"Shipment came quickly. Zero padding in the shipment, so all the plastic teeth had broken on the cases. Quality of transfers seems barely above 720p. Horrible digitizing - absolutely NOT from original sources. On the Scopitones disc - you'd think you'd break the chapter breaks between the songs, right? Nope, they just land in the middle of songs at random."
"I've been a customer since the 1990s. Several times I've asked if they could track down a "lost" film. They just contacted me because the found the rare teleplay I've been looking for...for decades. THANK YOU! Another rare film is now in my library. Thanks again."
"For years I've been looking for a movie I saw when I was a kid. I didn't remember the title so I described the plot to the folks at Video Beat and they narrowed it down to a couple of films. After a couple of emails with screenshots I realized they had my movie! I ordered and received quickly. The quality is wonderful and I'm very happy. Thanks guys! A+ "
"Sells bootleg DVDs of rare movies, rock concerts, TV shows from 1950s and 60s that are not available commercially. You will receive the product if you order from them and shipping is fast. Owner "Chas"/"Chuck" claims he'll replace defective DVDs--a "lifetime guarantee." However, there's now some conditions he's added since I first ordered from him: after 12 months, if any of their DVDs fail, you have to buy a new DVD at full price (no discounts) in order to receive a replacement for your defective DVD. Great to find such rare movies and you'll receive them, but if something goes wrong after the one year mark, the owner is not pleasant to deal with, plus you'll still have to make a full-priced purchase before getting your replacement DVD. Had to contact him several times about getting a replacement--doesn't respond quickly to emails. Questionable quality of DVDs used to make copies since some of mine have stopped working. Expensive; prices usually start at $19.99 (with a 10% discount code that's offered immediately.) Even with his discounts, his bootleg DVDs end up being more than most commercial DVDs on available Amazon. Customer service is poor if something goes wrong--Chas does not handle complaints in a professional manner--gets very defensive and sounds rude in his emails. Purchase at your own risk."
"For many years I seached for an old movie (Lollipop Cover) that I remember seeing as a kid. Eventually, I gave up. Amazingly, my sister found it at Video Beat. I contacted them to ask if it was really true. Yes, it is! Thank you Video Beat for the very good, and fast, service. What a wonderful film. I just searched your site and found another movie I've been wanting to see forever. Just placed my order. Thanks again."
"Received movie today. Arrived far quicker than I expected. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for great service. "
"Many thanks to Video Beat for the replacement which arrived safely today and works perfectly. (And, thank you for paying return shipping). Congratulations for providing excellent service to a picky person. Will buy again. "
"Ordered dvd to replace 30 year old home VHS. DVD looked like a bad bootleg of my ancient VHS. Quality and packaging lead me to believe this is an illegally pirated product. My first and last order from Video Beat. Also very difficult to post a review."
"My sister surprised me with 5 dvds from Video Beat. There are all mid 1960s youth music TV shows. My father was a guest on one of the episodes! Great music and video quality. I just placed my own order and the folks at VB reminded me that I neglected to enter a discount code. How nice is that?! Thank you Video Beat."
"Fast ship and wonderful service and quality. Very pleased. I want to put together a high school reunion disc with old movie previews, tv commercials, digitized photos from back in the day, and more. The Video Beat was fantastic in suggesting titles and even sent me via email (and for free) a TV commercial I wanted, because though he has it, it is not offered on his website. I will highly recommend and shop again. Thank you very much."
"I agree with many Video Beat customers- Chuck is rude. But even worse he isnt upfront & honest with customers. His ad says he will ship within 48 hrs after payment. I bought a video for a birthday gift 8 days ahead, believing that Chuck would stand by his word and ship in 48 hrs. WRONG. Right after my payment went through. Chuck sends me an automatic reply saying , shipments will be delayed for at least 3 WEEKS!!!!. because he was on vacation. NEVER ONCE DID HE ADVERTISE THAT ON VIDEO BEST SITE. NO RESPECT FOR CUSTOMERS. I emailed Chuck asking him why he didnt tell customers that they wouldnt get what CHUCK ADVERTISED. He replied back with a rant & and a attitude. And waited until he got back from his vacation to refund my money. Find your video some where else Chuck is a dishonest jerk."
"I looked for these movies for years and could not find them anywhere. I finally found them at The VideoBeat and ordered them. I have watched both 3 & 4 in my blu-ray player. Excellent quality and excellent movies. Would recommend to anyone. Will definitely keep the site handy for future reference. There are so many people who don't even realize these movies are in existence. I enjoyed watching them. I will be watching them again soon. Along with the first two. So happy to have all four movies on DVD now. Thanks again!"
"The Video Beat has great stuff and ships super fast. I'd like to tell them thanks for providing me with some really cool and obscure movies and TV. I especially like the format where they have shorts after the feature. Reminds me of AmPop from AMC from years ago. Boy do I miss that! Thanks VideoBeat, I will order again soon!"
"This morning I received the Little Richard DVD I ordered from VIDEO BEAT on 26th of August. The delivery was much quicker than I expected. I am absolutely delighted. Little Richard toured in the UK in 1963 when I was a teenager and I saw him twice. He was amazing. The show on the DVD was broadcast on television early in 1964 but never repeated. I have tried many times to locate this show on video but never could find it. I discovered VIDEO BEAT website by accident and couldn't believe my luck. They have made one British rock and roll fan very happy! I will be back for more."
"My sister received her discs and we are both thrilled. Thank you SO, SO much for being kind enough to create and enclose a gift message on my behalf. I really appreciate it. The Video Beat has a customer for life! "
