VHS to DVD Conversion

Have you considered a professional VHS to DVD conversion?

Many of us have programmes on VHS that still contain material relevant to promoting our products or businesses but the cost of sending tapes to clients abroad can be very expensive. An alternative is to convert VHS to DVD or another digital standard.

Whether you want to send one VHS copy to a client in the United States or 10,000 CDs to potential customers, we can do it for you.

Furthermore, VHS television standards have different formats for some countries and we can transfer programmes to all of them. CD and DVD discs are more standard across the world but may need specialist software to make them operate the way you expect them to. Just let us know what you would like to do and leave the organisation, processing and delivery to us.

Encoding

Recording pictures and sound straight from video onto disc in its digital form would take up a great deal of space on a disc. To save space, there are several of ways of compressing the video data so you can squeeze about one hour of video onto a CD and a complete movie onto a DVD.

Each of the encoding systems has its own advantages and disadvantages and we can help you decide which is the best for your project.

Video Tape

In the UK, we have just one television standard format and an LP version which doubles the recording time (and halves the play-back quality) of tapes.

In other countries where the television formats are different from ours, there are different ways of recording the picture and sound information so they play back on televisions in those countries.

We can re-record your programmes in the format required for their destination country.

The business card can display a series of still shots or a short video clip, a voiced description of your company and a link to your web site for updated information.

A full size CD can hold up to an hour of encoded video material with indexing for instant access and an on-screen front page describing the details of the video programme.
