Pay someone to convert VHS tapes etc to something this century...

Quick Google shows quite a few companies around that offer this service, can someone here personally recommend one they used? Based in Auckland, not looking for the cheapest.

Parents are finally moving out of our family home of 35 years, there will be VHS tapes, kodak slides and a DVR machine with various home movies that would like to digitise. Realise that a good chunk of it will have already deteriorated but I would like to see what can be saved.

Monza!

My wife went to the joint in Surrey Cresent (Grey Lynn) last week.They seem to known what they are doing.

We are going back there on Friday to pick up our data - will revert on how it went.

We live in Mt Albert - potentially a beer in the mix maybe?

Can't find any business named The Joint in Grey Lynn?
I'm interested too if the price is right.

That's them. Note that access is from Great North Road, not Surrey Cres (Next to the liquor store).

Wife is going in tomorrow, will update.

Took a while for the wife to go back.

1 VHS tape (that had to be cleaned as it was old & filthy) & converted to an 8gig file - $60.

No complaint of product - buy that shit would add up.
