Subject: Baaby Boomer Bell Curve Your transfers, mymusic video

Dear Eugene,

Enclosed please find a data DVD with the captioned video in standard DV-AVI format and also in MJPEG-AVI QVGA-sized format. Feel free to post these in your media gallery.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the tremendous contribution that DTS’ transfers made to the making of the video. An important part of the story telling depended upon visual transitions between then (the 1970s) and now. The crisp detail of the original films both 16mm and Super 8MM, B&W and color was preserved in the transfers and made it all possible.

Please note: There are four shots which did NOT come directly from the film source and which were not transferred by DTS:

Three shots were where I had a beard two color, one black & white and one color shot where I’m wearing a blue football jersey. These were taken from a VHS source and were transferred in the early 90s from Super 8MM.

Also note, in some cases, I’ve digitally zoomed in on some of the shots. So, the images are somewhat softer than the original transfer. However, I think your clientele will be favorably impressed overall. I know I am.

Thanks again to you and Anna and all the folks at DTS. I’ll be rummaging through my closet again to find some more old footage soon.

In the meantime, all the best.

Regards,

Andy Baum
Brooklyn, NY

Below is just another small sampling of the thousands of letters we get from our satisfied customers:

Hello,
I was finally able to watch the film transfer that you did for us. Interesting stuff.
Thank you for all of your help again. I like knowing I can send film out to you and know that I don’t have to worry about whether or not I will be pleased. I always am.
Many Thanks!

Dear Digital Transfer Systems,

Thanks for the quick turnaround on the HD FBF conversion of my 16mm films from the 20s, 30s and 40s. I looked at the results closely and am very satisfied with the quality. They are definitely suitable for archiving these historical films. I especially appreciate the ability to grab a single frame without seeing interlacing or interpolation artifacts and create online images or prints.

As you know I tried several local and nationally-advertised conversion companies only to be disappointed with either the quality of the conversion or the carelessness of the handling of the films or both. I had some of my films damaged and wasted well over $2,000 in conversions before I found your company.

I would definitely recommend your service.

As soon as I finish documenting and archiving the conversions I will send in the next batch. We still have several thousand feet that need to be converted and given the lower price of the HD FBF process I may have you re-do some of the footage that was done by the "other" HD FBF company in Arizona.

Thank you.

John D., AZ

Just got the movies up on my computer. Once again, you've done an incredible job. I only wish I had more of these treasures for you to do for me. I can't thank you enough for rescuing these films and putting them in a format that will enable me to share them with my family. With some editing and music behind it, it will be the perfect gift for my mom's 80th birthday. THANK YOU!!!

Leslie Barr, CA

Just wanted to let you know how very special you made Christmas for our family. Within our extended family our old movies had been misplaced. After my children's father passed away their stepmother found them. I went to a local company to have them transferred but it was much, much more than I could afford, at least 4 times the cost of DTS. I found your site on the Internet, and to be quite frank, was nervous about mailing our precious possession but was assured by a phone call to you that it would be fine. AND IT WAS ! I gave the kids the DVD for Christmas and we watched it on Christmas Day. As usual, I got a little anxious before Christmas and called to inquire on order, leaving a message. Someone called me back within the hour. I am passing your information on to friends and I'm highly recommending you for transfer of those irreplacable treasures. God bless you and your employees at Digital Transfer Systems !

Sally Hicks, NY

Super efficient reliable service, I will recommend to all. I received the transfer and it was done really well. Keep up the good work.

Narayan, Elkins, WV

Great service, quick response of misunderstanding, went beyond required product content.

Kevin, Carol Stream, IL

Just wanted you to know I received the tapes and DVD yesterday. THEY'RE PERFECT thank you! (although I wish I had been a better video-taper...I think I got seasick trying to find my dolphins!!) That was very quick and thank you very much. Rest assured I will do this again, as I have many memories I would like to preserve. And I will pass on your name and reputation to my friends and relatives! This is a perfect holiday gift for your loved ones! Thanks again for a terrific job!

Didi, Delano, CA

The reunion went so well, the DVD of course was one of the highlights. It raised so many questions that we are all very curious about our ancestors now. I would like to thank you for the great transfer of my film to DVD and will be recommending your services all over the world.

Richard, Washington, DC.

Your work was great. I'm so pleased with the outcome and will be bragging
about your work for sometime to come. Thanks for taking the time to reasure
me that the film would be safe and secure. The results turned out to be more
then I could ever hope for. Thanks again.

Donald, Florida

Eugene, I received the DVDs today, everything looks good.
Thanks for the unexpected VHS tape.
Happy Holidays!

Gerald , Tennessee

Thanks so much! They are wonderful. My parents loved them and they will
probably be getting the rest of their films done with you soon.
Again, thanks for everything.

Keflin

I just want to say how happy I am with this whole project! You treated these irreplaceable memories with great care and professionalism. Thank you for a wonderful job. Now my children and their children will have these mementos as well! I plan on recommending you to many people! Hope you can stand the business! Have a very Merry Christmas, these dvd's will help mine! Much thanks and again, GREAT JOB!

Scott, Maryland

Received the dvd on time. Thanks for the quick shipping You did a great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Again

Robert, California

Eugene,
Thank you, the dvd's look really cool. I have just previewed one and they are great! I wanted to say that I have enjoyed working with you and I wish there was a way on Ebay to give you praise. (I found you there). Thanks and I will drop you a line when I receive the originals. I know that these took some serious time and appreciate the effort.

John, Colorado

Yeah, its a great job - thanks. The film was shot in '74 and never viewed until now, so it will be a hoot. I appreciate your timely return. Have a great year.

Orville, California

I was quite satisfied with your work (see below) and am considering converting
25-30 additional tapes. Would there be a price break with such a quanitity?

Brad, Illinois

Hi there -
I just received my transferred tapes - thank you very much. I would like to send you a few more but could you give me a little more information on the pricing now that I know that my damaged tapes are beyond repair. Now I understand more what the editing means which by the way, is very nice. Thanks!

Anna, New York

Hi Dear Sir
Received my film and DVD's back today. Thank you for re-doing them. They are just what I wanted.
My children will really enjoy them. Thank you again for all you great effort.

Mary, California

Dear Sir,
The transfer look great, thanks. It is really amazing to see pictures of my
parents 40-50 years ago!

Callan , Meryland

Got the finished product back in the mail. Thanks for your prompt and professional service! I will recommend you to others and use you for future transfer work.

Brant, California

Dear Sir,

I received the film, tapes, and DVDs today. I have done a quick pass through the DVDs and everything looks good. As can be expected some sections are better quality than others. But I am very pleased with the outcome and I can now pass this on to my brother so that we can edit it.

Thanks again for all your efforts and consideration on getting this accomplished for me. I now feel more comfortable that we have this captured in a version that we can archive.

Regards.

David, Indiana

I would like to thank Digital Transfer Systems
For a very nice job on transferring my dad's
Home movies to DVD. Beautiful job. Thanks again

John, Virginia

Dear Sir,

I just received my order. Thank you very much for the quick turnaround. I
will be sending you some more things to copy next month.

Thanks again.

Scott, Missouri

Reviewed the DVD yesterday and it was very nicely done. Many thanks. Only question I have is the name of the artist for the background music. Thanks

David, Illinois

Thank you so much for the recent work you did for us in transferring
our Super8mm reel to digital format.

The transfer quality is the best I've ever personally seen.

My father wanted to have a college reunion and this old film was a
reason for him to get everyone back together. Thanks again for the
service.

Daniel, Kansas

Dear people at DTS:

Thanks so much for the great job you did on tranferring the 16mm and 8mm home movies to DVD.
We are very pleased with the DVD's.

Now if only all parents would have been required to take classes on proper filming tecniques (starting in the 1950's) :-)

Thanks again.

Chris, Georgia

I received my package and am absolutely delighted with. I need to recoup a
little of the expense but I will definitely be sending you the rest of them.
Absolutely delighted. My mom is going to be SO thrilled. You will have
truly helped with the week end ,my sisters and I have planned for Mom.
Thank you so much.

Lina, Wisconsin

I recently sent some 16mm to have your company transfer to DVD.
While I was skeptical with the shipping of the product, and the tight timeframe, you more than exceeded my expectations.
Not only with the quality of the product, but the cost and turnaround time.
Thank you very much for your outstanding service and product.
I would absolutely refer you to anyone needing your type of service in the future.
Have a great holiday.

Michael , Meryland

Hi Dear Sir,
Just wanted to let you know that the DVD and 8mm films arrived today, safe and sound.
The DVD came out WONDERFULLY, and I am VERY pleased. !!!
Sometime after the holidays, I shall be sending you some more 8mm reels.
Until then, thanks SO MUCH again.
And HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Eric, New Hampshire

Dear Sir-

Thank you for the excellent turnaround time on converting my 79 Super 8 video reels.
I wasn't expecting my video for several months and the whole thing was at my doorstep less than a week after I sent the reels to you!

I am cutting out the unfocused and blank sections using the loaner hard drive in an effort to fit the good video on my local hard drive for future editing. I should have the hard drive back to you in a week or so.

Thanks again for the fast and excellent service.

Eric , Alabama

Dear Sir,
I tried all combinations using the firewire but no luck.
I then removed the IDE drive and put it in by HD Bay and it worked fine.
So tonight I will make a backup. Thanks for all of you help.
I looked at a few minutes of each file and they look very good.
I hadn't seen these movies in years but the one I remember looks better than it did on the screen.
It will be a while before I splice together some small reels.

Thanks

Dennis, Oregon

Thanks for the great DVD of my old 8mm movies.
You did a better job than I thought possible.
I will recommend you to my friends and am sure to use your services again soon.

David , California

Hi Dear Sir - Thank you for doing such an excellent job on the WWI movie that you returned to me last week.
I sent it to my grandfather and he was thrilled to see it preserved and amazed how much easier it is to watch than threading his ancient 16mm projector!

Anyway, I sent out 2 more movies yesterday. One is on a 13-14" reel and the other is around 10".
I was wondering if you could please give me a call before processing them so I can tell him how much they are going to cost.
I definitely want them done, but I know it's going to be a lot of money so I want to warn him up front.

Thanks again,

Eric, New York

THANK YOU for such fast service - I received my DVD yesterday and am thrilled with it.
That 8mm movie was the only one I have from my childhood - the rest were destroyed in a house fire.

Thanks again!

Cathy , Minesota

We viewed the converted home movies last night.
Just wanted to let you know that the quality of the conversion is absolutely outstanding!
You did a magnificent job!

Thanks a lot for a truly superb conversion.

Carl , Florida

I was so pleased to get my DVD two days ago and find all my movies transferred and in the order that I labled them! I will probably soon send my family's precious reels our mom made over the past century, so that all 6 of us and our children and their children can always have access to these historical family archives.
I actually have a video transfer device for my computer, but it doesn't compare to your final product. Thank you so much!
I noted that splicing is included in your cost. This is very comforting because some of my mom's movies were spliced with adhesive tape as she was a nurse in the second world war.

Laura, New Jersey

Thankyou for a magnificent job on my old movies! It was a perfect solution to digitize them onto a free-standing hard drive. I shall be contacting you about the next installment.

Kenneth, Oregon

Thank You.
You did a very professional job.
I created a simple test DVD last night to see how the transfer looks on a TV, and it looks great.

Thanks again!

Jim, ??

I'm very pleased with the dvd - thank you. will recommend you and will
probably use your services again!

Milly, Virginia

Dear Sir,

The disc arrived the other day.
Your company did a great job, and I'm very pleased with the result.
I have another old film I'll be sending to you as well in the next few weeks.
Also, I work at Fortune magazine (part of Time Inc./AOL Time Warner),
and I will make sure everyone here knows about what great work you did,
so that if anyone has a project of this sort they can send it your way.

Regards.
