This company was recommended to me and I'm so glad I used them to convert my family tapes to digital! Instructions are very clear and if you have questions, staff are easy to contact and very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The quality of the digital conversion is good for what I have viewed so far. I will recommend this company to all of my family and friends.

Worked great :)
October 7, 2021

I had 2 cassette tapes, one that was over 25 years old and another that was closer to 50 years old. I sent them in and Southtree was able get the audio from them and give the audio from them back to me in digital files. I was very happy with the service.

I was very pleased with the results I received from Southtree. I had about 40 old tapes of various formats. I was expecting 40 seperate CDs but was pleasantely surprised when they were delivered to me on one thumb drive. Awesome! I am sending more to be digitized. It is the only way to go.

I love Southtree!
April 23, 2013

I love Southtree! Sent in around 28 old vcr tapes of my family and some super8 film reels. Some of these films were from my parents and had footage I'd never seen! They turned out great, customer service was attentive and I had quick turn-around. Have already recommended to family and friends.

Not Happy!
February 6, 2016

I sent Southtree four separate orders from March 2015 through April 2015. Just got a chance to start going through all of the DVD's I got back... Not good at all. Only one of the orders did not have a problem. I'm not talking about little problems; I'm taking about sending 20 tapes in and only getting 18 back, some not playing at all, getting someone else's videos... No doubt they will do what they can to fix it but I don't know how they are going to fix some of the problems.

Quality work
March 26, 2022

I submitted 40 camcorder video cassettes to Southtree and have watched about 7; the quality of the picture and sound are the same as
They are in the camera playback, no deterioration since 1991, in 32 years. I possibly have 5 0r 6 more cassettes which I will send to them
When I return to where they are located. Their price is the best I could find and in this era of disaster capitalism, they stand far above the many low quality operators.

The process was super easy, and the price is so much less than I anticipated. Less than my local photo store AND the drugstore near my home.

I am currently going through the house to find everything that Southtree can copy for me!

Southtree did a great job changing my cassette music to a cd. This was a special memory for me. If and when I decide to do this project again... I will call Southtree. I am very satisfied with the service.

I was very impressed with the job done with my old 8MM. I found the website to be very easy to understand and when I did not a simple call to South tree was all it took. Customer services over the phone was great. I like the emails that are sent explaining where your order is in the process. The last email you receive is the best one, "your memories are on the way". The price was the best par, t I was not paying 700.00 or more like other places I had look into. With a Groupon the price was even better. Thank you to your company for the tears and laughs I had watching my family from many years ago. Charlotte

Extremely Happy!
May 3, 2022

I treasure my home movies! Southtree preserved these precious memories to dvd's and to a flash drive for me. The quality of the transferred movies is much better than I expected, and I'm thankful to have two saved sets! I am a happy and satisfied customer. I highly recommend Southtree!

Great experiences
January 12, 2016

I have sent in old VCR tapes to be converted over to DVDs on two different occasions. Both times I have gotten updates as to where this company was with orders. Both times, a VERY satisfied customer. I still have some to send them. That will be done soon. Love this company!

Scam
June 22, 2022

I sent my order in 5 months ago an paid in advance. I was notified that the order was received an they would be starting on it soon. Two weeks later I was asked to send an additional amount to complete my order, though skeptical I send in additional funds. That was 5 months ago. No updates. Phone calls or emails. I do continue to get advertising emails from them saying they can provide the services I paid for over 6 months ago. I advice going with another company. I think I got scammed. Stay away…. I have

Sent several VHS tapes and super 8 camcorder videos in to be placed on DVD. It was a total waste of money. Half of the DVDs came back with nothing but blue screen. It's like they hit play when converting, walked off, then never looked at the final product. We spent approximately $175 for nothing. We got little notes in our box stating we weren't being charged for the items that couldn't be converted. Never saw that refund.

I sent in some old VHS tapes and 3inch film reels that belonged to my late parents. I couldn't be happier with their service! I got everything back in under month and everything was transferred perfectly. I have no idea why there are so many negative reviews. I feel like 1 or 2 angry customers have multiple accounts that they post reviews on. A customer service agent told me that they ship out over 100 orders a day, so it seems that the vast majority of people are generally happy with this company. With my experience in restaurants I know that people who dislike a company are far more likely to leave reviews.

Anyway, I would recommend South Tree to everyone!

Very pleased
December 29, 2015

Had two different orders. One for 6 VHS tapes that are about 30 years old. The next was for a small reel tape that was made from an AM radio station in 1968.
My experience with the two transactions was great. Southtree kept me informed of where in the process my tapes were. I liked that. My first order was for the VHS tapes. Considering the age of the tapes and the number of times they had been re-recorded I was very pleased with the way they came out. Some things were missing but I expected that because of the way the tapes had been carelessly stored. (Or was it just that I forgot what was on the tape?) The reel tape came out pretty good also. I have to admit that I was surprised.
I would recommend Southtree. They were great to work with and responded quickly when I had questions in the middle of the process. They made me feel like my order was important.

Very consciences
July 19, 2016

They had one mistake on a transfer to DVD by not rewinding the tape before copying. But they were quick to resolve the issue and did an extra tape free of charge and waiving the shipping charges. They were quick to respond and I would recommend them without reserve.

Best and fastest
August 24, 2016

I cannot praise this company enough! I had several videos of my parents to distribute to my siblings. I tried to make copies at home, but the experience was way too painful. I wanted a company who would treat my family keepsakes like they were their own and that's what I found with Southtree. Yes, I was worried sending my videos and a audio recording and some slides that we couldn't view. I didn't want to send these precious items to different companies and then have to struggle to remember where and whom. Southtree did it all, VHS, audio, slides and more. All converted to digital on disc and a jump drive. Easy peasy.

Memories
April 8, 2021

Was great to see my old memories come back to life. My only complaint is three of my videos have no sound. I'm an electrical engineer and can't understand how the DVDs can have great video but no sound.

We found a cassette tape that had a recording of my husbands deceased brother on it, we were afraid to play it in case it got ruined, so I sent it to Southtree and we received the original and 2 cds back and now I can make copies of it for each of my husbands siblings and nieces and nephews that would like the keepsake. Thank you so much Southtree!
