Scott FosterFounder, Legacy Digital Productions
Meet Scott
Scott founded Legacy Digital Productions in 2001 to offer the highest quality transfers that families could still afford. He has personally served nearly 20,000 clients since.
He is still very much part of the work. If you live in Southern California, there is a good chance you will meet him, because he often picks up film, tapes, slides, and photos from clients himself. He takes calls himself too, evenings included, and he will tell you honestly what makes sense for your memories, even when that is not us.
When you convert analog media to digital, you only want to do it once. That is why we keep investing in our equipment, and why we have always put quality ahead of the cheapest price.
How We Work
Big-volume services box up your memories with other jobs and ship them out for processing. We do the opposite.
Everything stays in our hands
Your memories never leave our studio from the day they arrive until they come home. Nothing is subcontracted and nothing goes overseas.
Never lost an item
More than 1,000,000 reels of film and millions of individual items, and not one lost.
Kept the way you sent it
Every item is inventoried and labeled when it arrives, and your files come back organized the way you sent them.
Trusted by Hollywood and by Archives
Hollywood studios and executives trust us with their film, including the makers of the Steven Spielberg documentary, who entrusted us with reels from Mr. Spielberg’s early career, the makers of Netflix’s Lucy and Desi, and Sumner Redstone’s personal archive.
We also digitize collections for universities, libraries, schools, and municipalities.

What Our Customers Say
Highly Recommended! Scott was a pleasure to work with. He cheerfully digitized 4300 family slides and photos stuck to pages in albums plus a family musical photo VHS video. He arranged them by event and year, on flash drives for our Trust Beneficiaries and I am pleased to say they all came out beautifully! I recommend using Scott and Legacy Digital Productions for preserving your family photo memo…
Worth the Drive! Exceptional Archival Quality and Service I highly recommend Scott Foster and the team at Legacy Digital Productions. I chose to rent a car and drive out to their Orange County lab based on strong recommendations rather than using a local option, and it was absolutely worth it. What I Liked: Outstanding Quality: The scans of my 400 Kodachrome slides (from 1979) came out completely…
I had hundreds of feet of Super 8 film converted to digital by Legacy Digital and couldn't be happier. Scott, the owner, really knows his stuff, and the whole staff was exceptionally kind to work with. The transfers came out great — clearly a trusted source for this kind of work. I'll be back soon to get a batch of VHS tapes converted too."
Our Satisfaction Guarantee
We stand behind every transfer we perform. If you're unhappy with the quality of our work, we'll make every reasonable effort to make it right, at no additional charge. And if another professional service can produce a visibly better transfer from the same originals, we'll match their quality or refund what you paid us for the affected transfer.
