If the original disc has main menus or additional features, such as mufti languages, sub titles, extra trucks,
they may not show up on the converted NTSC DVD.

100 % compatibility.

Why VHS tape to DVD transfer is necessary? |
|
|
For those who want to EDIT the video footage by yourself,
the DVD_Video format is |
|
What format of video tapes do you accept? |
|
| Almost any
kind tapes including, VHS, S-VHS, VHS-C, Video8, Hi8, Digital8,
MiniDV tape in SD format, MiniDV tape in HD format, Standard DV tape, DVCAM tape, HDV tape, U-matic and so on. |
|
How about the DVD quality of the videos in LP/EP mode? |
|
| If the tape is recorded
in LP/EP mode(longer play modes), the image quality on DVD
is, in general, worse than in SP mode tape. We try to make the DVD quality as best as we can, because the original image quality is such, there is not we can do about it. |
|
What if my tape is longer than 2 hours? |
|
| If a tape is longer than
2 hours but less than 4 hours, we will put it on a DVD without any additional charge. A longer than 4 hours tape will be transferred to multiple DVDs. The first 4 hour DVD is $29.95 and the additional DVD is $19.95. |
|
Will my original tape be returned to me? |
|
| Yes. | |
I am concerned about the privacy and confidentiality of my video tape. |
|
| We respect your privacy and confidentiality. | |
|
Most jobs are done in house by experienced professional technicians. |
|
The technician will only watch your tape what is necessary for quality control. |
|
After conversion is complete, all temporary files will be automatically deleted from our system. |
Do you convert copy protected videos to DVD? |
|
| Absolutely not. | |
What kind of DVD brand you use? |
|
| Remember, the DVD we will create will be viewed
decades later. So we had to be very careful finding out the very best material possible in the market. After an intensive study, we've decided Taiyo-Yuden's Premium Line DVD (made in Japan) for our jobs. Taiyo-Yuden is recognized as an industrial leader in the manufacturing of its highest quality and most reliable DVDs on the market. Simply, they are the highest quality professional grade DVD's on the market. We didn't stop there - not only we use Taiyo-Yuden brand, we are using their top-of-the DVD product line called "Premium Line" (as oppose to Value line). You can't find any better consumer DVDs than the one we will be using for you. Sometimes we use Fuji Film Brand DVDs for its superb quality control as well as Sony's, depends on the job purpose. For instance we might use Fuji 4x(very slow media) DVDs for data duplication jobs, because the slow transfer speed gives good accuracy. Sony DVD will be used for Sony's High Definition jobs, such as AVCHD conversion. However, we will never use cheap non-brand products, unreliable national stationary store brands nor nation wide big discount chain brands DVDs. We firmly believe that your memory deserves the best. |
|
How long my DVD can be? |
|
| 4 hours. Longer the DVD duration, less the image quality. | |
How many video tapes can be transferred on a DVD? |
|
| As many as you like, up to 4 hours. However, please consider the followings: |
|
| 1 | We charge per original tape(not the DVD we create), so you don't save money doing this. |
| 2 | Longer the DVD, less the image quality. |
| To preserve the best possible quality, we recommend one-to-one transfer. | |
Will the DVD you create play on my DVD player? |
|
| Most of the
DVD players can play the DVDs we create. However, regardless of who created the DVD, there are some DVD players that gives problem. Even rental DVDs or Hollywood movie DVDs - which supposed to be playable on all DVD players - might not work on your DVD player. This happens more often to older DVD players. If that happens to you, we will re-burn on a different DVD media. (No refund will be made - store credit only). |
|
| Will the DVD you create play on my PC or Mac? | |
| Yes, it will work on your
computer if your PC/Mac has a DVD drive installed. Please try a Hollywood Movie DVD on you PC - if it woks, ours will work also. |
|
Can you transfer a portion of my video tape on to DVD. |
|
| No. We do
not offer any editing services. We will transfer whatever on the tape to a DVD as a whole. |
|
Can I edit the DVD you create on my computer? |
|
 |
You can edit the DVD Video on your computer, once you learn how to do it. |
| 1 | A
simple way to edit your DVD Video on your Windows XP or Vista:
Insert the DVD and go to Explore by right clicking on DVD icon. Under the Video_TS folder, you can see files ending .vob. You could drag(=copy) the vob files from your DVD's Video_TS folder onto your desktop. Then change the file ending from .vob to .mpg. Now you can use Windows Movie Maker to edit. Many people think this is the simplest way to edit the DVD video files on Windows. If the file type end change doesn't work for you, try using the free vob to mpeg converter and then try editing the mpeg's in windows movie maker. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/VOB2MPG |
