My shipping box arrived a week after I started the process. I sent 8mm, Super 8 and some 1940s/50s film that had been stored in a box in the attic for 40 years. I also sent some VCR and mini VCR tapes. I was surprised at how quickly everything was processed. I was able to view some digitized content after only one week. Even broken film was processed- I was impressed. The older films were grainy, but that was more a function of the age of the film rather than the processing, I believe. It's definitely a pricey endeavor if you have many films, but was worth it to me and my family. Without this process, priceless moments would have been lost forever. I can, now, share these memories with family and friends!

I cannot describe the feelings that hit seeing my kids as little ones converted from VHS to digital from 1986. My daughter was a baby and my son was 5 in the videos. My son is now 40 and daughter is 35. I didn't even know if they were any good or not. I am so happy I did this. Yes, they had degraded some but so worth it to even try to get them converted. I may start on pictures soon as they are also a mess! I would highly recommend you try this company!

I sent iMemories a bunch of film/vhs tapes after the passing of my father and they were able to convert them to a digital format and give me access to so many memories growing up. If I can offer once piece of advice to someone looking to acquire this service it is to not wait until you lose someone to get these memories back. I would have loved to sit down with my Dad and watch these and figure out what was happening in most of the silent films he had from serving in Vietnam and when he was young. Thanks to iMemories, I know have these forever and can share them with everyone.

IMemories' system is very well organized and their customer service representatives are excellent. I encountered only two problems: (1) seemed like color enhancement might have made some slides a tad more difficult to see, but this is probably debatable (2) I had prepared our family slides by grouping them and then further ordering them by number. The digitizing maintained my groupings but ignored my numbered ordering of the pictures. My prep work wore me out, so I've left the slides grouped but not ordered within each group. I guess a computer savvy person with nothing else to do could re-organize the slides on line, but I'm not one of those people. I decided the groupings were sufficient and the random presentation within the groupings was sort of interesting. Lastly, whenever I had a question, iMemories' customer service representatives were knowledgeable, patient, and respectful in helping me. Simply put, they are the best group of customer service reps I think I've ever encountered.

I had a great experience all around. My biggest complaint is that it was very tricky trying to arrange all of my videos. I had lots of trouble testing to choose the file to love and even scrolling up and down on the page created difficulties. I could not use the scroll bar at all; I had to use the up and down arrow on the keyboard. When I tried to select a video, it would highlight several at once and made it challenging to organize them. But the rest of my experience was excellent.
