At Memory Keepers, we value your memories like they are our own. We ask you to consider the following items should you compare our service to others:

  • Your movies never leave our care, custody and control. We do the work ourselves and do not ship your film off to a transfer house on the West Coast.  Your movies will be expertly transferred by a mature and extremely competent technician.

  • The quality of the final product is dependent on the use of superior equipment.  At Memory Keepers, we use high quality digital cameras to capture your precious memories.  Our expensive cameras boast three CCD imaging chips.  Each chip renders one million effective pixels.  This compares to, for example, a $1,200 digital camera available at Best Buy which contains only only one chip with only 700,000 effective pixels.  All imaging chips "read" images in terms of red, green and blue.  Our cameras have one dedicated chip for each color versus handling all three colors with one inferior chip.


  • At Memory Keepers, we transfer directly to DVD.  We fully utilize the 540 lines of resolution offered by a DVD.  Some competitors automatically go to VHS first, and then to DVD.  A VHS tape only holds 240 lines of resolution.  Therefore, their final DVD product can only contain 240 lines of resolution.
