Experience has taught us the best way to get your videotapes onto DVD.
We are committed to give you the best transfer at the best price.
Why should you transfer your videos?

Why choose Blue Ribbon to transfer your videos?
- We use the best source decks to play your videos.

- We can save to an external hard drive.

What is the finished product?
You will receive a dvd with up to 4 hours of video per dvd. The dvd will be printed black on silver with your information on the dvd. We will maintain a backup copy on site at no extra charge.

$19.95 for each 4 hour master DVD with a $5.00 tape change after the first tape for every tape that will fit on that DVD.

Video comes in many different formats these days. Whether you have VHS, 8mm, Hi 8, Digital 8, mini DV or hard disk, our expert techs can help you make the best decision for its transfer.

We can help.Want to put your video on YouTube? We can compress your video to make that easier.
Spurious Materials- If you give us the “no spurious material” mandate, we won’t transfer such as things as tv shows or other material you categorically identify BEFORE transfer.
We can print on your DVD in color with any image, even one from the transfer. See Packaging.
