    Why Us Our Story  
    General Questions
  • Why use Southtree?

    At Southtree, we use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to digitize and transfer your old home videos and photos to DVD. With nearly a decade of experience digitizing old media, we breath new life into your memories, providing enjoyment for generations. There are no hidden fees, simply all the features that our customers deserve and want.

  • Why digitize?

    Assuming your VCR hasn't already "eaten" them, the average lifespan of your home videotapes (VHS, etc...) is only 15 years! Slides begin to degrade at around 20 years.

    If you're like most people, your family history is tucked away in an attic somewhere. Most people are surprised at the degradation that has already occured when they finally decide to look at them again. In steps Southtree - we convert all your home movies and photos to digital, preserving them for generations to come.

  • How does it work?

    We've broken down our process into 3 easy steps...

    1.) Get Started - Order online, using our Easy Order Form, or call us at 866.645.3358.

    2.) Send In Your Order - Send in your home movies and photos to our secure processing facility. With our Order Tracking, we'll let you know as soon as they arrive!

    3.) We'll Do The Rest! - Our team will professionally digitize your old media, place them on custom printed DVDs, and return the entire order (including your originals) back.
