It's always been a pleasant experience dealing with Dan at the Columbus store. The product is nicely done and the prices are reasonable. My one tiny quibble is that you need to be very clear if you need something done by a certain date. Other than that, I just think it's a friendly, well-run business that creates order out of chaos.
Description of Work: I've had many projects done there over several years. The latest are a transfer to digital form of a family VHS tape and the creation of an album from photos in a three-ring binder.

Dan did a nice job on conversion with several batches of slides, over 200 in all. Results with a few slides in one batch were a little off, and they redid them no questions asked. Price was as good as it gets in our area or online. It's a small operation so sometimes a little slow, but we were not in a great hurry and they offered to rush if needed. Recommended.

As expected - we have all the videos on a hard drive, and once we have time to go through them, Familography will put them onto DVDs for us. The owner was easy to work with
Description of Work: We had a bunch of 8mm video cassettes copied onto a hard drive. They were videos of our kids growing up, and we didn't want to lose them.

Description of Work: Familyography took my dad's old slides (over 400 of them) that were we used to show on our projector when I was young and put them on disc. What a wonderful trip back in time! The quality was as good as possible considering the slides were 45+ years old. I would to there again for sure.

Description of Work: Familography converted family snapshots to digital images on discs. They charge much less than many other places and the owner is a very nice person. The work is good. If you don't have to get something done right away it may take a little while, but the owner will take care of you sooner if it needs to be done ASAP. I had a positive experience.

It was completed in a week and I got the tape back and an audio cd. I am so happy. No more sound of the cassette player in the background. It was well worth the price and Daniel is very nice.
Description of Work: I had an original old recording on a cassette tape that I wanted converted to an electronic format. It was something that had great meaning for me.

During a visit with our daughter, we ran across a small roll of 8 mm film purported to include footage of her baptism - 43 years ago. We found Daniel on Angie's list, and took the film to him to see if he could convert it to DVD. Despite the obviously amateur quality of the film (much of it jerky and shot into the sun), Daniel was able to successfully convert it to DVD and provide us with some 43-year old memories. The cost was very reasonable. Having had our apetites whetted, I suspect we'll look around for more memory-loaded films and slides to take to Daniel for conversion to usable format!

Daniel took my video recording from our elementary school band and choir concert and loaded the audio from several of the songs onto a CD. He was knowledgeable and friendly - traits I value as a customer (and sadly see lacking in many big-box and chain stores), Turnaround was nothing short of amazing. And I'm talking six days before Christmas - when fast turnaround is crucial for those last minute shoppers :). The price was more than fair. It was fun to read the special label he produced where he referred to the CD as "smash hits from Indian Springs Elementary Choir" and "exclusively produced for Grandma XXXX" I have passed this store and read their sign so many times and thought it sounded like wonderful gift ideas. So happy I finally listened to that voice! Definitely a satisfied - and will be a repeat - customer.

They were particularly helpful taking super 8 mm and 16 mm movies and converting them to DVD.They also assisted us in putting together a presentation for our grand daughters graduation party. Part of the DVD involved an honors event that was recorded 24 hours prior to the event.Dan was very helpful with our particular requests and successfully provided the material for the graduation in the presentation DVD.
Description of Work: He has two offices in Columbus and Cleveland. We have used them several times.

He performed the service way beyond any expectation that I thought he would be able to do. I had forgotten I had these tapes. After seeing in what bad shape they were, I needed them to be transferred to DVD and chose to give them out as Christmas gifts. My children hadn't seen any footage of themselves as babies in years and he was able to save that so they could see for the first time in a long time. I recommend that if you have old tapes lying around you get that done today. The longer the tapes are lying around their chances of being salvaged decrease.
Description of Work: I had old Super-8 tapes that were over 30 year old that were twisted, tangled, and torn. He performed a miracle and had them transfer to DVD.
