What is the
audio & video quality of the transfers? |
 |
The quality of the
recordings is really based on your original material. If your original is a VHS or 8mm
tape, then you will get VHS or 8mm quality. If your original is from a HI-8, S-VHS or Mini
DV, you will get very high resolution video & digital quality
sound. Usually the DVD's image will be slightly better then the original. |
|
|
How
many minutes of stereo audio & video will fit onto a disc? |
|
We can
record up to 360 minutes (6 hours) onto one DVD disc .
However,
Each tape that you send in would go onto it's own disc. If you
send in three tapes, you would get back the original tapes plus 3
DVD disc's. Total cost = $74.85 + S/H |
|
|
What
if I have a tape that is longer than one disc can hold? |
|
If your original
material is longer than 6 hours, you will need 2 or more disc's to complete the
transfer.
For example: If your program is 12 hours long, we will put 6 hours onto each of 2 disc's. Total cost =
$49.90
+ S/H |
|
|
Can
I put more than 1 tape onto a disc? |
|
No.
For the best possible quality, we cannot combine (edit together) 2 or more tapes. Each video tape that you send in would go onto it's own
DVD disc. If you
send in two tapes, you would get back the original tapes plus 2
DVD disc's. Total cost = $49.90 + S/H |
|
|
What
if I have several tapes that I want transferred to DVD? |
|
No
problem. If you don't want us to do custom printing on your disks,
then just fill out one order form for all of your tapes. We will
package the new DVD with your original tape so you know what disk
goes to which tape. Then you can write onto the disk whatever you
want as far as program name, etc. If you need us to custom print
the disks, then you need to affix an order form to each tape so we
know what you want printed on the disks. |
|
|
How
much will the shipping charges be if I send in more then one tape
to be transferred to DVD? |
|
If
you send in between 2-5 tapes for transfer to DVD, the total
shipping charge is $9.85. For 6-24 tapes, the shipping is $16.50 |
|
|
Does
the Disc created by you play on a DVD set-top player? |
|
Yes, the Disc will
play on all Blu-ray and 99% of DVD players. |
|
|
I
had a disk transferred and when I play it on my DVD player or
computer, it
either plays for a few minutes and then the screen turns blue, or
it doesn't play at all, why? |
|
This happens when
your DVD player is not 100% DVD-R compatible. Check with your
instruction manual to make sure that your machine will play DVD-R
disks. |
|
|
How do I view the
video on my PC? |
|
To view the Disc on a
PC, place the disc in your DVD drive. Launch the DVD video
software that came with your computer or DVD drive and play the
large file on the disc. |
|
|
After
I get the DVD, can I edit the material on my computer? |
|
To
edit a DVD, copy the largest file from the disk that you receive
to your hard drive and then rename the "VOB" file extension
to: "MPG". You will then be able to play and edit the
disk on your computer providing you have a DVD-R drive and editing
software. |
|
|
If
I use my computer to view the disc, will it play "Full
Screen"? |
|
Yes,
it will play just like any movie DVD. |
|
|
Does the price include
labels or printing on the Disc? |
|
Custom printing is
included on every disc. You can choose from many Graphics,
Company Logos and Full
Color Backgrounds. You can also use your own
artwork and we'll custom print it directly onto the disc. Click
Here for more info. |
|
|
What
happens when I insert the disk into my player? |
|
When
you place the disk into your player, it will show the time &
date it was transferred. Simply press play and your program will
begin. |
|
|
Will
the disk have menus and/or chapters? |
|
We
do not create menus, however chapters marks are automatically
inserted every 13-15 minutes. If you want to get to another
section on the disk you can always use the fast forward function
that all DVD players have. |
