 Converting to DVD

  • We can still convert to DVD BUT don’t recommend this because:-
  • It has become an phased out format
  • The reliablity of the discs
  • Not easlily shared
  • We can convert any current DVD’s to digital format on USB

Hard Drive or USB Memory Stick

  • This is the cheapest option to store your video before you lose your valuable memories 
  • Normally provided  in AVI format, suitable for video editing software – for the do it yourself, File size is approx 13g per hour of footage.
  • This format can be viewed on a desktop computers.
  • We can supply in other formats, like mp4 which is approx 1.6g per hr of footage
  • Warning – not all TV’s will play these types of video formats.  Check  with manufacturer of the TV to find suitable format if any.

All our conversions are processed in 2 stages:

  • 1. From video tape into computer’s edit suite.                                                                          
  • This allows the conversion to be cleaned by removing tape dropouts and audio is set to a normal level.

Optional:

  To process  the conversion to remove most noise (snow)*  with min effect on the detail of the picture. 

  • We strongly recomend this be done on any analogue tapes.  Results are can be outstanding. 
  • This will enhance your viewing by making it look more digital in the picture quality
  • ALL ANALOGUE VIDEOS WILL HAVE NOISE IN VARYING DEGREE

2. From the Edit Suite it is converted  to a  USB Device.

 This technique is far superior than recording  straight to USB Device
