I don't know (off the top of my head) any companies that do this, but the
process itself is very easy.

By using a program like Audacity
<http://audacity.sourceforge.net/>(freeware) or
Pyro <http://www.cakewalk.com/products/audiocreator/>, one can rip the
audio from a vinyl record to a computer and cut it into individual
tracks/clean the signal/etc. before burning it to a disc.

While they make USB turntables specifically for this (This Audio
Technica<http://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT-LP60USB-Automatic-Driven-Turntable/dp/B002GYTPB8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1343318971&sr=8-3&keywords=audio+technica+turntable>is
the cheapest model I know of), it can be done by running your stereo
into your computer's line in.

I don't know if that helps or not. I have done this for a large number of
LPs and cassettes with great success.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
