. I was right to do so. The result, promptly processed, is outstanding. There were cheaper options and more costly options -- I sincerely doubt there are better options.
Outstanding service and end product...A+.Highly recommend reading the entire review to understand WHY I elected to trust Phil (Got Memories) with my...
Phil went above and beyond what you would expect in customer service. Price was fair and even dropped off at my home when finished. I was surprised by the quality of the transfer. Quality on a thumb drive so much better then on tape.Thanks for the preserved memories.Emery
Great customer service! Went above and beyond to make sure I got my VHS tapes transferred to a flash drive and digital link before Christmas as they were a gift to my parents. These VHS tapes mean a lot to my family and they were definitely in good hands. Highly recommend.
Amazing service, so fast and so kind! I got several DVDs and VHSs done and got them all on one zip file, so I have access to the files forever and can...

I started with requesting a quote. I received an immediate response from Phil, then he asked if any of the reels had sound and they did not. I had to get...
My family and I often spoke about how we needed to do something with our dozen VSHC taps before we lose or break them. Our VCR doesn't work, so the tapes...
I had about 10 VHS tapes and 30 video tapes converted to digital by Phil. I was amazed at the quality considering many of these tapes for 30+ years old… I had been looking for a place to have this work done and chose Got Memories because of reviews and now I know why they were so good! Phil was responsive - quality is awesome - the turnaround was much faster than expected! I have found clips on some of these that are priceless
If you're interested in this service, I wouldn't trust anyone to the job other than Phil. You won't be handing your precious memories over to just sit in a store room somewhere. Phil who owns Got Memories is very experienced and knowledgeable! I can tell he really enjoys preserving memories through film. He gets the job done flawlessly without setbacks. I would give Got Memories 10/10 stars and then some some!
Thank you SO much for your awesome service, Phil, you went above and beyond to help me, (very non tech)!! I was very nervous to send my vhs tapes away to a...
Got Memories did an excellent job of converting my 8mm tapes to a digital format. Phil provided 5 star service and communication throughout the process. The final product came back with high quality picture and sound, which was a plus since some services like Legacy Box state in their fine print that they do not convert the sound portion of 8mm tapes. I am so glad I trusted my family's tapes to Got Memories, since Phil clearly cares about the work that he does. Highly recommended!
Phil at GOT MEMORIES was a pleasure to work with. He did a fantastic job transferring our old family film reels. He understood how important it was to us. He was easy to communicate with and helped with any adjustments we needed to make. We will definitely go back to Phil for our future transfers and refer friends and family to him. Thank you Phil, for allowing us to view our precious memories in the present day.
Got Memories made the conversion of family videos in three different formats to a digital format absolutely seamless!! We were referred to them by a friend who had received excellent service, and if anything, Phil's work exceeded the already high expectations I had based on her review. He was personable, efficient, knowledgeable, and fast! We have lots more family videos that we need to convert, and Got Memories is where we will take them. I can't sing their praises highly enough!
8mm Movies turned out excellent. Much better than expected. I had links to my videos sent to me within 5 days of shipping films to Got Memories. Good communication, great service! Worth every penny. Thank you.
I came in to have a VHS tape fixed and digitized. Phil let me know he could try and have it finished by the next day, but I was pleasantly surprised with same day repair! It made my family’s day to be able to watch the video from my childhood. We will definitely be back with more treasures!
Five stars feels too low for this service! I’m so glad I stumbled upon Got Memories when I was looking to digitize my old family movies. Phil was responsive & helpful throughout the entire process. I was confident that my family’s memories were being taken care of & now we can continue to enjoy them digitally. I can’t wait to use this service again for further tapes!
Got Memories did a wonderful job transferring my family's old 8mm and Super 8 home movies both silent and with sound. The transfer of the sound films from the late 70’s and early 80’s was very impressive. The films looked great, and the voices were in sync with the film with no variations in pitch. Phil made an initial call and kept me posted throughout the whole process. Thank you again for your superb work and great customer service. I will be using Got Memories again to transfer more of my family’s home movies.

Was very happy with the service at Memories. Was especially happy when Phil made sure we were able to get all the information transferred to our own personal computers and when we had an issue he actually then had me bring my computer to him and transferred the movies over himself. He follows through to make sure his clients are happy
Got Memories did a tremendous job digitizing our 8mm and Super 8mm silent and sound home movies! These 193 reels cover our family's history from 1943 thru 1989 and are priceless.Phil and his team at Got Memories were careful with these ancient artifacts of history and were able to restore them to all their colorful glory so that we can enjoy them well into the 21st century and beyond.Got Memories is one of the only firms, that I know of, that digitizes each roll without splicing them onto larger reels. While this may increase the labor on their part, it preserves each 50 foot roll with their corresponding boxes that contain priceless details regarding dates and people contained therein. This, in turn, makes my job easier indexing these films so that I know who, when and what they entail.I highly recommend Phil and the good folks at Gotmemories.com! Awesome service and a great result indeed.

GotMemories is amazing!!! Phil Thomas and his team converted over 20 family films that had been stored in a basement. It took him less than three weeks to complete. Phil and his team were in constant contact with me during the entire process. The digital conversions are so fun to watch. My husband and his family are going to love these. Thank you for an incredible experience and product.
I had brought my 8 mm sound film to a local place to have digitized, But they could not process an 8 inch film reel. I looked for a place that could do it and found gotmemories. From the moment I got on the phone with them I knew that this was the place for me. Everything from that point forward was completely professional. I could not have been happier with the results. I was kept informed every step of the way with phone calls and was told To check my email. When I did I found a link they gave me an advance copy of what was to come. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs media digitized. I myself will be using them again.
I had 10 or so VHS tapes to get converted. I had used another company before and was sorely disappointed. BUT Got Memories was a pleasant surprise. The prior place took 3 months to do 2 VHS tapes. Got Memories took under a week, including the weekend. Their prices and customer service were wonderful.
Got Memories was wonderful to work with!! I was able to get 8mm films of my parents transferred to digital, along with some audio reels I found! They were reasonably priced and well worth every penny! It was great to receive the digital home movies and so fun to see these old films with such good quality! Having these memories is priceless! From beginning to end of the transfer process, Phil & Sam were in communication with me and kept me updated on the status. I have nothing but positive things to say about it! I highly recommend Got Memories!
I have nothing but great things to say about Got Memories. We converted 18 of my wife's childhood home cassette tapes to digital format. We were hesitant with the process at first after watching a few YouTube videos from other people that had their cassettes converted from one of the big box stores. The video quality came out worse than the original format, the sound wasn't synced correctly, and just looked sloppy. After reading so many great reviews for Got Memories, we contacted them to see what they're all aboutFrom the beginning, Phil was professional and super friendly. He explained the quote to us and went over in detail what the process was like. He kept us updated via text through the whole process which proved he could be trusted with my wife's videos. Within about a week, we received the email with the converted videos and we were blown away. The quality looked clearer and sharper than the originals and the sound was synced perfectly.At the end of the day, we could've just chanced it, saved a little money, and went with the other company. However, seeing as we saw so many disappointed customers, we knew we had to go with Got Memories. We are so grateful and excited to share these videos with the rest of her family. Thank you again, Phil!

I highly recommend Got Memories for digitizing your media. Like many, I fell for the ads from Legacy Box and sent my movies to them for digitization only to find out, after paying, that they do not (will not) digitize the sound from 8mm/super 8mm movies. Very disappointed! Then I discovered Got Memories. Not only would they digitize my movies with sound they were professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. Got my digitized files when promised and am very pleased with the work they did. Also got my original Super 8mm movies back 3 days later. OUTSTANDING!
Awesome service!!! Turned 18 - 8mm's into files we can work with both on our laptops and iPhones. So very cool. Lightning fast service and amazing quality....
Excellent service and extremely quick turnaround! I brought in about 7 vhs and they did an amazing job at getting them digitally converted in such a short amount of time. Super knowledgeable and professional. I now understand what everyone is raving about. Don’t look any further, go to Phil!
Working with Phil to digitalize family home movies was fantastic. He was easy to communicate with. The file digital transfer and backup process was so easy once I received my files. We were able to enjoy movies we haven’t been able to watch for 18 years.Highly recommend!!
The absolute best customer service in the world!Very knowledgeable about video transfer and turnaround time was immediate.Also, the owner Phil is nicest guy ever. I felt like I knew him for years the moment we met. Thanks for such a great experience 😁
Got Memories is amazing! Phil took care of us from start to end. He made the process incredibly easy and pain-free. As a former film archivist, I was very impressed with the high quality and the great price.
Beyond my wildest expectations!I sent off 15 films with no idea what was on them. One film was wider than the others. To my amazement, when I got it back, if was my 77 year old sister learning how to walk in 1943. It was so clear and beautiful. All the films came out perfectly.And the people you communicate with - amazing! Sent me digital files before the films came back so I could see them that much faster. Flash drive is on it's way. Such a great and professional outfit. I highly recommend them.I would say call rather than email - much faster response.
I’m really glad I trusted the amazing reviews for this place to get my VHS film digitized here. I brought down three tapes with footage from decades ago hoping to get them in digital form by Mother’s Day in 3 weeks and I got them back in about 4/5 days! I also wasn’t able to stop by the store to pick up my tapes so Phil helped me by mailing them to me instead. It was overall a simple and easy experience and I’m happy I was finally able to watch the footage all over again!
I love the quality, value and responsivenessthat Phil provided. He transferred my mom's8mm film for us that was, in some cases, 60 years old. He organized the reels so that my mom knew exactly what was what and did an excellent job. We are very happy with the service and product and would recommend Phil and his team highly.
Got Memories is your go to video transfer spot! Phil was responsive and friendly from the start. I really appreciate how quickly my videos were transferred. So glad I chose to do business here. Call yourself to see what type of service I’m talking about!
They did a superb job digitizing my husband's family's home movies. Great customer service and super quality. I highly recommend this business!
I live in Michigan and came across a Youtube video for Got Memories? as I searched the web for a video transfer company. I submitted a request for a quote,...
I heartily recommend Got Memories for all your conversion-to-digital needs. Phil Thomas, the owner, is delightful and professional, and went out of his way to convert 60 slides and one 8mm film by the very next day, to be ready for my family reunion lunch. His company then converted the remaining sixteen 8mm films in my stash in a timely, economical, and careful way, and gave me both a data stick and a download so that I could share them with my family in whichever way the family wanted. Thank you, Phil; I've already passed your business cards along to several friends!
I had 53 reels of 8mm film that my father had taken over the years. They transferred all of them to digital and They came out great! Now I can share them with my family. Great job.
Amazing quality VHS to digital conversion! Phil has a passion for his work and for customer service. If you're trying to decide where to take your...
In short, Got Memories is downright amazing. The work they do is astounding! I work at the Fort McDowell Museum and Cultural Center and we discovered a treasure chest of historical 8mm film reels. We decided to go with Got Memories based off the reviews we read and we do NOT regret our decision! Most if not all the film reels were captured in beautiful 1080p. Their work is worth the price because I'll tell you something: depending on how your family films are stored, precious memories captured on celluloid may not last forever. So, get your 8mm rolls, your 16mm reels, your 35mm photo reels, VHS tapes, Beta tapes, or whatever you have to Got Memories! They'll deliver stellar work and you'll be able to relive all your old lovely memories whenever you want. I can't suggest their services enough!

After finding a box of old vhs tapes from when my kids were little, I wanted to digitize them for a present Looking online I came across got memories. I read all the five star reviews and have to agree with all of them. They provided quick service and excellent workmanship. I would highly recommend you to use them if you need your memories saved.
Great job. You can trust Got Memories with your precious film. Also they were communicative during the whole time. They did over 8500 feet of Super 8 and it turned out great. As good quality as the film ever was. Thank you.Ken HeathAiken, SC
So I found these old 8mm reels which I found in our attic and I thought it would make a great gift to have these transferred onto USB for my parents for Christmas. Phil the proprietor provides a brilliant service and handles the transaction from start to finish. He's British (he reckons he knows the Queen), tells awful jokes and has bad teeth but don't let that put you off! He operates a very slick operation and his service is world renowned - no joke - he has a map of the world on the wall in his reception with drawing pins showing all the places across the globe that he's received work from! Highly recommended!
Best money I’ve ever spent. Was able to give my family a priceless gift of memories that brings so much laughter, joy and even a few “good” tears! Don’t wait any longer with that box of tapes, send them in and in no time you’ll watch the best home movies ever made! Can’t recommend Got Memories enough!
While doing some New Year's cleaning I found three VHS tapes and a DVD that I wanted to transfer to a flash drive. Got memories is super close to my house...
Phil at Got Memories is the best! My mom sent me an old 8mm reel and asked me to “do something so we can watch it.” Got Memories had the best reviews, and rightly so! Thanks to Phil, I now have video from my parents’ honeymoon in 1962! Fast, reasonably-priced, professional service, and a fantastic, hilarious conversationalist to boot! Highly recommend!!
I used the service that Got Memories offers to change old 16mm & 8mm films that were left by my parents after their passing. The majority of these films were taken from the years 1948-1974.Phil did an excellent job in restoring them to a digital format. I was very pleased with his effort to treat my films as if they were his own. I would definitely refer him to do anyone else’s films. I plan to use him for all my digitizing of my own family film needs.
I had the best experience with Got Memories. They converted close to 500 slides from the 1970’s to digital files for me and the quality is exceptional. The turn around time was very fast too. I highly recommend them!
This company goes above and beyond what I ever expected. I had damaged tapes that Phil worked on, giving us back special family memories. His turn around time was amazing, very professional and Phil really knows his craft. I would highly recommend this company - rather than a Costco option or any on line options. Having someone you can talk with and work with in person is the key to getting the best products. His pricing is also great. Can't say enough good about Got Memories.
Got Memories is a great company. Phil really knows his craft. We had multiple damaged tapes that he was able to collect images from. His turn around time...
I'm so happy I found Got Memories! I recently found a box with 17 reels of 8mm movies from 1968-1970. I've lost both my parents and have family photos, but nothing like the treasure I found in this box. Not only did it bring me joy watching movies of me when I was 4, with my 7 brothers. I saw my parents in a whole different light. The movies brought a lot of healing in a way I didn't expect. When we get older, all we remember (and focus on) are the differences we have with our parents. We forget the laughter, love and special times with our parents and siblings-childhood memories fade. These movies brought it all back!Thank you Phil/Got Memories for "literally" taking me down memory lane!I highly recommend Got Memory. Phil is incredible! Price is very reasonable. Service is fast & professional.

I was anxious about boxing up our family treasures. The folks at Got Memories allayed those concerns, and am I glad they did! Very good communication throughout the process, and I couldn't be more pleased with the end result. And the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend Got Memories!
Found a bunch of old 8mm tapes amongst my father's things. The memories were priceless. Phil got them done ahead of schedule and I was able to share them with family and friends for the holidays. 10 out of 10 if it was an option.
Having my husband's old home movies restored by Got Memories was the best decision ever. To see my husband who is much older than I, and compare pictures to my son is incredible. Those memories are priceless!
I don’t think that any words can express how awesome of an experience I had with Got Memories. Phil, the owner was extremely intelligent and helpful. He went above and beyond what was expected of him. He was compassionate towards our need for a projector rental for my brothers memorial, was helpful, and gave that sense of small run business feel that you just can’t find anymore.Here’s just a couple examples. He spent an hour on video chat with my mom walking her through how to burn a DVD filled with a slideshow for the memorial, didn’t charge us for that, he printed out my eulogy last minute for me so I didn’t have to stop by UPS, and he was flexible with pick up and return dates. I truly felt like he was just a very helpful guy who wanted an extremely difficult time for my family to go as smoothly as possible, which it did. Thank you Phil and Got Memories! I highly highly recommend this business!

We needed an eight mm dual sprocket projector and no one in the valley had one. Phil, at Got Memories, was able to provide one at a very reasonable cost per day. It worked great and we were very pleased. Phil was very helpful as well as professional and informative. Got Memories is the place to go for video and movie transfers to digital formats and rental equipment you may need. Thanks Phil!
I used Got Memories to transfer some old Home movie reels to high-quality digital format. The quality of the transfer was excellent. Phil was extremely helpful with any questions we had and provided recommendations. I would definitely recommend Got Memories!
Turned in 49 old tapes and videos. Whole process was done in less than 10 days. Very happy with the quality and service. Phil kept me informed along the way. Would highly recommend Got Memories!
So happy with the service and responsiveness! I highly recommend Got Memories. Phil is efficient, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Awesome job!!!
Phil did an AMAZING job!! Exceeded all expectations!! Very professional and personable at the same time. I would not have trusted my families memories with anyone else. Highly recommend him. He advises you on the process for making your memories manageable. He also makes you smile.
I called them on a Friday. Super nice guy named Phil answered. Personal service. Answered questions. Professional, friendly, FAST! Highly recommend!!
Phil did a great job converting my very old 8mm Kodachrome reels to digital. These old reels date back to 1955 and were stored away by my parents.My sister just recently made me aware of them. My biggest concern was to protect them. Phil did a great job and was very prompt. I do recommend Got Memories and Phil.
This was my first time doing business with “Got Memories”. It was an absolute delight to work with Philip. He is extremely kind and we struck up a meaningful conversation while discussing the project I was working on in converting some old 8mm film. He will not disappoint! Salt of the earth.
I can't say anything more than the other reviews have already said. Just top notch service! You will not go wrong with Got Memories. Now I'm on the hunt to find all of my old video tapes to have transferd. Thanks Phil!!
Phil has ALWAYS taken care of me. He is responsive to all communication and quality and service are absolutely perfect! He is a good guy to do business with!
The transfer of my old family films was a seamless process. The quality is excellent and they were very informative on the process. It is not an inexpensive option but the final product is equal to the cost.
We had 40 year old 8mm film that we wanted to transfer digitally. GoVideo responded with exactly what we wanted and provided great customer service in the process. I would return and recommend.
Requested a quote, received and immediate call. Phil explained the process, and made it super easy. Quoted me a two week time frame, but received them in one week. I had some 8mm film converted to DVD and to a flash drive. The cool part is they are now compatible with google photos and I have shared them with numerous family members already! 👍
The owner is wonderful to deal with. Lays everything out very clearly, gives multiple options, and delivers as promised. Also just happens to be the best deal in town.
Inside this small store in the corner of a strip mall is a fantastic service company that bends over backwards for customers and does great work. I dropped off 12 old VCR tapes and within a week received a thumb drive with old memories I shared with my family. Couldn't have been easier. Also, the owner Phil is the type is person you want to do business with. Knowledgeable, trustworthy, and looking to build an enduring business - not make a quick buck. He actually advised me to save my money in one situation when he could have easily been quiet about it and charged me more. I highly recommend.
This is the only place I trust with my client films. Phil at Got Memories is a very Personable guy and works with me on a one to one basis. Wouldn’t think of using anyone else!!

AWESOME!! I would highly recommend Got Memories. Phil and his team kept in contact with me when my shipment arrived and then again prior to him sending it back. The process to transfer the films was completed in A timely manner, (less than 2 weeks) . I had 23 Old 8mm films to convert in addition to several VHS tapes and super 8 discs. I had been researching several companies. I reached out to a few. Phil contacted me and we began the process. He made things very easy. Very professional with GREAT customer service.
Phenomenal service. Fantastic experience. Picture quality was outstanding. Photos have since made it to relatives around the world. Many joyous smiles Thank you.
Recently we found several 25 year old baby videos of our son. Got Memories communicated with us when they received the tapes and were nice enough to send us a little teaser of the videos before completing their services the following day.Thank you Got Memories for securing our videos forever!
The whole experience from beginning to end was very professional and excellent. I highly recommend their services. I’m getting my mother in law’s films and videos sent to them for digital transfer. Kudos to GotMemories
Sent 16mm film that's 30-40 years old and spliced, 13 reels. Even during this wonderful pandemic GM completed the digitizing in a timely manner. Couldn't be happier with the quality. Will recommend GM to family and friends.
So much more reasonably priced than the local shop we could have used. Great service with a very personal touch. Quick turnaround. My flash drive arrived sooner than I thought it would. Quality of old 8mm movies was as good as possible. I would highly recommend this company. Don’t hesitate to use them!
I used GotMemories to digitize 40+ hours of 8 mm and Super8 color family movies taken from 1942 to 1979. The converted video files are outstanding! Excellent clarity and amazingly accurate color rendition. I sent my movie spools and reels to them in 7 batches. Their customer service was excellent and they kept me in the loop for each batch. GotMemories has my highest recommendation and trust for digitizing old home movies.
Phil was great to work with. I received a great price on Video tape transfer to a thumb drive and not only was it complete four days early, he delivered the order for no charge. Video came out great!Doug T.
Had a fantastic experience with Phil@ Got Memories. Very quick service, great communication and a very reasonable price. Will be back after I dig up more “Memories”
I have been using Got Memories for many years now to assist my clients with their film transfer needs. Got Memories staff is professional and extremely responsive. The equipment they use produces AMAZING results with the frame by frame transfer and color correct. Their pricing and turn around times are very reasonable. I have never had any issues and HIGHLY recommend them for anyone that needs film transfer done. A++++
If you have old videos you want to preserve on a CD go here! My mom had over 200 Super 8 film rolls from when we were very young and I was afraid to simply hand over these irreplaceable films. They know they are working with delicate family treasures and memories. They are very efficient and produce high quality products! Highly recommend!
Phil was the best. honestly- I don’t do reviews- but he helped out big time (so an exception is in order) with some 8mm that had to be transferred to digital last minute for a fam. Reunion. Great job- met the deadline and for what - seemed to me- a good price.
Tons of 8mm movies disorganized and mislabeled and Got Memories helped me organize them and digitize files so I can edit in iMovie and share with family at...
This is one of the best kept secrets in town! Our story and our review of this company is probably pretty typical. We have a large family and a favorite family member passed away unexpectedly, and we had the inevitable task of cleaning out a house that nobody was going to use. Naturally, nobody wanted to really keep anything because it was all 30+ year old stuff that we didn’t want or need. We found a box of old film and VHS tapes that seemed to be family videos. Only problem was that none of us had any type of player that could actually watch any of these things. Half of us wanted to throw them away and the other half wanted to figure out a way to watch them. I ended up finding Got Memories and they made us a deal and they transferred everything to DVDs and USB drives. It wasn’t cheap but everybody in our family split the cost and they were so happy that they did. We all agreed that getting those things transferred to modern technology was the best thing we did for our family. There were some amazing and silly memories on there that would’ve been lost forever had we not found Got Memories. Thank you!!!
Super helpful and friendly. Turns out for my unique needs, He actually referred another company that could handle us. Much appreciated!
Amazing service. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable on all the different formats and the care they take with your media is unmatched. If you have old film reels or tapes, get them to Got Memories right away.
Excellent job !!! I had Got Memories transfer 8mm home movies to DVD and thumb drive..what a beautiful job they did with home movies of my family from the 50's and early 60'S.. Thank you very much
I cannot say enough about the customer service at Got Memories. I took in 19 different old videos on VHS, camcorder tapes etc. I had no idea what was on most of them. They were able to take the mess that I brought them and convert it to 19 movies on a thumb drive. The quality is much better than I expected (as many were quite old) and they were kind enough to demonstrate exactly what I needed to do with the videos to make individual/personal thumb drives for my family as Christmas gifts. I have found more videos and will be making a second trip to Got Memories after the holidays. They are awesome!!!
I brought in 19 vhs and hi 8 tapes to be digitized for my family to a digital usb drive for presents and preservation. I read the reviews online and got...
We brought in our old camcorder videos for data transfer and GotMemories did a fantastic job! All of our old videos of our children are safely saved on a flash drive that can be uploaded to the cloud. Tommy was super friendly to work with, full of information, and explained how to access everything clearly.
I used Got Memories to transfer a couple Super Eight movies that I made some 40+ years ago. It was great getting the film transferred to digital files on both a DVD and on a thumb drive that I was able to import into iMovie to edit in some vintage audio tracks. What a blast from the past. They did a great job, the digital video was really good. Friendly service - I would definitely use them again.
Got Memories saved me in a pinch! I was semi nervous to hand over my personal family memories into the ‘unknown’. YIKES! How could I be sure my irreplaceable videos would be cared for? But Got Memories eased all my worries! I dropped off my videos at the store and they were able to convert them just in time for my family reunion. They were very reasonably priced, professional, and included amazing customer service that is really hard to come by these days. I was able to show off my converted VHS and old video recorder tapes directly from my phone or computer and I could share it with the whole family with one click! Looking forward to digitizing the rest and getting all these boxes out of the house. I highly recommend them! Thank you from our whole family !!

This is one of the most amazing things we could have done with all of our family movies that were on tapes. VHS, BETA, small camcorder tapes, etc. We had them all - even some of my parents old 8 mm films that have never been watched. Everything was transferred. It brings tears of joy to now be able to watch and share them with other family members. This company did an amazing job and I would highly recommend them. I want to say "Thank You" Got Memories for allowing us to now enjoy years of family memories.

I had the idea of gathering an attic full of old tapes and reels, then editing them into a keepsake movie for my mom on Mother’s Day. I talked to a few different companies before finding Got Memories and no one could answer my questions about the processes quite like them. The whole experience of mailing the media to their location and getting back a quality product was awesome, and I was able to edit the family video in time for Mother’s Day. Thank you, Got Memories!
Wonderful movies on DVD from 8mm silent movies. I was so afraid of sending off these precious films just to anyone. Got Memories took care of everything and put our memories on discs. A great experience with professional skilled people handling priceless moments.
"I unfortunately lost my digital copy of several 8mm films which were converted about 5 years. The Got Memories staff politely and efficiently reached into...
Great service, and fast! I had an old VHS tape converted to digital format. Phil's friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend going there if you have any VHS, film, etc .. you need converted.
We have turned to Got Memories numerous times over 10 years for the transfer of our 8mm family movies from the 40's and 50's to digital format. We received great quality service, product, customer service and communication. Could not be more pleased!

I was apprehensive about sending my only recorded memories of loved ones gone. The lady at Got Memories was wonderful from telling me how to package my shipment to letting me know they arrived and when they were on the way back. I had one VHS tape that sometimes jammed in our player that had the only footage of my deceased father in law. They took extra care and was able to put it on dvd. I have no worries in sending Got Memories my beloved memories to transfer in media.
Got Memories performed the highest quality conversion of my Super-8 film out of every service I tried. The output was clean, consistent, and stable. I requested high-quality digital output (at the time, ProRes .MOV files) and provided them storage for said files, and they accommodated my request. For the quality of the conversion I received, I felt their prices were more than fair. Got Memories remains my first choice for Super 8 film conversion.
The service took good care of my reels and presented the DVDs in a timely manner. Some of my home movies were over 40 years old, but the quality on the completed DVD was good, despite the age of the film. I was pleased with the outcome and felt relieved that my old home movies were preserved.
In late 1940 the nation was entering World War II while simultaneously attempting to recover from a deep recession. My parents had been married for only 3 years and were renting a house for $50 a month. With only an 8th grade education, my 20 year old Mother was working in a laundry. My Father worked as a butcher along side his Father. They had very little income and a one year old child. It is difficult to imagine why he would invest in a professional quality, 16mm Bolex, camera at that time. I can only imagine my Mother’s reaction and the resulting hardships. With that said, it’s disheartening to imagine why he did not take steps to properly preserve the results.As you told me, the resulting DVD quality would be no better than Bad with some being Really Bad to Terrible was very accurate. But, the images were good enough! You were able to salvage images from 78 year old film of me as a toddler (which I had never seen) up to my wedding 54 years ago; images of my long deceased Parents, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles; my wife’s deceased Parents; and so many others. There’s even a shot of my Solo Flight for my Private Pilot’s License in 1966. At almost 80 years old, there are so many forgotten memories, people, places and things. I was able to see them again. Very emotional for me. I’ve been writing my autobiography for a couple years with many blank time frames. You’ve helped me fill in many of those.Yes, it was expensive. No, I couldn’t afford it. Yes, it was worth it. I’m so glad I waited no longer with the risk of loosing more than I did.THANK YOU! You and your staff are miracle workers to say the least.You have my permission to use this testimonial in whole or part as you choose.Sincerely,George Beyers
Tammy at Got Memories is a 5 Star Employee who gave me greatservice and a fantastic product. Look no farther.

Great service on getting your old reels of film transferred to DVD.I do transfers to DVD as part of my business. I do all the tape formats, the reels of film are the only media that I do not do myself. Their process of transferring is the proper way of doing it. I have been using Got Memories for years now, getting them my clients film to transfer for me ... great service with high quality results. Thanks

Can I take still pictures from the frames of film?
Taking Still Frames Of Old Film and Making Pictures & Slide Shows From the DVD
A lot of questions about taking still pictures of individual frames of 8mm, Super 8 & 16mm movie film.Yes, it can be done! Using VLC media player, you can click on the ‘video’ tab and then ‘capture freeze frame’. If you are using a mac, simply hold the ‘apple key’ (command) hold shift and hold 4 all at the same time & then a ‘bulls eye’ comes on the screen and you simply drag around the frame paused on your player and then let go, that saves to your desktop! Upload to Facebook, email and even create a lovely slideshow like a customer of ours below! The quality of our frame by frame transfers really shine on the stills!
Note from Larry via YouTube:
Dear Got Memories.
Thanks to your quality transfer I was able to pull or create so many wonderful photos from our restored 8mm movies. These are photos we never had before. While there is some (natural) film grain the images really pop! The link below is proof of that! Thanks again, Larry Tocci
