I used David Blair recently to get my caribou footage from 07 onto DVD and then edited down to under an hour. He did an outstanding job and was great to work with. Consider that we never have laid eyes on one another and I'm in NC and he's in CA! I would recommend him highly!
If you have memories that you want to keep alive for a lifetime and can afford it, you are money ahead to send your footage to a someone that knows what they are doing
