- DVDs can last a lifetime without degrading. When you digitize your videos they will be preserved for your family to enjoy in the future.
- DVD cases are light and easy to store. (view a sample)
- Disks don't require rewinding.
- DVD video menus make it easy to skip to a particular scene in the video. (view a sample)
Every DVD we create gets individual attention to detail. Menus, labels, bit rates, and chapter points are all manually adjusted. We manually check and double-check each step of the process to ensure the best possible quality.
Videotapes degrade every time they are played. Even storing them properly and making backup copies will not preserve the picture quality. The best way to ensure your VHS or camcorder tapes are preserved is to digitize them and have them converted to a long lasting digital medium. Time or extensive playing will not affect the quality of your new DVD disks. By digitizing your videotapes they will always look exactly the same as they do now.
