San Diego Audio Video

Have used this company twice, once for 8 mm film to DVD conversion, and once for VHS to DVD conversion.
Very friendly and professional folks, I would not hesitate to use them again.

Ryan filmed our wedding day from getting ready, to the wedding ceremony, to the reception. The highlight video he put together is nothing less than perfectly amazing. Ryan was very responsive while we were still planning our wedding and answered all of our questions. He was so polite and kind throughout the wedding day and blended in with the fun our guests had. We are so happy we decided to have a videographer for our wedding day and are so pleased with the quality of the footage. These memories are so special and we are happy to carry them with us!
Last minute, my husband and I decided we wanted a spanish guitar player during our cocktail hour. Ryan recommended Mario Olivares who was incredible! Mario was amazing! Not only are we extremely thankful for the videography from Ryan, but also his recommendations for other parts of our wedding day to make it extremely special.

San Diego Audio Video offers the highest quality video editing and duplication services in town. Their prices are reasonable and their work is exceptional! Ryan, Karima, Dave, and the rest of the gang are great!

These guys are great! This was my second time using their services and I am so happy. They salvaged an old cassette that had the voices of my children on it, obviously of great sentimental value. When I played the cassette I broke it and it was not the easy kind to fix (no screws). At a very reasonable cost and short turnaround time I had my tape back, in great shape and in a new case. The first time I used them they turned a mix tape into a great cd for us. This is the only place I would ever go!

I had a great experience with the team at SDAV. I needed 160 DVD’s burned, stamped and placed in white envelopes with a same day turnaround. I called the day before I brought in the master DVD to see if they could do a fast turnaround and they committed to getting the project completed. Ryan and team lived up to their verbal agreement and I had the DVD’s right on time!
I would highly recommend SDAV! I definitely plan to go back to them for future mass DVD burning needs.

I can’t say enough great things about Ryan and his crew! My good friend, Penney, used them to film her wedding, and after watching her video, and realizing that SDAV had completely captured all of the amazing aspects of her day, I quickly contacted them to film my wedding. From the start, Ryan was easy to work with; he was always on top of things and he responded promptly to calls and emails. By the end, I felt like I was communicating with a friend, not just a vendor that I had hired to film my wedding.
On the day of our wedding, the two man SDAV crew of Will and Jerry were there. They were both punctual and a pleasure to work with throughout the day. Since Will was dispatched to the ladies, I spent a little more time with him, and he was so easy going and it was nice to have him around (even though he was really good at being there but going relatively unnoticed). And after the wedding, my husband and I were talking about the day, and he said the same great things about his experience with working closely with Jerry. Like Ryan, within a short period of time, it felt like Will and Jerry were friends who just happened to be filming our wedding.
We can’t wait to see our wedding video because we know that the SDAV guys will create something special that we’ll cherish for years to come. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else capture one of the best days of my life!

Ryan Norr is amazing! He filmed our wedding and also did a same day edit (SDE), which was awesome! All of our guests loved seeing the SDE at the reception. Especially those who were unable to attend the wedding ceremony. I was shocked at how they were able to put together a 5 minute video so fast! It was such a pleasure working with him. He is so nice, personable, easy to work with, knowledgable, organized, and prompt. I really appreciated that he would answer all my email questions with a prompt response. Also, his prices are very reasonable for the service he provides. Him and his team were really good at not being so noticeable throughout the whole wedding. I told him that I don’t even remember seeing his assistants the whole time. LOL. I strongly recommend Ryan to be your videographer!

We rented 3 piece lighting and a high end microphone to film a corporate presentation. Staff was extremely help in providing tips for an inexperience video producer. The audio quality of the video turned out crystal clear. Thanks for the help.

These guys are truly awesome. We had a last minute need for a podium and equipment for a press conference, and they pulled through for us with everything we needed and then some. Can’t thank Dave and the team enough for everything they do. Professional, prompt, quality service.

Worst customer service I have ever seen. I went in with my friend to have two VHS tapes transferred to DVD. On the phone the man said that he could apply the coupon that you have to PAY for here on Unilocal with another special they have going. When we get to the store the woman behind the counter gives us attitude and tells us that we cannot apply the coupon to the other promotion they have going. She is rude and had a completely uncalled for attitude. My friend asked to see the person that she talked to on the phone. The woman called him and he said the same thing she did about the coupon. He came up to the front and was equally rude. The woman, whose name we never even got, continued to be rude and even went as far as saying something about my friend being stupid for not knowing that she couldn’t apply the coupon to the other special. This understandably got my friend highly upset and a back and forth battle of words ensued. The man that came up from the back put and end to it and was helping my friend with the issue, respectfully. Everything was fine until the woman said «I can’t believe how rude people can be» as she was walking away. At this point my friend had had enough and asked for her money back. We took our business elsewhere. I would have given them 0 stars if I could. For the people that work at this place, a word of advice: Fire that woman or at least suspend her for a while. If you want your customers to have a good experience with your company, you never call them stupid or allow your employees to berate customers like that. I would never recommend this place to anybody unless they enjoy being treated like garbage. We’re not the first people to have such a negative experience here either.

honest, prompt and pleasant
we use this business to enhance ours
their trust-​worthiness is worth 5 starts and repeated business!

I recently had a VHS tape of old home movies transferred to DVD then had multiple copies made. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the service. From my first phone call through the final product, everyone was professional, friendly and very helpful. I was able to see the conversion before the multiple copies were made. Delivery was faster than promised. Prices were reasonable and I was able to use a Unilocal special. I highly recommend SDAV and definitely plan to use their services again.

SDAV was AWESOME!!! I was visiting San Diego for a convention. We arrived and our DVD was not working. I sent SDAV (Ryan) a link to multiple videos that they mashed together and formatted on a DVD. All was done within 2 hours and delivered in my hands at the hotel… I would highly recommend their services. I will use them in the future for any AV needs!

Used SDAV for some rentals and was pleased from the very first phone call I made. So pleased I actually never called anywhere else to even get quotes. Everything was very easy and inexpensive. Very friendly, happy, attentative staff. Thank you!

Ryan Norr is simply superb, professional and amazing. Our wedding videography was filmed and produced by Ryan. My wife and I choose to use San Diego Audio Video and Ryan to film our special wedding day on 12−12−12. After an initial meeting and a little Q & A, he had a good idea of the film highlights we wanted to capture on our special day. He was really relaxed about the whole situation and made us feel extremely comfortable.
On our wedding day we all met at the La Jolla Cove, the location we choose to have our photographs taken. This is where Ryan really got to work and in the best way possible because he was so out of the way, I don’t even remember him there, which is a great feeling as being filmed can sometimes not be the most comfortable feeling. My wife and I were busy working with the photographer and after viewing our video you can tell he was very much capturing every beautiful moment and we didn’t even know it at the time!
When it came to our ceremony and reception he delivered on everything we talked about in our initial meeting and more! The video detail is just hands down professional, and the song he choose fit so perfectly. I can’t begin to thank Ryan as wedding pictures are one thing, but his video brought our wedding day back to life and so many moments you just do not remember because of all the little things going on around you on a day that is so detail oriented. I just couldn’t imagine anyone not having a video of their wedding in this day in age to go along with wedding photos. It is a must have, and again I highly recommend Ryan Norr for any wedding or event you may have, he captured our most special day in a way you just can’t describe in words. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Really stellar service. Had several VHS tapes transferred to DVD. Sheri, the owner was a doll and took my Groupon and applied it to all my tapes, even though it was only good for two tapes.
When I watched my DVD’s at home they were awesome. They even printed whatever was written on my VHS boxes onto my DVD’s without asking them to. I had forgotten about that, but they didn’t.
I could swear there was no music on some old family movie tapes, but I guess they added music to them and it made it great!
I would come back here to make CD’s of my band, as they get great reviews for that too.

SO this place makes copies of DVDs and makes the art and designs for them as well. Good place to bring your stuff to make copies of. I had a slight issue with a few DVDs not burning correctly with a 200 DVD order, but my smaller 3 DVD order was fine. Cool people. Friendly and fast. I like the other businesses there too. I want to walk in there and learn more about media. Oh ya.

I must say great all the way around. My first CD project was pulled off fairly effortlessly with the help of sdav. Ryan Knorr helped me out and gave me what I asked for super fast. Very happy and will be returning.

I recently recorded a new album and wanted to get some copies replicated to have available for sale at shows. I tried looking at the some of the «bigger» companies like Discmakers and Diskfactory who boast of the best prices but when you factor in the costs of shipping they are really about the same.
I live in San Diego so I decided to go to SDAV because I wanted the piece of mind of being able to stop by the business as needed to take care of things. I wanted to be able to see my project along the way rather than sending my hard work off to some place across the country and not be able to verify anything until it came shipped to me.
Like Bridgette Z. mentioned in her review, I was fortunate enough to work with Ryan and he was definitely a pro. He asked asked all the proper questions and provided graphic templates to help me get the project started and answered all of my questions along the way as well.
The CD’s were replicated and packaged and look excellent. Of course, a lot of it has to do with the design, but still, the quality of the materials is obviously that of a CD you would purchase an any retail location.
I would definitely recommend this place to someone interested in replicating a music project.

My husband completed the recording and mastering of his CD last year, but we were having a tough time finding a company that could provide the level of hand-​holding that we needed since we hadn’t done a CD in awhile. We didn’t want to send it to some huge factory in New Jersey or even have it lost in the shuffle up in Hollywood, so we started to look locally where we could actually talk to someone face to face.
We needed a company that could provide replication services as well as graphic design help. We came across SDAV through a Web search, and they appeared to offer both the CD replication and the graphic design assistance that we needed. They also offered a very specific DigiPak layout that my husband wanted, so we decided to move forward with them.
Throughout the process, Ryan (the project manager) kept us posted on the progress of the CD and its status. Jon (the graphic designer) offered many options and suggestions to enhance what we already had in mind.
Although there were a few miscommunications and delays along the way (which is to be expected), we were extremely pleased with the end result. We would highly recommend SDAV as an excellent way to get a high-​quality product with local help. Why send your creative project away to New Jersey when you can have it done just as professionally in San Diego?
