** 2024 Changes to Consumer Conversion Services **
- - -
All Professional Production Services Remain Available
Personal and Family Production Services have replaced
Consumer Conversion Services.
The methods we employ to do Media Conversion is still the same.
Our emphasis is still on doing the job right - Quality First!
Ok, so; What the heck is going to be different?
"Stand Alone" Consumer Media Conversions are no longer available.Consumer Conversion of Videotapes, Film, Slides, Pics and all Media
will only be accepted as part of a larger project.
Our response to requests for Personal and Family Productions
will take 10 days or more.
Consumer Projects will be done when we can make time for them.
We will not provide expected turn around times.
So Plan Ahead and Expect at least a Six Month Turn Around Time.
All Orders are subject to a Project Minimum Charge of $1,500.00
Some services are discontinued and more services will be.
All prices are higher than last year!
You will be required to do more preparation work to bring your order in.
We will refuse any order for any reason.
The main reason we might refuse an order is your inability,
or unwillingness, to follow our process.
If you are unable to follow our process and need more hands on assistance
you should find a friend or family member to help you.
The second most likely reason is that you are too pushy.
If you believe "you are the consumer/customer" and "it's your right"
to "demand" what you expect from us,
you are welcome to find another service provider that agrees with you.

We have discontinued "Stand Alone" Consumer Conversion services!
So if you have a videotape (or a bunch of videotapes) you just want converted
to something more modern, we no longer provide that service 'by itself'.
as part of a Production Project like a Family History or Biography.
We are not answering phones or returning calls for Consumer Conversion Services.
Go to the Contact Page for a Link to Email us.
You must be very specific about your project requirements.Vaguely stated requests will not get a response.. = = =
Many Thanks to all the Wonderful Consumer Customers we served
for over the past 35 years! Your Support was Appreciated!
I get it! You are dissappointed you missed your opportunity.
It's unfortunate you waited this long to do your conversions!
We provided these services 'open to the public' for nearly 40 years and now the demand for services is too low to justify the time and
effort required to do the job properly in every respect.
- - -
The Cost of Doing Business has climbed Too High to both;
Do The Job Right in Every Way!
and
Provide a Standard Retail Experience.
- -
We will not compromise the Quality of Our Work,
so we will only do projects that can afford the cost of what we do!
- - -
'Open to the Public' Hours of Operation Are Gone!
Saturday, Sunday & Monday - CLOSED
Tuesday to Thursday - 9 am to 4 pm
Friday is Reserved for Work Only. No Appointments.

Will Video be beneficial to your business?
Misconceptions about Video.
First: 'Everyone needs video'.
Next: just having video increases exposure, sales, SEO!?!?
'Anyone can make a video' might be true in the sense that we can all point and click record.
Believing that's all it takes for an effective video presentation is one of the most popular and incorrect beliefs. And now of course there is that great and wonderful "Artificial" entity that offers to do it for you! Key word - "Artificial".
Call us if you want to build a video that works.
Video Productions that Matter
And We Do Much, Much More...
Professional Blu-ray and DVD Authoring
DVD and Blu-ray Authoring are extensive processes that require multiple stages starting at Program Design with the objective to create an enjoyable and informative Viewer Experience.
DVD Authoring by The VideoGuy Inc.
TV for Internet Production
The world of Content Delivery is changing and many opportunities now exist for Television style programming to be delivered to focused viewing audiences by the internet.
Are your customers artificial? Do they deserve real or artificial messages?
TV Shows for Internet
Websites
Websites have become yet another Media Carrier for the content we create. So our evolution into Websites is a natural extension of what we do. Kind of like adding a new kind of truck to the fleet we use for delivery. But this truck is very specialized and requires a good knowledge of Communications to ensure the delivery happens correctly. It's iportant that your message is properly packaged so it doesn't end up scattered all over the web and missing the intended delivery point.
Are you a Real Business looking to deal with Real Customers?
Should you trust your messaging to an entity that boldly declares it is "Artificial"?
If your customers don't matter to you, then yes, go ahead and use fast, cheap and artificial.<br>
If your customers matter to you, invest the time and create messaging that works.
The VideoGuy Inc. - We are Real We are Experienced and We Can Deliver Your Message.
