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.
