What started as a small, family-run operation has now grown into a trusted name in the San Diego area and beyond. Our business was born out of a love for preserving memories, and over the years, we have developed an unparalleled level of expertise in converting all types of physical media into digital formats.

We only use professional-grade, 100-year-rated DVDs to ensure that your memories are preserved for generations.

Meet the Business Owner

Hello, I’m John G., and I have the honor of owning and operating Video to DVD today. My father, Ken Gibbings, founded this business in 1985, and it’s been a true privilege to continue the work he started. Growing up, I learned everything I know about the video business by working alongside him. His teachings went beyond technical skills—he instilled in me the value of putting the customer first. His belief was simple: when we prioritize our customers, the business will thrive.

I have always felt a deep sense of pride in the work we do here. We don’t just preserve media; we preserve memories. Our customers trust us with their most precious family moments, and we take that responsibility very seriously. With over 35 years of combined experience in the business, we’ve seen it all, from rare film formats to outdated video tapes. No matter what the medium, we’re always ready to help transform those memories into something timeless.
