Excellent company. I met them at the CLE home & garden show, they talked me through their digital transfer process. Reasonably priced (though truth be told I didn’t conduct a ton of research). Super friendly and regular communication. So impressed I talked my Mom into trying them out with her old footage. Very glad we did. High recommendations from me and Mom!

ARS was extremely friendly and accommodating when we had a rush request for data duplication. They came through in less than a few hours for us, and charged an excellent price. We will definitely be repeat customers. I can’t recommend them enough!

I have had 16mm film from the 1940’s, 8mm cassettes from 1990 and some 78 rpm & 33 1/3 rpm (very damaged) vinyl records converted. ARS did phenomenal work! I highly recommend ARS Video for any audio/video conversions. AND the personnel are wonderful to work with!

Lauren and Gary were great to work with.We first sent our videos to Legacy Box.What a fiasco that was.I met Lauren at the Christmas connection in Cleveland .I took the drive to their place and am very happy with the competed flash drive.Our intent is to give ARS more of our memories for restoration .
If you are considering preserving your collection go with ARS Video !

Response from A.R.S. Video
Thanks Toni. It took us a little effort to remove the adhesive from the Legacy Box barcodes on the recorded side of the Mini DVD’s. Yours was not the first order we’ve received that Legacy Box was not able to complete. We spend the time to clean and restore damaged tapes and film. We are very glad we are able to process these orders and save the priceless memories. Enjoy….

ARS did a wonderful job converting a bunch of old VHS tapes into a flash drive. Our family is now able to laugh and enjoy watching 20 years of memories made with the kids growing up.

I live in Connecticut, but Lorin and her exceptionally competent staff at ARS Video are more than worth sending my... (highly fragile) video and audio out to Ohio. What they did for me—digitizing old Kodachrome film stock, ancient recordings on cassette tapes, and so much more—was nothing short of miraculous. I just discovered them this year, through Kent State, but I’ll be sending on more of my stuff and recommending them to anyone and everyone! If you choose them, and you should, you’ll be in excellent hands!!!read more

ARS did a great job converting over 1200 feet of 8 mm film into thumb drives. They also added music to the films and... did a great job selecting the music. My extended family should now be able to enjoy these priceless movies for generations. Thanks again. Tom Foxread more

Amazing experience!! We just didn’t want to in trust anyone with our big box of 65 tapes. They showed us around... production facility, kept an open line of communication through the process. Exceeded our expectations with how they labeled our hard drives. We are now planning on going thru our boxes of photos to have them digitalize them.read more

I highly recommend ARS Video. They transferred a1996 VHS video to a flash drive with a copy going to Google Drive. My... equipment had a hard time with the flash, but the link to Google Drive worked perfectly. This company was very efficient and responsive to my needs and inquiries. I’ve worked with one other company on this video and they made a complete mess of the process. ARS Video has a very fair price structure. Just Excellent.read more

I cannot say enough good things about ARS Video. They are responsive, provide clear communication about the process,... and keep you informed every step of the way. They are polite and friendly and take great care of your special items. I would come back to them just for their service, but their prices are more than reasonable. I was very impressed with their ability to salvage VHS tapes that were moldy and damaged in a flood - you don’t get that kind of service from the online, send away companies. I will definitely be back with more in the future!read more

I found ARS Video when searching for a reputable place to send our old family video tapes for conversion to digital. ... Glad I did! I appreciated the text notification when they received our tapes, the cost estimate (and then slightly lower price when one tape was mostly empty), the option for a cloud link, and most of all - getting to watch all of the videos after such a long time. I have since recommended them to family. Thank you ARS for the restored memories!read more

We just had a delightful experience with A.R.S. Videos. They are professional and did a tremendous job putting our 45... plus VHS memories and cassettes into a small flash drive converter to watch easily our tv or computer. They were even able to transfer my moms 7 milliliter wedding tape into a tiny flash drive to give to a few relatives and we were amazed at the color an quality of the film. Their excellent communication and wonderful attitude were also top notch. Our old memories have now become a treasure to watch and relive. Thank you A.R.S videoread more

Randomly picked ARS Video online to ask questions about VHS tape transfer—sure glad I did! Very willing to thoroughly... answer my many questions and to listen to my requests. Answered texts quickly, even if after hours hours or on weekends. Super friendly (mainly worked with Lorin), felt like sitting down at kitchen table with neighbor to discuss a project—no pressure, everything thoroughly explained. Superior quality website, interactions, work, shipping of products. Strongly recommend, will definitely do more media transfer business with them!!!read more

This company is outstanding! Their high level of customer service is personal and something you don’t find very often... nowadays. They contact you when they receive your old videotapes, then contact you again with an estimate of the cost, and then contact you a final time when they mail your videos and flash drives back to you. They treat your precious memories as if they were their own. Their prices are also reasonable and affordable. I will continue to use this family-run business, and I highly recommend that you do also!read more

Thank You Lorin Alvarez for the wonderful job you did for us in converting almost 12,000 feet of 8mm film to about 16... hours of memories from the 50s to the 70s. You brought 30 years of our adventures to life with the the music and sounds that you added to our film. We did quite a bit of research before we pick ARS and it was fortunate choice. The music you added to film of our three years in Spain with our 5 children brought out the joy we had of those years. Thank you much Lorin.Ford Lee - San Franciscoread more

We spent Mother's Day watching as a family. Thank you for taking the time to help us preserve our memories!read more

I couldn't be happier with this company. I sent 28 8mm reels with limited information written on the outside of each... box. They not only added my titles (a little bit extra) - but customized the music based on the subject matter. I was able to get DVD,s and flash drives for the whole family. No more movies under the stairs - now we can enjoy watching them anytime we want. If you want personalized service when converting your movies / VHS - this is your company!read more

Great local video transfer company. They did a great job transferring old 35mm movies into a dvd and flash drive so... that all of my husband’s brothers and sister can view their priceless memories of times gone by and treasured people who have passed on.Previously we have used internet based video companies. I don’t think you can compare those to having a local, responsible company. We would not hesitate to either use them for future projects and to highly recommend them to others. If you are looking for a great video transfer company look no further than ARS video and you will be saying the same things tooread more

The folks at ARS Video were very helpful. They explained what their services included and approximately how long the... process would take. Once it was completed the gentleman reviewed how to use the drive and checked out some of the videos with me. There was one he was not completely satisfied with. He said he would work on it some more to refine it and there would be no charge. My wife and I were very pleased with the final version and ordered 3 more copies for our children. I highly recommend this company.read more

I highly recommend using ARS Video. They are a professional family business who is very accommodating. We dropped our... tapes off a few weeks before Christmas with hopes that they would be converted by Christmas.
