Action Video Service

I relied on Action Video to convert several priceless home videos to DVD as a Christmas gift. Despite the fact that I procrastinated a bit and didn’t bring everything in until a few weeks before Christmas, they got the job done very quickly! (Several other businesses I consulted practically laughed at me when I told them my timeline.) The DVDs turned out great, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would absolutely use Action Video again should the need arise!

Lance, Nigel, and their team were professional and very accessible via email and phone. I arranged for 350 kodachrome slides and several super 8 films to be digitized. Action Video produced exactly what I requested. Their staff did not try to up sell me and did an excellent job scanning. The project was ready on time and the rates were very reasonable for 35 mm and super 8 film.

Great place, thanks Unilocal!Nigel and Lance were very friendly and patiently answered the technical questions I had. I am very happy with the results of transfer from VHS to digital. I highly recommend Action Video Service!!!

Great service, product completion is awesome. have used this business a few times over the past 4 years, and every time it is 100%

It’s rare that I’m delighted enough to bother writing a review.
I have a mountain of my family’s old 8 mm and Super 8 film reels, and a few of them (like my parents’ wedding video) are super precious. I wanted to have that one digitized professionally, and started shopping around. From their Unilocal reviews and their website, Action Video seemed pretty reputable so I took a chance.
They just blew away all my expectations. All the disclaimers said it would be 1 – 2 weeks for film conversion, but they did it in less than 24 hours?! They are super knowledgeable and professional, and made me feel comfortable that my priceless/​precious media was in good hands. (They explained that they use cold LEDs to transfer directly from the film, no running it through a hot projector.) The cost was a little pricier than I expected, but after such great service, I feel it was well worth it.
And also… they threw two Pixie Sticks in my checkout bag as an added bonus!

These guys saved my day. I had a horrible experience with another video agency in the uptown Dallas area which I won’t mention here but you can see my upcoming review. I was leaving town and needed to get this job of transferring my old VHS videos to DVDs fast. Not only were they fast but extremely nice and accommodating to my needs. I would highly recommend them.

Action Video Service is professional, friendly, honest, and priced competitively. I had 8 VHS tapes that I needed to convert to a imovie file format and they were able to do within 2 days. I called other companies in the area and they were the best priced. Not only that, but apparently two of my VHS tapes were television recordings and they didn’t charge me for them. So nice! They know what they are doing and make the experience easy. Thank you Action Video!

I took time picking out a company to do some priceless super 8 mm movies and went with Action Video. This company took treasured super 8 movies to a wonderfulful DVD & dvd HD. In house proceeding repaired original film. Wonderful wonderful company. They did it in house and the DVD is AWESOME.

I’m starting with a pre-​experience review. I have to give them a few stars for the courteous explanations on the phone. If you look at my other reviews, you’ll see that I have had a horrific experience getting a DVD converted from PAL to NTSC. In discussing the situation (I had a DVD and a VHS tape) we determined that the VHS would likely be the best «master» to use for a conversion DVD. I will update AFTER I get the work done and get the bill. **Wish me luck!**

I found Action Video Service by searching Yahoo and was impressed that they make their duplications in house and do not ship them to another state like many places do.
I did a lot of video work in college over 20 years ago and the only copies I have are VHS dubbed from ¾″ tapes. I co-​hosted a video review show for my college’s television station my sophomore year and wanted to get my copy duped to DVD. The show had some problematic clips that AVS was able to run through a computer to instantly fix, without charging extra.
I am very impressed with the results. The VHS copy has lots of tracking problems which I anticipated to be duplicated to DVD, but somehow the tracking actually turned out very smooth, especially for video from 1990!
I highly recommend AVS for converting VHS to DVD. I found their prices to be very reasonable and the staff helpful and friendly. I even enjoyed playing the complimentary Pac-​Man and Galaga (got high score) on an old-​school standup arcade game cabinet.
Cheers!
