Advanced digital conversion
with pre-transfer video
correction. To improve the
quality of the picture that is
captured and encoded to make
up your DVD(s). With our
advanced transfer process the
(picture) video signal is adjusted /
corrected prior to the
transfer taking place. The
picture levels are monitored
at several points along the
tape and an average level
for that tape is manually
set up for Brightness,
Contrast and Colour
Saturation etc. Whilst this probably
will not make any difference
to perfect video recordings
it does give an improvement
to older videotapes recorded
in the 1980s and 90s
especially poorer quality second / third
generation copies that were
very common prior to the
availability of digital
processing . |

Encoded
chapter points @ 5 minutes
intervals
We insert encoded
chapter points in the DVD, normally set at
5 minute intervals to allow you to easily
jump backwards or forwards
to the point you would like to watch
by pressing the buttons on
your remote handset. This is
an important feature as it
saves you having to fast
forward through the whole
DVD. |

a picture from around the start of the video

pictures links , allowing you to easily make
the selection of the section you would
like to jump to. At any time by
pressing the 'menu' or 'title' button on
your remote handset the thumbnail menu
page is displayed, again allowing you to
make the selection of the chapter you
would like. Chapter

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 our Advanced transfer
service we also produce an editable digital
back up file that we store for 30 days on our
system, allowing you to order additional copies,
editing etc. This file is in an Mpeg2 format that is
suitable for use with most Windows based PC
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
personal computer and imported into suitable editing
software without having to be previously
converted( Please check that your editing
software can work with Mpeg2 files before ordering).
If you don't
have editing software or experience problems
carrying out the editing, our play & select 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 ?
When analogue VHS video and camcorder tapes are
transferred to a DVD disc along with the
analogue to digital conversion that takes place
the digital video signal also has to be
compassed to fit onto a DVD this is complex
subject but in simple terms, the higher the
compression the more video can be fitted onto
the disc but the quality reduces, a lower
compression improves the quality but you can not
fit as much video on the disc.
We work to our tried and tested formula that offers "very good" quality,
reliability and compatibility for both DVD
players 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 placed in a double or triple
cases as appropriate and the disc are labelled
as' Your Title' Disc 1 , ' Your Title
' Disc 2 etc.
Low level encoded
transfers
The reputation of
our products and services are very important to
us. So we do not offer a
low level encoded transfer service or carry out
transfers using domestic DVD recorders.
