FAQ:
What is the difference between a DVD and Blu-ray transfer?
A DVD holds 2-4 hours and a Blu-ray holds 10-20 hours (about 5 times more content than DVD) The end quality will be the same on both types of discs which is the quality of your original tape. Note that Blu-ray requires a Blu-ray player but a DVD will play on both a Blu-ray and a DVD player BUT most people only have DVD players so DVD is usually more compatible. Some of our customers that had a large amount of tapes used the Blu-ray format which required only about 20% of the DVD's that would be required. (i.e. 100 x 2 hr. VHS tapes = 200 hrs. = about 50 DVD's or about 10 Blu-rays)
How long does it take?
Usually 1-3 working weeks depending on how many tapes you have and our work load.
What if the videotape breaks?
tape splicing and repair 8.00
Can I have my transfer put on different formats
We can transfer your videos directly to a USB memory stick (Flash drive) and/or DVD/Blu-ray. Note that all forms of storage have pros & cons. Having files backed up 2 different methods and in 2 different locations is the safest way of storage for irrreplaceable files.
How can I have my tapes transferred in order if I don't have a vcr to preview them?
If you can number the tapes it is best -otherwise we will go by any dates written on the labels or in the video at begining of tapes and assign a tape # to each. If order is important we can tape a quick tv low res image from each tape & email them to you that you could use to tell us the order (cost is $10 setup + $2/tape).
Can I copy bought movies to DVD?
We cannot transfer/copy copyrighted material. Our equipment will not record material that is copyrighted with a copyright signal encoded into the video such as retail bought movies.
What video formats do you transfer?
We transfer VHS, VHSC, SVHS, Betamax, 8mm, Hi8, Digital 8 and miniDV formats. We can also transfer from cameras that use internal hard drives, DVD-R and Flash memory (additional set-up may apply when not from videotapes). Please contact us first on these non-tape formats if you have any questions.
How do I get the tapes to you?
Please call us at 806-477-9411 to arrange for dropping of your job or for our shipping address. We can give you an estimate before proceeding with your job.
