For many years video tapes have been the most widely used format for home entertainment and family videos.  As you may know, over time these tapes significantly lose their quality and can eventually become unusable.  The only true way to preserve these video memories is to transfer them to DVD, the format that

will last a lifetime.  This process is very inexpensive and the outcome is priceless.  Your children and grandchildren will be able to watch the DVD years from now and cherish those special times over and over again.  Click here to read a letter from one of our customers.

The Simple Facts.  Let's face it, your family video tapes will not last forever.  The life expectancy of the average video tape can be as short as 10-15 years.  However, the loss of quality can begin within 5-7 years while just sitting on the shelf.  During normal operation, (playing, rewinding, forwarding, etc.) the tape is directly contacted by the tape heads in your player.  This causes friction and gradually weakens or wears out the tape to the point that it can no longer be used.  In addition to normal tensions placed on the tape with each use, the moving parts in your VCR or camcorder are likely to malfunction and can cause irreparable damage.  Ouch!  Don't let your memories become VCR bait!

Saved by the DVD.  DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc meaning it offers a high-quality digital format with versatility unmatched by any other media technology.  With proper care a DVD can last a lifetime since (unlike the magnetic tape) it does not physically touch any part inside your DVD player.  Instead, the disc is read by a laser beam that's reflected from

the disc surface.  This method rules out any possibility of deterioration or potential loss of quality due to direct contact.  With the invention of DVD media also came many benefits like higher quality video and audio, custom menus, scene selection, etc.

Compatibility you can trust.  We use only professional grade DVD-R format DVDs that are compatible with any DVD player.  We also custom label your DVD by printing directly onto the disc so you don't have to contend with playback problems associated with stick-on labels.  This compatibility makes it very convenient to share your video with friends and family no matter where you go.  All you need is a DVD player and a TV or monitor.  It also works well with your portable DVD player or computer!

Time to Transfer.  We transfer your old tape formats (VHS and camcorder tapes) to DVD so you can safely view them with your DVD player for years to come.  Just submit your non-copyrighted materials and family home videos you want to preserve.  We offer two transfer methods – the Basic transfer (the most common) and the Custom transfer.  The Basic transfer produces an exact copy of the tape source you provide.  However, Custom transfers deliver more features like title screens, a custom menu with scene selections, and visual and audio corrections as necessary.  For pricing information please click here.
