I used Memorable about a year ago to digitize a large reel of 8mm movie film from the 1950s that was in very poor condition. They were able to salvage most of this footage that was more than 65 years old! I was very pleased. Last month, I brought in nine more large reels of ancient 8mm film to digitize and again, I was extremely happy with the results. I still have several more reels that I want to have digitized. Hopefully theyll have another good sale on their services soon!

I wanted to convert some tapes, and they were trying to sell me some subscription to an app to be able to view the videos. I felt very uncomfortable leaving my childhood memories here.

My wife and I trusted a full seven inch reel to Memorable. They worked closely with us all the way from the initial submission, to making certain they were preparing what we wanted. Consistent communication and always willing to advise, inform, and help. The transfer of the 8 films, which were from the 1970s, no sound, resulted in a beautiful product. We has these same films placed on VCR more than 30 years ago. There is no comparison. The quality of the digital films prepared by Memorable are superior. And, too, the VCR copies were starting to fade. We have more films we will entrust to Memorable in the near future.

Fantastic company - I cannot applaud Memorable enough! They digitized my familys 8mm film and it is beautiful! No dust, clear pictures, easy service and quick! I wont go anywhere else at this point and have already recommended them to many. Thank you Memorable!

Excellent in every way. The quality was as high as one could expect from Super 8. The turn-around was fast. And e-mailed questions were promptly answered. They really do deserve 5 stars!

Wasnt quite certain I understood the website information, so I called Memorable and chatted with a friendly fellow who answered my questions. Did a few things on the computer (password, credit card, the usual stuff) and a couple of minutes later received a pre-paid shipping label via e-mail. Sent to Memorable eight small Super-8 movie rolls. About ten days later, an e-mail told me how to open them on my computer. AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME. Our three year-old daughter (shes 47 now!), her friends, our friends, activities wed forgotten about. Super-8 quality was poor, but who cares. Memorable brought back a lot of memories. The cost is about ten bucks per small reel but well worth it for priceless memories. Plus, you can share the films via the Memorable web site. And, today, about five days after Memorable sent the images to my computer, I received in the mail a flash drive of the movies and the rolls of films, now altogether on one larger reel. Suspect Ill toss the film reel, but the flash drive is good insurance. Im a fan of Memorable now and plan to send more films for conversion. Thanks Memorable.

I dropped off a few reels of 8mm movies from the 1960s. Memorable digitized them within a few days and handed the consolidated reels back to me, along with a flash drive. So easy now to view great memories! We are very pleased and will return to Memorable for more digitizing. Thanks!!

My recent experience involved the digitization of 8mm and Super 8mm film. In short my evaluation is excellent quality and attentive service. I was specifically impressed with the image enhancement. Color saturation was increased but in a refined and selective manner and not overly done, which is all too often the case. A pleasure to deal with a truly professional service.

From my layperson’s perspective, Memorabilia did an excellent job in providing scans of my old photos and protecting my originals. The color and detail of the scans looks great.I chose Memorabilia since they had great reviews, reasonable pricing and a professional staff. I dropped off 2000+ photos, 600+ negatives, several movie files and several oversized photos to Memorabilia for scanning. Memorabilia finished this project in a timely manner, which was about two weeks. When the scanning was done, I received a flash drive of the scans and received my originals back in the same condition they were left at Memorabilia. I met the professionals doing the work and I was impressed with the level of sophistication they use to get the best scans. I reviewed the scans once the project was done and the scans look great.I am glad that I now have a digital scan of these items as well as the originals. The digital scan is easy to share with the family and preserve family memories.

Memorable converted 4000 ft of Super 8 with sound movie film for me. Excellent Results! Turnaround time was 2 weeks. I gave my daughters flash drives with the movies since they were the stars of the movies. They loved being able to see them and themselves on their TVs anytime they wished to do so. Now the technical highlight. The real advantage over doing it myself which I was preparing to do with my projector and camcorder is that Memorable uses a sprocket-less drive system so there is no sprocket drive noise! They also look at the film for quality of their transfer. They noted a half moon shape on some of the film images which was from when I forgot to raise the boom microphone to clear the lens. They also noted that they had redone one reel when they were not satisfied with the results. Before I started using sound film, a few of the first 3 minute reels were not sound film and they also noted that in their report to me. My movies dated from the early to mid to late 1980s. I renamed the 15 files on the flash drive copies to reflect the dates of the original recordings so my daughters could easily select what they wanted to watch from the TV screen menu. I had checked with another major nationally advertised film transfer service last year but they couldnt handle sound film; Memorable could and they did an excellent job for me.

I found a 8mm reel of film of my parents 1952 wedding. I did not expect much, if anything. However, Memorable was able to transfer the film to a flash drive, and the movie turned out very clear. My siblings and I were thrilled! This precious memory was well worth the money spent. I sent it out on a Monday, and got it back on a Wednesday. The staff was awesome! I cant thank you enough!

Our mom passed suddenly and my task became to digitize 50 year old family slides and an 8mm film in time for her memorial service. I located Memorable via a Google search. They were professional throughout and digitized 268 slides and the film within 5 working days. Your excellent service made a sad day - just a bit brighter. Cheers, The Thomas Family

Very Happy with your service. The picture was clear and the sound clear.Everyone was asking me where I went and I told them Memorable in Northbrook.

We had a combination of old VHS, 8mm tape, VHS-C and 8mm film that we wanted to preserve but hated the idea of putting them into a box and dropping them of to be shipped across the country to a company that we had not worked with. The process could not have been smoother. We received notifications that the shipment was received, being processed and completed. We received all of the originals back with the order number on them and flash drives with the digitized copies. We were so pleased that twice as many are being sent next !

Memorable is an outstanding nationwide service for transforming old media to digital. They transferred several of my old films -- with no extra charge for 16mm or the optical soundtrack. Personal service and very reasonable prices.

Outstanding service, outstanding quality, and extremely helpful staff. Seriously, start this project you have been thinking about and putting off. Give these folks a call now and get started on it. All my relatives are ecstatic about the quality. They love the invites I send them to view the old family movies and photos the Memorable cloud service provides. Best money I have spent in a long time!

Great customer service. Really good quality. Ive used other digital conversion services in the past for old video reels and the quality of the digital files from Memorable is far better. Will definitely use them again.

Fast, friendly, helpful service, with reasonable prices. Owner went out of his way to help me. Nearby in Northbrook.

A little while ago, my first project with Memorable was to capture 8mm film and a VHS tape to electronic and discs as an introductory project with them.That went so well, this past January I brought in over 35 VHS tapes spanning 20 years of family history to capture to electronic files and Blu-Ray DVDs. They did a fantastic job in terms of helpfulness, quality of work, communication and efficiency.I appreciate that the video files are my property and am able to edit them as I please. Not all companies allow this.They are so easy to work with and look forward to my next projects with them. I highly recommend Memorable.

Unfortunately, i had a very poor experience here. I paid for a rush job (3 days turnaround for slide scanning). The quality was literally what i had done on my cheap home scanner - no effort was made to even frame properly. The prices were HIGH and, worst of all, they didnt scan all my pictures (but charged for them) and were really rude when i asked for them.I emailed and called but literally no return call.I cant figure out how they stay in business.

I couldnt wait to see the results of having my Super 8 film transferred to digital. I was very pleased and am excited to see my Dads face when he gets this as a gift for Christmas. Very nice experience and plan to send my remaining film to Memorable. Recommend!

Dan was Awesome. Not only did he get my work done super fast, he discovered 1 of the tapes was not what I thought it was, so he saved me on that one. Thanks so much! Will definitely be back with more projects!

I had many old reels form early 60’s to mid 70’s, some in B/W, some in color, some with soundtrack some silent. And in 8mm as well as Single8. The results of the transfer, delivered in a portable 1Tb hard drive, were superb! I had sent previously couple of these reels to Walgreens and Costco, and I can honestly say there is no comparison. Kudos!

Memorable did an outstanding job of digitizing 400 photos for us recently. We now will have them in the Family forever. Also, gave us a thumb drive with the photos as well. Great work and will always use them.

I was extremely happy with the VHS to blu ray transfer project that Memorable completed for me. I had brought in 5 very old VHS tapes from the late 80s and they converted it to stunningly clear digital quality. Their service was professional, fast, and the updates were often. I have tried other services for the same type of work and this place was the best by far.

Memorable does a great job with reels to slides to everything in between, and they are also very nice on top of that! Kudos!

I was putting off my project of digitalizing my VHS tapes for a long time.Memorable made it very easy, fast and affordable. Thank you very much!

Memorable was easy to work with, went the extra mile with personalized service, good pricing and a turnaround time that was quick even during Christmas rush. This was for a project transferring a 30-year-old video to DVD with menu and multiple copies. I originally found them when trying to find someone who could make a DVD out of an old 16 mm film that had a separate reel for its soundtrack. No problem, good results, and very reasonable prices! Happy to work with them even from halfway across the country.

Friendly staff who went above and beyond to satisfy this fussy photographer. Transfered vhs to digital mp4 achieving excellent clarity, sharpness, and color on the final product. Will use this company on the numerous other jobs I have in que.

I sent my familys old super 8 filmstrip to the team at Memorable. We had it processed years ago by a local business back in the VHS days and I felt like it would be nice to reprocess it with todays technology. I was blown away by the results. I dont think that the quality was even this good coming out of the film projector. The team was great to work with and I knew that they cared about protecting and preserving my memories. I recommend this company to anyone else who has media they want to preserve.

Had a VHS tape transferred to a few flash drives & a DVD.Was very happy with the finished products.

These guys are pretty good. I wish the app was better suited to our needs, but we are very pleased with the service and I highly recommend it.

Excellent work. Then quality and turnaround time were outstanding.

Exceptional in all aspects. Thank you!!

They were professional and finished our order while we waited. Would definitely recommend

I was looking long time ago some one who can transfer my super 8mm film into digital, but it was a must they have sprocketless Film Scanner because a lot of the film I have is damaged. Another must they should have is the wetgate solution to minimize the visibility of damaged parts of the film. And thanks to a person at Nikon I find Memorable and I contact Dan Zonca.I was afraid to send all the 18 big rolls I have so I sent one to see how was the quality of the transfer and I was amazed the job they did, I was so happy that I sent immediately the other 17 rolls. I´m very grateful first with the excellent work they did but also to Dan Zonca for his help and attentions.

Words cannot describe how incredible Memorable is!!! I am so happy I went with Memorable to restore and digitize my 3,000 feet of 8mm footage from the 1950s to 1970s (and also 2 Betamax tapes). Before deciding on Memorable, I spent about a month doing detailed research of all the companies out there who offered restoration of 8mm footage (I was also looking at a few wetgate companies, but in the end I didnt think they were as good as what Memorable had to offer). I choose Memorable in the end for a number of reasons - first off, the quality of their sample footage looked to be among the best. Secondly, Eugene (the founder of Memorable) was so wonderful to work with - I e-mailed him multiple questions every day for several weeks, asking all kinds of questions about the process (I mean really detailed questions!), and he always responded very quickly with detailed answers. He literally answered every single one of my questions (and I must have asked 20 questions!). He was so kind and informative. So A+ for customer service!Beyond that, I was apprehensive in general about sending all of our footage in the mail (was worried about the mailing service losing it). Eugene said that they have never lost any footage in all the years theyve been doing this. I think a lot of that is because they pay for you to send them your footage in 2-Day shipping (either UPS or FedEx). Sending it rushed shipping like this helps to prevent it from getting lost in the mail (theres also detailed tracking information on your package, I was checking the tracking information on it like every 5 minutes, haha - it constantly updated which was nice).But in any case, it took less than a month to get all of our videos back (the originals we sent as well as the hard drive, which contained both ProRes and mp4 files, and also a Blu-Ray they made). And WOW.... I can NOT describe how SHOCKED we were at how AMAZING the 8mm footage looked!!!!!!!!! It was unreal!!!!!!!!! My Grandfather had got them transferred to VHS in the 1980s, but that transfer looked like absolute garbage compared to Memorables transfer! Their HD sprocketless scanner individually scanned each and every frame of film, and then I believe they put each scan in to the computer to generate a digital video file (this eliminates the problem of having the projector slow down and speed up, so you get a constant, stable frame rate). Everything is SO clear, it actually looks WAY better than our VHS home movies from the 80s and 90s, which is crazy! Its crystal clear, its bright (but not at all too bright), the brightness/contrast ratio is just perfect. Just, WOW! Words seriously cannot describe how wonderful this footage works.Memorable informed me every step of the way too - they called me when they were finished with my footage to let me know the package was coming. A few days after I received it, they e-mailed me to ask how I liked the footage.In short - if youre looking to get your 8mm footage transferred, GO WITH MEMROABLE! You will NOT regret it!!!!!!!

Quick attention to my project of converting my dads old, old films. Thank you! You are a great team!!!

Very good and quick service

I would like to highly recommend an excellent digitizing service for all your photos, 35mm slides, home movies and videos. Just had over 5000 photos, negatives, slides and home movies scanned and digitized by Memorable, which is located in Northbrook (formerly Pixcel). Eugene & his staff have done a wonderful job, and the results are impressive. Media editor Harrison Raybuck took the time to explain the process, as well as Memorables timeline app, which gives you (and family) access to all your photos & videos on your PC, tablet, or phone by simply scrolling the date. It would have taken me several years to do what Memorable did in a few weeks and my results would not have been anywhere near as good.

They are ok. Extremely overpriced, and the employees arent the friendliest.

I transferred Beta and Super 8 plus a boatload of slides. In many cases, the new transfers look better than the originals.
