Arizona Media Service (AMS) is a family owned and operated small business.  We have over 50 years of experience in the motion picture and video industry under our belts and our clientele included anything from STAR networks to HBO to NOVA and Barry Goldwater's 16mm movie films from the Arizona Historical Society, just to name a few. We are making our stellar services available to the regular consumer and want to give back to the community - give back to the consumer, by offering a digitizing service with a quality that is just known to movie studios and big budget production houses....all this at a price that is affordable and will carry your memories into the next generation and beyond.  

What makes AMS so different?  Our company has invested several hundred thousand Dollars into vintage equipment and have restored and maintained obsolete machines since the early 70's.  We are not a cookie-cutter operation, nor do we claim to have 500 machines or 200 technicians working to digitize tapes or films...we are different, because we are straight forward, down to earth and we care about your captured memories.  Furthermore:  you do not have to pay anything until we start the digitizing process, which starts with a phone call to you, verifying amount and work scope of your order AFTER we have received it.  We may not know you personally, but we certainly will handle your vintage material as if it is our own families'. Every frame of your precious film or video will be captured and digitized with the most advanced equipment available. Celluloid film with PIKE and RED cameras and ZEISS lenses, magnetic video tapes with firewire connections and audio cassettes, vinyl recordings and magnetic or wire audio recordings with TASCAM, FOSTEX or STUDER audio mastering devices. The quality is unmatched and we want to invite you to give us a try right here! For the ending 2025 and beginning 2026 years, we have divided the year in three sections:
