Quick Google shows quite a few companies around that offer this service, can someone here personally recommend one they used? Based in Auckland, not looking for the cheapest.

 

Parents are finally moving out of our family home of 35 years, there will be VHS tapes, kodak slides and a DVR machine with various home movies that would like to digitise. Realise that a good chunk of it will have already deteriorated but I would like to see what can be saved.

We used www.micrographics.co.nz thanks to another recommendation here on GZ. They have offices in Auckland, but had to ship our 8mm videos down to Wellington. Paid about $1500 for the conversion of 20 8mm tapes, total of +-1TB of data in various formats.

 

Edit: Found the thread: Recommendations for VHS to Digital conversion (ideally Christchurch based)
