Thanks for sharing your Legacy Box experience, THF! I've got 10 VHS videos I want to have converted, but would like to understand more about the conversion process, risk(s), processing time, etc - and your KZitem helped greatly in this regard.

If you haven't ordered yet, check out other videos about their quality etc. I already ordered and have the box unfortunately.

I CHARGED BACK for all my money - Legacy Box didn't even respond to my complaint. So I got all my money back after waiting 3 weeks.

That's lucky, in some cases Legacy Box will fight the banks to keep the money and screw over their customer.

My adult daughter recommended Legacy because she sent off lots of videos and had them converted to a digital format then uploaded them to a private KZitem channel. I have really enjoyed watching the videos. She convinced me to do the same. I'm not at all tech savvy but requested my videos, including some 35mm films, to be returned in the same format. IF it all works out, I'll be able to declutter a few Rubbermaid totes full of VHS tapes PLUS an old TV that had the built-in VHS player. Anyone remember those? LOL

@@itsfotoula My experience with Legacy box went great. The only thing I would do differently would be to pay the extra $ to have the videos put on a thumb drive for me, instead of them being stored on Legacy's website and me having to download them myself and then putting them on a thumb drive. That was my mistake. I would highly recommend Legacy box. 🙂

Glad everything turned out good. I've been digitizing old concerts I recorded on VHS and 8mm, and uploading to my YoutTube channel. My 8mm camcorder stopped working, so I was thinking of figuring out how many more 8mm tapes I have to go through and see if it's cheaper to do this method or maybe get an old working 8mm camcorder off ebay and finish up.

Vwestlife had pretty opposite experience with this service. It might be better to do it yourself if you have playback equipment still working and cheap analog video capture device with decent chipset.

After trying the service, I think I would do it myself if I had the equipment. Legacy Box offered nothing other than the transfer to digital. They did not cleanup. The main reason I used them was that I had some PAL format tapes that I needed converted and I didn't have access to any PAL equipment.

@@thistlehillfarmstead9131 don't trow away the tape they said is unreadable. I have never used Legacy Box, but a youtuber I follow, Phil from GotMemories (a film conversion place in Phoenix) has reviewed legacy box. Often the red stickers are due to worn out and dirty machines at legacy box, and not due to a problem with the tape, so another place might be able to convert that tape
