Sadly I didn't read the poor reviews until after they had my cine films and were behaving appallingly.
They took twice as long to process them from what they said and then having paid they took a month to send my order back to me.
They tell lies, don't respond to emails, never call you back and often don't answer their phones.
They told me repeatedly my order had been dispatched then when it hadn't arrived, they miraculously found it still in their possession.
The quality is better than the ones I made years ago but the films do not seem to have been cleaned and are full of dust spots and other dirt flickers.
I'm not impressed and would not recommend them to others - I'm just glad to have them back in my possession
I waited for weeks, was messed about and lied to by this company. When I did finally recieve my dvds weeks after I was promised I was devastated with the appaling quality of them. The times i did manage to be in contact with them i was dealt with foul & abusive language and when I asked for a refund, the guy said what do you expect for £5 a DVD. I expect the job to be done correctly like they advertise! And not to be treated like complete and utter crap!
Can thank you enough for getting my wedding video sorted out. I thought it was lost but it looks better than I remember even before the tape snapped. I am sending my other tapes before christmas.
After trying for 8 weeks with 14 Telephone calls 4 Emails & 1Recorded letter I failed to get a single response from OntoDVD.com, yesterday I posted my review on SiteJabber and a MIRACLE happened, Callum OntoDVD's boss telephoned me and I was bombarded with a hail of abuse, threats and foul language, this was followed up with an email. He told me to take the review off the site otherwise I would get no refund and he would contact his solicitor, I pointed out that almost 50% of the reviews on his company were mirror images of my complaints against him and that people had a right to warn others of company's like his and no amount of threats would make me take the review off. I will post the results of my County Court claim as soon as the case has been heard, any other complainants should consider taking court action against him and get them shut down.
Whilst clearing the garage, I came across tapes of my kids. Went on line and found ontodvd. I took advantage of the free collection service, and the order was returned at the end of last week. My wife is over the moon at seeing the kids when they were younger. Well pleased with the service. Thanks!
We have recently had out super 8 film transferred onto DVD.
The results have been stunning with no loss of quality or colour.
A very professional service offered at a reasonable price!

Dear team,
Just like to thank you very much for the good work with my cine films.
The difference between the transfers I did years ago with a glass-screen and what I'm looking at now is unbelievable!
Very impressed considering the quality of the films weren't that good to begin with.
The good parts are nearly as good as hd dvd's!-BRILLIANT-so pleased with them.
Thank you.
Thanks guys for doing a great job fixing some and transferring the remainder of my video collection after discovering it in the garage. I found these guys after searching round my own state for someone. Great being able to show the kids some of my family and their antics!
Further to my review about ontodvd, I would like to say that I eventually received my DVDs and was very pleased with the results. I think that their problem is with customer relations. They did not return any of my phone calls as promised and few e mails, so I was in the dark as to what was happening with my films. I did require the films for a special occasion, but did not get them in time, that's what frustrated me.
I sent VHS tapes to be copied onto DVD. The results were pretty awful. I know that the quality of the VHS tapes was not good, but I didn't expect further deterioration in quality. Annoyed, I called OntoDVD to request a refund. The person I spoke too, Callum, refused and virtually accused me of wanting free DVDs, or of copying them and sending the originals back for a refund. Despite being outraged at this accusation, I reluctantly agreed to return the DVDs on the understanding that they would refund or replace them with better quality versions (if they accepted that they were not good quality) and, in any event that they would refund the postage for returning them (another £8.50). After I returned the DVDs, they allegedly recopied the tapes and sent better DVDs. The improvement was negligible! Now fed up with the fiasco, I had the tapes copied elsewhere to make sure that better quality copies were in fact possible. The versions I now have from the alternative supplier are fine. I have had no refund at all from OntoDVD, not even the additional postage cost that I was promised regardless of the outcome of my complaint. They no longer even reply to my e-mails. I would certainly not recommend this service.
Hi ontodvd,
Wonderful news! Your package arrived whilst we were at a Church Lunch today (Satuyrday), and was left at reception and we have just received it. We are thrilled. Thank you so very much!
I found Camcorder Tapes of my Children whilst moving house. I called ontodvd, and sent them the order. The staff were courteous, and gave me a number of options to send my tapes and the pricing was very competative too. I received the order today and I am delighted with my DVD's.
AWFUL SERVICE! I will not use this company ever again. I sent them two VHS tapes and one DVC, the two VHS tapes were returned with DVD copies as requested, the DVC was missing with no copy. I rang them on numerous occasions (at no time did they ever ring me) to find out what had happened to it and they were totally clueless and said all they could do was replace the cost of the blank DVC, which incidently I never received. I lost an irreplaceable video of my father.
DON'T LET THEM LOSE YOUR PRECIOUS VIDEOS.
Took my money in the form of a cheque, cashed it and then sent a PayPal payment request. My order is being withheld and 3 phone calls and empty promises have not resolved the situation. Avoid...
Did a great job transferring cine film to dvd for us. Good customer service and very quick turnaround. Recommended.

Very impressed with overall service. With very little time before Xmas I arranged for 10 S8 & some Betamax & VHS tapes to be collected and honestly did not think they would be back in time for showing to visitors over the holidays. It needed 2 phone calls but they got the DVDs back to me in time and the quality of the recording was very good (bearing in mind the age of the donor material). Recommended.
Called last Thursday with a genuine enquiry, about putting tapes onto DVD for a Christmas prezzie. Was told the pick-up would probably be Friday, and they took my name and contact number to reach me. It's now Wednesday, and I've heard nothing. So, I'm doing it myself. Sad really. Would think in this day and age, companies need word-of-mouth and sales to keep them going. Won't even waste the phonecall on them next time!
Got my order back this morning and I am delighted to see my wedding video again! Thanks...
Posted off some video tapes last week and they arrived back all neatly packed with a nice picture on the front cover. My mum and nan loved them. Thanks.
Just to say I received my DVDs back on Saturday morning. Great Job, Great price and great service thanks guys!
