"Brilliant, absolutely fantastic !! As I said, I was unsure of the contents of the tape, but your transfer and the associated indexing and title pages really surpassed what I was expecting. I cannot express how happy I am with the quality of service that you have provided.

| "Dear Colin Thank you for converting my old Philips tapes onto DVDs for me and for returning the originals. For some time I had been searching for a way to preserve the hundreds of recordings I've made over the years, some of the early ones being recorded on very old Philips tapes. Although I kept the relevant machines in order to replay them, neither one is operational now unfortunately. Since Ron died, these recordings are even more precious to me as they contain so many of his words that show his passion for sport and his belief that taking part in sport has much to offer the young. His philosophy on sport and what he had to say, particularly about drugs in sport, is still relevant today and I am relieved that his words are now preserved in a more lasting format. Thank you for your help and expertise in converting the tapes for me. I hope to use the DVDs to introduce Ron to the young athletes we now help financially through the charity now set up in his memory. Hopefully they will help to explain why the Ron Pickering memorial fund has been successful in raising sufficient money to be able to help thousands of talented young athletes to take part in sport. Yours sincerely Jean Pickering" The original letter can be seen here. This was a transfer of a number of V2000 tapes to DVD for Jean Pickering, widow of the late Ron Pickering, sports commentator.

| "For over 25 years half-a-dozen video tapes laid gathering dust in the attic and, when re-discovered, the owner hoped to be able to have them transcribed. Originally recorded on a late 1970's model Philips N1500 VCR, there was no other way to have them copied than through a professional company. Initial enquiries resulted in quotations running into hundreds of pounds.
Eventually, I came across the site at www.video99.co.uk and established a dialogue with its owner, Colin McCormick .I thank God for that fortuitous meeting. As a result of Colin's determination and tenacity, together with his dogged refusal to be beaten, I now have six very precious DVD copies of the much treasured tapes, and at a very modest price, I might add! The reason they are so valued is that they contain the only comprehensive video records of the power boat racing career of my dear, late friend, Tom Percival,who was killed, whilst racing, in 1984. The original VCR's belonged to his widow ,Gilly, and she only rediscovered them when she moved house. Gilly's face was a picture to behold when I was able to present her with a set of DVD's to remind her of those happier times, accompanying Tom in his racing endeavours, all over the globe. Gilly treasures her surprise gift and her two children can now relive their dad's racing exploits. Perhaps, more importantly, her grandchildren can, for the very first time, actually see and hear the granddad they never knew, displaying his illustrious power boat racing prowess. All this is thanks to Colin McCormick at 'Video99'. " Says it all, glad to have helped. Full names used with permission. Tom Percival was a top powerboat racer. 14.12.05 |
