I ordered videos and about 100 pictures. Video's came through good on DVD's... pictures did not come through at all! They sent the disk, but nothing was on it. So I had to send all the pictures back to do again (which they sent me a UPS label for, so at least just a added hassle). Unfortunately about 1/3rd of the pictures scanned with a multitude of scratches through the picture. Scratches were not on originals. So an A- on the videos, a solid F on the pictures.
I'm looking at videos I haven't looked at in 20+ years. Very nostalgic and completely loving it. I have the thumb nail which makes it easy to view as I'm sitting at my computer. I'm in the process of cataloging what I had video taped years ago. Loving it!
Hi Patty! We are LOVING that you are so happy with the final product! We are ecstatic to help you digitize your precious memories!
Recently had Legacy Box make 80 DVDs from our old VHS tapes and a couple of reel-to-reels. The process was easy and fast. The quality of the DVDs is excellent.
Hello Julie! We are so happy that your experience with us was quick and efficient! We strive for that kind of service so thank you for the wonderful review!
What a fantastic outcome! 35 year old VHS tapes restored - the next generation will see the people we grew up with - LegacyBox even sent a notification. So easy - great result.
Hi John! It is so fantastic to hear that you can share these memories with future generations to come and that you can keep the sweet moments alive! We really appreciate the wonderful review!
I was very impressed with my experience with Legacybox. I had plenty of time to organize my tapes and it was very easy to pack them up with the supplied box. I got them back in a timely fashion. There was one tape that they were unable to transfer due to mold and when I contacted customer service they were able to refer me to another company who did deal with the issue. All in all, we are really enjoying watching our memories and I really appreciate a company that takes the time to respond to me in a timely fashion with the answers I need. A great experience!
Hi Emma! We strive to make the process easy and exciting so we are so glad to hear that the experience was a great one for you! We hope that you are seriously enjoying the awesome memories and we are honored that we could make that happen for you! Thank you so much for the glowing review!
The photos, VHS tapes and cassettes that I could view first turned out great and are wonderfully preserved now for us to enjoy. However, I sent some labeled videos for my husband that I wasn't able to view first (Don't have a VHS player, came from his parents) that were nothing more than taped soap operas. I wish they would contact you first to warn/ask you if you want these materials recorded digitally, to make sure you didn't make a mistake.
Hello Susanna! Thank you so much for the kind word and constructive feedback! We are so happy you are enjoying your memories again!
Legacybox is great to deal with. The whole process is user-friendly. The Super 8,8 mm and VHS reels and tapes came out great.
Hi Della! We are so happy to hear that the whole process was easy and that you are happy with the final result! Thank you so much for the positive feedback and hope we can help again in the future!
I searched all the sites available to transfer my old HVS tapes to DVD's. I checked all pricing and "how too" provided on line. What a load off my shoulders to realize I can have Legacybox do all the work for me. What a delight to finally see them after all these years. My grandson lost his dad in 2013 when he was very young and has not seen some of these tapes. This will be the best birthday present I can think of for him to have these precious memories of him. My entire family is so excited to see them all, which I have lots more to share. Thank you Legacybox to once again see these memories come alive!
Hi Linda! WOW. We are so honored to have helped you complete such a wonderful, wonderful gift! We truly appreciate this glowing review but we are over the moon that you are getting to enjoy these memories once again. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and making us apart of digitizing these super important memories!
It's as easy as putting the stuff in a box. All of our 16mm or whatever the size of that old film is from the 60's and 70's with no sound showing us in pigtails and crawling in the dirt because our parents weren't scared of the world yet. AND the recent digital video tapes that were better than the vhs-c tapes (which we had millions of) and the regular vhs gargantuan cassettes. Dump it all in and it comes back on a thumb/flash drive and you can share/YouTube and enjoy your old memories with out need for anything other than a computer. Legacy box was fast and high quality. Great work!
Hello Alexander! Thank you so, so much for the glowing review! We are so excited that you chose us to transfer those wonderful memories and that you were happy with the product and services! We hope we can possibly help you again in the future!
Hold your tapes. They dont copy the full tape and you need to check all. Feel good provider but erasing memories every day.
Hi Ken! We do not delete or erase any footage we receive, as our facility physically does not carry the equipment to do so. This is an attribute about our company that we do not yield on as these items cannot be replaced. Additionally, our system is designed to always record from beginning to end. There's not a way for a tech to avoid that process. However, many times customers believe there's more footage on their Tapes than what was actually used. So sorry that seems to be the case here. However, if you need anything else please reach out to us at Questions@legacybox.com You can reference our Supervisor, Jessica.
Not impressed with the results. Pretty expensive. I still haven't gotten all the files back. I can't find the digital version of what I sent.
After dismantling 46 family photo albums 7 years ago, all of our family photos languished in boxes and bins through 3 moves of our household. After a friend told me about Legacybox, I decided to give you a try. The first 100 sent in turned out well, so now the process continues. The next 300 will be sent in soon.
Hello Anne! We are so happy the you decided on us to help you transfer SO MANY wonderful memories! We look forward to working with you for many more orders and are over the moon that you are happy with our product!
I had 5 vhs tapes converted to dvds. Process said it take 4 to 6 weeks but it showed up in 3 weeks. Happy with the product and happy i got to preserve my memories.
Hi Jonathan! We are proud of our quick turn around but so much prouder that we helped you preserve your sweet memories! Thanks so much for the positive feedback!
Very easy to do! Love the digital download. I can watch videos anywhere! I recommend Legacy Box to everyone. It's a great way to get your memories at your fingertips!
Thank you for the glowing recommendation Katey! We are super excited that the process was easy and you are happy with the final product!
I hesitated to have my old VHS, 8mm and slides preserved because of the price tag! Now I wish I'd prioritized it sooner! Not only are my family memories preserved beautifully, they were also carefully tracked and monitored throughout the process so I was able to relax and trust the process.
Hi Allison! Thank you for the kind comments! We are SO happy that we could help you transfer your precious memories and appreciate the wonderful feedback!
Though there are many options out there, legacy box does the best job of photo and film preservarion. The colors are vibrant as if taken yesterday,. The provide all materials back and neat packaging. They are worth it.
Hi Janice! THANK YOU SO MUCH for your feedback! We appreciate each customer's positive commentary on our service and allowing us to preserve your lovely items!
We discovered a treasure trove of old 8mm movies in tin canisters from 1946 and beyond.
We sent them to Legacy Box and were thrilled with the finished product! They helped restore such priceless memories for our family to share. Their customer service is outstanding. Thank goodness for Legacy Box!
Hey Ellen! Thank you so much for allowing our company to provide this service to you and your kind words about our Customer Service team!
The quality of the transfers of my 8mm home movies to DVD was so good we couldn"t believe they were the same movies we took 50 years ago and had watched on our old 8mm projector. The process was so fast and we were able to enjoy the movies in less than 3 weeks. The many discount offers made the cost so reasonable. We reccomend Legacybox wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to preserve their memories. Thank you Nick and Adam and your awesome crew and your fantastic transfer process. Larry Baehr
Hey Larry, Thank you for allowing us to digitize your 50-year-old movies!
Went with the starter box. You can only send back 3 reels for the start up price or pay more for extra reels. On the super 8 sound reels they DO NOT do sound transfer with the final product. Just want to let future customers know in advance. Please check the status of your order on your own because they did not send a confirming email to me that my final product was sent, but after getting my cd back, the quality was great and got my originals back in the same condition as sent. They even told me my old films was damaged and fixed it at no charge. Thank you Legacy Box for the memories.
Thanks, Mark for the feedback! Super happy we could preserve your film!
So pleased and happy that I have trusted my old videos to Legacy Box. They are a great vendor, did a wonderful job on old videos and brought back so many fond memories.
Hi Mary! Glad we could bring your memories back to life!
Answer: All Video and Film Transfers are done so at 480P. Additionally, we convert almost all consumer formats of videotapes, photos, film reels, and audio. Here's a full list of formats we can digitize: *Videotapes: VHS, VHS-C, S-VHS, S-VHS-C, Betamax, Hi8, Digital8, Video8, MiniDV, HD MiniDV, and MicroMV A note on foreign tapes: We can convert most PAL and SECAM consumer format tapes. The only foreign format we cannot currently convert are PAL and SECAM Betamax tapes. Just put a note in your box if you have a PAL tape. *Film: 8mm, Super8,16mm, and Super16 A note on sound: Since sound on film is so rare, and to ensure we're providing the highest quality transfers, it is not our standard process to digitize film with sound. *Photos: 35mm Slides, Photo Prints (up to 8.5 x 11"), and 35mm Negatives A note on photo packaging: When sending in your photos, slides, or negatives, we ask that you remove them from any extraneous container, group them in bundles of 25 and place them in clear plastic ziplock bags or envelopes. *Audio: Standard Audio Cassette Tapes, Mini Cassettes, Micro Cassettes, and 1/4" Reel-to-Reel Audio If you have any more questions, let me know. I am happy to help!
Answer: Legacybox sends everything back to you along with any thumb drives, CD's you ordered.
Answer: No. Just went through this with them. It's a "tough luck" and they keep your money.
Answer: Nope. They took 3 months to tell me an item was "damaged" and then told me their refund policy was 20% or more of the media damaged to give any refund.
Answer: Hi Judy, Great question! We ask that slides be grouped into sets of 25 (one item) either in an envelope or ziplock bag. We will provide small barcode stickers to apply to each bag of 25. Slides will be processed in numerical order, according to those barcodes. The order within each set of 25 is not guaranteed as there are alternate factors such as shipping where they could move around. The digital files are free from any copyrights so you can very easily re-order them however you'd like once you receive them back! Please reach out to our customer service team for the fastest responses at questions@legacybox.com if there is anything else we can help you with!
Answer: Hello, thank you for reaching out to us! Yes, the digital files you receive back are free from any copyrights so you are more than welcome to edit them as you see fit. Please reach out to our customer service team directly at questions@legacybox.com if there is anything else we can help you with for a more prompt response time!
Answer: Hello Lowell, We are a 1:1 transfer company meaning what is on your original will also be on your digital output. We do not offer any editing or enhancements. The digital files you receive back are free from any copyrights so you are more than welcome to edit them as you see fit. You can also request multiple copies when placing your order as well. Please reach out to our customer service team directly at questions@legacybox.com if there is anything else we can help you with for a more prompt response time!
