    I just want to thank you and tell you just how impressed I am with your work. I never thought those Magi-cartridges would turn out so well! The quality is way beyond what I expected from those very old reels… so many great memories that I can’t wait to share with my family.

    Had my Super8 film transferred it to DVD quickly. I can not believe
    how clear the picture looks.
    Did an excellent job!!

    My family's super 8 projector broke
    a long time ago and I have not been
    able to see my family movies in
    quite a while. When I first saw
    them for the 1st time on DVD, I was
    amazed how clear the picture looks. Thanks!"

    After fifty years, I was finally able
    to hear and in a sense, join with
    my family at their Christmas Party in
    1959. The audio was unbelievably
    clear, I am sure much much better than
    the original! I had tears running down my cheeks! Thank you again.”

    I am so glad I sent these movies in to you to be transferred. These type of memories never can be replaced. If I would’ve not done this, if something happened to me, these movies would’ve been just thrown away, and hours and years of memories would be gone. I’m so glad that you have this company.

    My God, this is amazing! Seen this film many times but have not experienced it like I just did since watching it projected 25 years ago. You have given me a great gift!

    I had originally sent my film to another company that was unable to transfer the sound, so I am incredibly grateful I found your service. Hearing my grandmother's voice again is priceless!
