Hi Allan, Thanks for your feedback. We don’t transfer copyrighted material. We only work with family recordings from video tapes and film. There are many reasons why film would need to be restored – mainly due to damage caused by age, humidity and how it was stored. We have restored 16/35mm film as old as 1916-1920’s. Video tapes have been around since 1980’s and they are going bad for the same reasons. We are also able to salvage many of those.
