Thank you so much Andy for your fast replies and work digitising 18 hours of old family videos for me. I was a bit nervous handing over these precious tapes, but Andy made me feel comfortable with his knowledge and open approach, and now I am able to watch hours of family history so easily on my laptop. A reliable and friendly company, I would definitely recommend

Hi Andy,

‘I am delighted with the quality of all my super 8 & standard 8 film you digitised for me; including the sound. Absolutely brilliant.!

I shall be splicing more of My, super eight sound and silent stuff mostly Kodachrome, for you to do likewise. Quality is even better than when I originally projected it 50 years ago! even the sound - perfect. Well done. Thanks again’. Jan 2024

‘The technical wizardry of Andy at APG Video enabled recovery of the music, performances and interviews from many 60 year old reel-to-reel tapes of Manchester-born songwriter Ross Parker (1914 - 1974), whose best-known hits are "We'll meet again" and "There'll always be an England".

These old tapes were recorded on an American 1950s tape deck, long since obsolete, and the material on the tapes had been considered irrecoverable.

Ross Parker was a successful songwriter, with many hits from the 1930s to the 1970s. He wrote for Jack Hylton, band leader and impresario, and the Crazy Gang for many years and also for shows in Paris, London and New York. His career included recording an LP of his piano playing, and comedy-acting on the stage in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

His family are very grateful to Andy that they are now able to relive their memories of the many times Ross Parker played, sang and entertained at the piano.'

‘I was looking for a local company to digitise my grandad's old cine films when I came across APG Video whilst searching on the internet.

My concern with having the films digitised, was having to give something so precious over to a complete stranger and worry that it might get lost, but Andy immediately put my fears to rest with a simple chat over the telephone.

When I dropped the box of 32 reels off, he very kindly and patiently explained the entire process. No rush, no hard sell, just a friendly chat.

We were going away a week later, so he sped up the process and had them back to me in under a week.

The quality was amazing, far better than I ever could have imagined.

Not only was it an excellent job, but I personally thought it was also great value.

Many thanks for bringing back to life some wonderful memories’.

Hi Andy,

‘Thank you for sending this over – a very poignant trip down memory lane for me, although I would choose different tracks now. I worked out that I must have recorded it 16 years ago and, like most people, I am not too fond of hearing my own voice... the music's good though’

‘You have done a splendid job and I am very grateful’.

Warm wishes,

Andy from APG Video has worked on a very large set of vintage cine films in a variety of complex formats. The results are outstanding. He has worked hard and with great patience to fulfilled many personal requests regarding editing and transfer to digital storage. My father was a professional photographer and it is wonderful to see his work restored and become a treasured heirloom for our family. Excellent quality service and very friendly and helpful communication too. Thank You!

‘I had the best customer experience possible with APG Video. I was in a panic over needing to get DVD's to a local address from overseas (the ones I'd originally sent were stuck in customs) by a deadline only a day away. Andy immediately responded to my cry for help, not only with incredibly efficient DVD burning service, but going above and beyond my expectations by personally ensuring that they were delivered on time. I'm so grateful for his help, and would highly recommend APG to anyone looking for truly outstanding service’

All the best

'Thank you so much for the audio discs. They are brilliant quality and has made my mum's year very moving for her'

‘Thanks again for doing my cine films for me - amazing quality. You might be interested to know that it's my Mum and Dad's wedding at the start from 'Jan 1951'

Cheers

‘I gave Andy several boxes of old standard and super 8 cine, video, mini DVs etc. to convert to digital covering 55 years of family history. It represented one of my most valuable possessions with large parts of it unseen for many years due to advances in technology. Andy was not only very easy to deal with and helpful in giving advice but produced a fantastic job at speed and at a very reasonable price – much less than I had anticipated. He showed personal dedication to the task, producing the highest of standards and is one of the most recommendable persons I have ever dealt with. Knowing how valuable the product was to me, I cannot thank him, or praise his work, enough’.

'Just checked your website and I agree with the comments made by previous clients, quality exceeded expectations'

‘I am writing to say a huge 'Thank you' for making a brilliant slideshow on memory stick from photos, 35mm slides and emailed pictures I sent. They will be shown at the celebration after my brother's funeral and they will really make a lovely tribute to him. I am so grateful, as I had initially approached a High Street chain who could only put the slides on one disc and the photos on another and they needed 4 weeks if they were to go on a memory stick. You have done it all at short notice and a matter of days. It is just fantastic, with a lot of the pictures better than the originals you have copied! Thank you SO much - I will be recommending you highly to friends and colleagues and will use your service again. Thank you - this really means such a lot to me and my family’.

Kind regards

‘Thank you so much for doing the DVD, I watched it Sunday afternoon, and had a little cry as my mum, dad and sister all on film have since passed away, I didn't even mind the music, Thank you regards’

'Thank you for excellent, professional and prompt service. Keep up the good work'

‘Hi Andy OMG it is amazing to watch the video footage so easily !!!! LOVE IT !!! Since I was last able to watch these films - my husband, Mum and Dad have passed away - so u can imagine my delight when they came back to life again - I have giggled , laughed out loud and felt quite sad and emotional all rolled into one !!So once again I want to thank you for your diligence and technical wizardry in making these wonderful memories become both accessible and a lot safer in storage on DVD I particular want to mention my excitement at seeing the footage of our time in the cabin on Pender Island again - after about 20yrs of only seeing a black screen !! What a treat - we were so sad when it "disappeared" So my children are going to be so happy with the footage of their Dad - to listen and watch him whenever they want - as he is sourly missed by them !!Equally my brother is also going to be surprised and pleased at having his own personal footage of our parents over the years !!

Warm wishes for the season’

‘Delighted with the 50 year old cine brought to life again by Andy and his superb equipment. just in time for our Xmas viewing. Would recommend him to any Facebook user as that's where I found him Last year’

‘Thank You Andy for always being so helpful. Thanks for all of your time’

‘Thank you Andy for the great service, it brought back memories from early 1960s to see my old cine films on tv. My family love them, reminders of their childhood. I know when I visit family in Australia at Christmas my grandchildren will really enjoy seeing their mom and aunts and uncles as very young children, and the life they led’

Many thanks!

‘Very impressive service. Nice work and a good price.I highly recommend Andy. It’s just great to have all the family clips in one place. Everyone should do it before they get too old to remember’

Andy transferred 38 tapes onto a single USB (MP4) stick for me and I'm absolutely delighted with the results. Great service. Results exceeded expectations. Highly recommend!

Great service and quality, I tried APG for transferring cine reels as I wasn't happy with the service from the last company I used. Andy was a pleasure to deal with and is so helpful, highly recomended.

Thank you Andy, what a wonderful trip down memory lane. Long forgotten memories captured on VHS of weddings and birthdays - seeing family no longer with us, now transferred to DVD.

Images that made me sad and happy at the same time.

What a fantastic service, quick and reliable. Thank you, once again.

‘Hi Andy. Just wanted to say thank you for doing such a good job with the films. They are marvellous and everyone has loved watching them. Very important especially for the very old member of the family. Really worth doing’. Christine N.

‘Andy is first class. Moving a video of Wycombe's past to digital’
