I needed to digitize some HI8 videotapes from 2002 to hopefully use the live footage for a project we are working on. We've had issues getting decent footage bc we are a loud rock band in loud clubs being recorded on a 90's handheld with an awful microphone. So everything has been a distorted mess. Decided to try sending a couple off to see if we can salvage anything. Sent 2 tapes to 1 company & sent 2 here. Although a portion of 1 of the tapes is glitching & is unusual useable, the rest were far beyond my expectations! The audio was especially impressive. So we just sent 4 more out today & Forever Studios is who we will use moving forward. I highly recommend. Just be patient & you'll be happy with the results.
