Walter & Karen's Audio & Video Conversion Service

From This... |
To This! |
We offer a service to
convert your old VHS tapes to long lasting DVD format. Why convert? Because VHS
tapes can wear out or become damaged by a faulty VCR. DVDs are fully digital,
more rugged, and will last a lot longer!
Another advantage of DVDs
is that they have menus and chapter stops. This makes it a lot easier to find
exactly what you are looking for, rather than spending time shuttling a tape
back and forth.
We have a digital video
editing set up in our home. We have everything required to rescue your valuable
material from deteriorating VHS tape, and preserve it onto an easy-to-play DVD.
We can also convert audio
cassettes and LP records to audio CDs.
Our services and rates are
as follows:
Basic Conversion: We will copy the contents of your
tape (up to 2 hours) onto DVD. No editing, no color processing, no titles or
menus. The rate is $15 per DVD.
Editing: We will edit your video, add
titles, and do whatever we can to improve the appearance of your video. Often
we have had very good results making an old VHS tape look a lot better, but
everything depends on the quality of the original material. We will also add
menus and chapter stops to the DVD. This procedure can be as simple or as
complex as you require. We will review your tape with you, and you can make
decisions about the editing and titles. The rate for editing is $15 per hour of
our time, added to the charge for Basic Conversion.
Audio Conversion: We can make audio CDs that you can
play in any CD player from either cassettes or records. The rate for cassettes
is $15 per cassette. The rate for LPs is $20 per LP. If required, we will clean
your LPs and apply a digital "pop and click" removal filter to the
music.
Additional DVD Copies: $5 each.
How
much video will fit on a DVD? For the best quality from a digital source we recommend 60
minutes of video per DVD. However, for video from VHS tapes we can safely fit
up to two hours of video per DVD with little decrease in quality. (Note that
consumer DVDs hold less material than commercial DVDs.)
We can also provide
additional audio, video and graphical related services including creating,
shooting and editing of video projects. Contact us for details and rates. We
also provide discounts for large number of conversions. Call or email for a
written quotation.
