DVD Video Transfer - Q&A
What video formats do you transfer onto DVD?
VHS, VHS-C, 8mm/Hi8/Digital8, MiniDV, BetaMax. We will also convert video files from camera hard-drives and 80mm camcorder discs.
How much video can fit on a single disc?
Up to two hours. We do not go over 2 hours because the lower compression-rate required to do that reduces your image quality. We do not use multi-layered discs.
Can you combine tapes onto one disc?
Yes. We combine from two sources at no additional charge. A nominal special-handling fee applies to three or more source tapes.
What kind of discs do you use?
We use 50-year rated, archive quality DVD-R discs. We use DVD-R because they are compatible with the greatest number of DVD players. DVD players over 8 to 9 years old may have a hard time playing a DVD-R. Hollywood-style DVD formats are availalbe, but require a replication process and a minimum order of 1,000 copies.
Will my DVD play on my computer?
There is a difference between a formatted DVD and a CD with a video file on it. Your video will be provided to you on a formated DVD.
If your computer has DVD player capabilities and you can view other DVDs, then our discs will also play.
I want scene selections at specific points in the video. Can you do that?
Yes. The service requires us to monitor your video and a special-handling fee applies.
Can you put a picture on our label and case cover?
Yes. We charge just $10 for the special request.
