i.e. domestic and personally recorded videotapes or professionally recorded videotapes where you own the copyright.

(If the tape label, the case or the video footage contains “Copyright” © on it or otherwise indicates that permission is required prior to copying, then we can not transfer it.)

Exceptions

If DVDs are not available to purchase for your particular video and the copyright owners have given their permission for you to have a personal transfer carried out.

We have transferred many video’s where permission has been granted for a personal transfer to be carried out. If you have obtained permission please either e-mail or send a copy to us with your tapes.

Sending Your Video and Camcorder Tapes to us.

 
We strongly  recommend sending your video  and camcorder tapes by royal mail special delivery or another trusted courier 
Smaller camcorder tapes are best sent in their original plastic case in a good quality bubble wrap style envelope please label both the tapes and cases.  
Full size VHS video tapes are heavy and can easily be damaged, we advise sending them in cardboard sleeves the type normally associated with blank VHS tapes, using a good quality bubble wrap style envelope or wrapped cardboard box. If possible try to bind the video tapes together or pack tightly to avoid movement and possible damage by colliding with each other if the package is shaken. Please ensure the actual video tapes are labelled  not just the sleeves.
If possible send an e-mail advising us of the delivery and tracking details if available, we will send a return e-mail advising of their arrival with us.

Can I use my DVD for editing?

There is not a simple answer to this question. With most domestic editing software you can't edit from a DVD without first converting the video content of the DVD to a suitable editable digital file usually Mpeg2 this is commonly known as ripping the DVD.

 

Digital editing / backup file 

 

All our DVDs are individually made from your videos using digital hardware based computer technology and with most of our transfer services we also produce an editable digital back up file that we store for 30 days on our system. This file is in an Mpeg2 format that is suitable for use with most PC based editing software and we can supply a copy of this file for you on a DVD data disc for a small additional cost normally £5.The Mpeg2 file can be copied to your Hard Disc Drive on your computer and imported into suitable editing software  without having to be previously converted.
 If you don't have editing software or experience problems carrying out the editing our economy editing service may be of help to you. If it less than 30 days from receiving the disc then we will have a copy of the file which we can access for from your reference number on the disc or if it is after 30 days then simply send the disc back to us so that we can copy the file back onto our system.

Can I make copies of my DVD?

Yes

The DVD is made from video material you supply so we do not put any restrictions on copying the DVD discs.
However our current additional copy price of £5 or down to £3.34 if you order 3 additional copies (Produced and presented the same as the main copy) may be worth considering.

Why 90 minuets Max ?

 

We work to our tried and tested formula for transferring from VHS video and camcorder tapes to DVDs, that combines good quality with high reliability and compatibility for both DVD players and desk / laptop computers with a DVD ROM drive built in.

 More than 90 mins on a tape to be transferred

 If the tape duration is longer than 90 minuets then with split the digital file up and create 2 or more DVDs . These are place in a double or triple cases as appropriate  and the disc are labelled as' Your Title' Disc 1 , ' Your Title ' Disc 2  etc.

More than 90 mins on a single DVD

If you specifically require more than 90 mins on a single DVD we can produce longer running disc using our High level encoding transfer service.

Low level encoded transfers

The reputation of our products and services are very important to us. So we Don't offer a low level encoded transfer service or carry out transfers using domestic DVD recorders.

Why no frills ?

 

Our most popular Video to DVD transfer service, combines good quality with high reliability and compatibility for both DVD players and computers, without any special presentation ie Menu screens ,picture images etc that are available with our Advanced transfer service.  

Although its called  No Frills!  It does include:-

 Automatic start

 Just put the DVD in the player and it will start to play without the need to find your remote handset.

Chapter Points

Up to 18 separate chapter points are also included allowing you to be able to jump forward or backward in 5 minuet intervals (Some DVD player will even allow you to jump direct to a chapter number, for example if you know you have a favourite part that is about half an hour in, just type in chapter 6 and you will be playing the section you want).

Printed Title on the DVD Disc and on the Full Size Case

To help you identify the DVD easily your title is printed directly on the DVD disc itself (We don't use sticky labels) and on the case inset front and spine).
