Copying Old VHS Tapes to DVD - Professionally

I have been looking for a reliable, high quality, and reasonably priced service to copy all my old VHS tapes to DVD for a long time. These are, like most families, tapes we made of our children when they were growing up and of important corporate events at our company. This search for the ideal transfer company has gone on for years, mostly on line, as local services haven’t seemed to be either reasonable in price, or have the super high quality equipment needed to make really good DVD’s from such sources as VHS, Hi-8, and so on. It takes more than just copying.  In the past, I have found some inexpensive sources, but they don’t take much time to fix and correct and don’t have the best technical equipment.  I am now convinced if I am going to do it, I want the best.

So, I am about ready to try this on-line source  https://archivalcompany.com/

The Archival Company.  They have been in business a good while, and seem to do government work, and have proprietary software and nice features such as

1.      an engineer will observe the run, adjust color and make it as good as possible

2.      blank spaces will be removed

3.      you can, as an option, view it on line and make edits or add titles before they burn the DVD

4.      extra copies are only $4.95, a reasonable price for a burned DVD

5.      the best part: One price fits all -- $10.95 per tape copied.  Inbound freight free.

6.      nice testimonials give me a little confidence

They also do 35 mm slides.  For 44 cent each.  Not cheap, but 1,000 slides should do most families, and that would be $440.  Perhaps worth it. Your images will be scanned at 3600 DPI.  After scanning the originals, they crop, rotate and color correct the images as part of the service.   Your original media is returned along with a disc containing your still images in JPEG or TIFF format. You may order additional "project disc" copies, containing all of your images for family, friends or even for safe-keeping at $4.95 per extra disc.
 
As part of this service, they will keep a digital copy of your images for 1 year.  If you need a disc replacement, they can do it.   They have spent years developing their process.  They proudly stand behind their work with a quality guarantee.

So, I will start with maybe 10 VHS tapes and see how it works.  Do more if they come out good.  If anyone has a better source, please leave a comment so we can all have that information.
