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 and processes.  There is only one better transfer process than ours.  That transfer process is referred to as a Rank Turbo transfer.  While our transfer process has been compared very favorably to the Rank Turbo transfer by PC Magazine, a Rank Turbo transfer is the best.  A Rank Turbo transfer costs many multiples of what we charge.

  • Other film transfer providers use inferior services which can include filming a projected image off of a screen, using fixed-rate capture processes (which typically create video at a speed different from the speed the film was orignally shot at), using multiple reflection surfaces between the film and the capture device, using older analog VHS capture devices (and then transferring to DVD, which still only yields analog VHS quality), etc.   In addition, many other providers do NOT clean and condition your film.
