| - Gotmemories sure trumps the first place I tried, called scandigital.com .
Honestly, I cannot comment on the QUALITY of the transfer yet, but I can certainly comment on the SPEED.
I sent two boxes of tapes to be transferred to DVD, 2 weeks ago. Never received a confirmation that they'd been received. And it cost nearly $10 dollars per box just to ship them, because Scandigital REQUIRES shipping by UPS.
OK, methinks, at least I got the transfer for 1/2 off, because of my groupon.com deal. So instead of $20 per tape, it's only ten bucks each. The 2 groupons I got only covered the 2 boxes, and I had 7 tapes still to process, so I decided to compare online prices for converting those.
Locally, I could only find $15/tape here in the tiny village of Los Angeles. But then I stumbled upon gotmemories.com .
This place had glowing reviews for quality and their prices were - get this, now - SEVEN DOLLARS EACH! They're not far - just in Arizona - and their site shows you how to pack them up for shipping and all the little details.
So, the next day, I sent my remaining tapes to GotMemories? and this time, by USPS, for a whopping $4. Already, I'm liking this.
On July 8th got a confirmation that they'd received the tapes. Yesterday got a notice that THEY'RE ALREADY SHIPPING THEM BACK! That's a five day turnaround, folks!
So, for gotmemories.com, we've got Price, Quality and Speed.
Scandigital isn't even on the radar...even at half-price!

Just an update - I received my DVD's a day or two after I wroter the review and the quality is TOP NOTCH!
These videos were taken on a nearly-high-def Sony camcorder that required a "Firewire" output to get the maximum quality for a download. Their FW output never worked, for some reason, so the only videos I'd been able to output were through a USB port and were nothing to brag about. Got Memories must be really on the ball, technically, cause these came out looking like at least 720P on my big plasma screen!
You folks have my business, for sure, and I'll sing your praises to everyone I know that's got a stash of tapes or film.
