Vince did a great job converting two of our home video tapes to both DVD and digital files on a thumb drive. His service was relatively fast and personable. He was very flexible with timing which was made it more convenient for me to drop off the tapes on a weekday evening when other businesses probably would have been closed. We're glad to have found his service!

Vince did a great job converting our 22-year-old 8mm videotapes to DVD! He converted over 20 tapes with every memory accounted for, without any damage to the original tapes. We watched the DVDs and the sound and video quality is the same as when we took the videos, 22 years ago. Now I don't need to worry about the videotapes getting damaged and can watch our home videos from the convenience of our desktop. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Vince!

I am very pleased with the service provided by Vince Allen. He converted my 34-year old VHS tape to 2 different formats for me. Vince completed the job later on the same day I dropped off the VHS tape and I picked up my completed package the next day. I found the cost for his services to be very fair and the quality of his work to be excellent. Vince is very pleasant to deal with as well, something hard to find these days when one is looking to purchase a service or product. I wholly recommend Vince Allen for your VHS conversion work.

If your looking to have your precious home VHS tape's converted to CD's look no farther than Allen's Memory Lane. He is by far the best! Professional and fast service. Just what I was looking for in the area. No sending tapes away to just anyone. He took such care to preserve every moment on my tapes and made repairs as needed. Past family pictures preserved to cherish for ever.

Allen's Memory Lane provided excellent service and a quality product. Mr. Allen worked with me to accommodate my non-traditional timeline and communicated frequently with updates. I appreciate that this business is local and takes pride in taking care of customer memories.

Vince Allen did a fantastic job of converting our VHS tape to a DVD. We were very impressed with the quality of his work. He was professional and helpful. The job was done in a very timely manner. We could not be happier with his services. We would highly recommend him.

I was searching for a local videography service for my 30 year old video tapes when I came across Allen's Memory Lane via DuckDuckgo.com. I felt extremely insecure about sending my precious old tapes out of state. Some of them were damaged and had been eaten by our old VCR. Vince was able to repair and copy them all onto DVD's and a flash drive. It was quite a wonderful experience to view all of my old videos so professionally transferred to a device so easy to use.

Our family history is now immortalized and it is possible to share with other family members. As soon as I first spoke with Vince I sensed that not only was he very professional but also very detail oriented. When I met him to deliver my tapes for transfer I felt very confident that he would produce good results, and I was not mistaken. Thank you Vince at Allen's Memory Lane for restoring our memories.

Allen was very easy to work with. He was quite honest to set expectations on the front-end for migrating my old VHS family tape to DVD. The original was silent home movies from the 60's that a family member moved to VHS a long time ago. In the end we now have a digital format that will not deteriorate and can be easily shared

I had numerous home videos taken with a camcorder that I wanted to have converted to DVD's. Vince Allen did a fantastic job at a very fair price. My husband has slides he wants to have converted to DVD's. We will be taking them to Mr. Allen. I would highly recommend him.

We had one VHS and many old camcorder tapes that we wanted to convert to digital. I wanted to use someone local vs sending it away to a service because I had questions that I didn't think would be easily answered using an online service. When I talked to Vince, he explained his process and answered all my questions. I told him that I wasn't in a hurry as these tapes had been sitting around for years, but I was hoping to get the VHS tape (of our wedding) first since I was looking for video of my grandmother who had passed away from Covid complications at 103 earlier this year.

He literally called me the next day to say it was done and we could come get it. Quality was great and we loved watching it with our youngest daughter who could never imagine her parents looking so young! We just picked up the rest of the stack of DVDs and will slowly make our way through them. Since we didn't label anything, we had no idea what was on each of the old tapes, so Vince eliminated the couple of blanks that we had. Definitely recommend.

So, about 18 months ago, I started thinking about creating a tribute video for the men I served with during my army career. I wanted to have it ready prior to our next reunion. The hope was that it might inspire some of the guys to make the trip in order to remember olds times and create new memories. As the video was approaching its deadline, I discovered another VHS tape containing footage I new I wanted to include.

I took it over to Allen's Memory Lane and explained my situation. I'm really glad I did. He took great care of that 30 + year tape and transformed it into a digital format I could use. AND, he did it extremely quick. I was able to meet my deadline and received numerous positive comments about the video. I believe it may make a difference in the number of men who will make this years reunion. Bottom line, if you need an old tape converted, I would HIGHLY recommend calling Vince. You won't be disappointed.

During my cleaning out and organizing, I came across 20 plus vhs tapes that we recorded when our daughter was little. I was going to try and convert them myself at first and then I thought about sending them away to one of those companies. After doing some research, I came across Allen's Memory Lane. I remembered the name, because he had done recordings of my daughter's dance recitals over the years.

I then decided to call and I spoke with Vince. Vince was extremely nice and so professional. I packaged my tapes up, took them over to his house and within a few weeks, I received a call that the DVDs were done. I spent most of yesterday watching them. The DVDs brought tears to my eyes. My parents and grandparents are gone now, and to hear and see them with our daughter brought back all the memories. Thank you Vince, for taking such good care of my precious memories and preserving them for us. I would highly recommend Vince. He is a true gem! Thank you!

WOW! It is NO surprise that there is not a single negative review about Vince Allen! He is hands down a man of integrity who no doubt takes GREAT PRIDE in his work! He demonstrates qualities of professionalism, efficiency and excellent quality! Vince took on 15 VHS home video tapes and converted them into DVDs in just days, so as to gift them to my husband in time for Father's Day! Thank you Vince for making this a stress free experience, and ultimately preserving memories that we can now watch while sharing some laughter and tears!

RE: VHS tape digital conversion service is excellent! I reached out to Allen when a previous digital conversion from a well-know mail in company was unsatisfactory. Two tapes to thumb drive were unstable and jumpy through-out. Allen was not only able to stabilize the video he also found an additional 3.5 hours of footage that the mail in company missed! That footage was priceless. Allen's work was completed in a timely manner at a fair price. My advice - stay local with digital conversions.

I have a collection of mini cassettes that I have wanted to convert to DVDs but never felt comfortable putting them in the mail. I finally found this website and instantly felt relieved that he is local. After meeting Vince, I knew immediately that my tapes were safe with someone who takes great pride in his work. He was so pleasant to talk with and had my tapes converted quite quickly. I will gladly recommend him to anyone who needs any of his services! Vince was very kind and professional. I am very pleased and will not hesitate to work with him again!
