VHS, Betamax, V2000, CDVideo and Laserdisc

Frustrating isn't it, your favourite artists back catalogue is only available on old, decaying formats, no sign of a DVD at all. Maybe it has only been shown on one of the late night broadcasts and never commercially released and every time you play your favourite bit the quality gets worse. Well this is the service that puts you in charge to get the DVD you always wanted to buy. Material can be in either PAL or NTSC format and can be output in PAL or NTSC DVD. Choose from Self-edit, Bronze Silver or Gold service to get your dream DVD.

*This service is also excellent for transferring your favourite VHS movies onto DVD if they are not likely to be released on the newer format.

*Please read disclaimer at bottom of page

There are four levels of service to meet your needs, they are:

Self-edit - £15 per hour of final DVD

Suggested uses: Want to do your own editing on your own system but either can’t get the footage into your PC or you can’t generate professional quality footage then this level is for you. Your footage is supplied on a DVD-Rom as an .mpg at 8000kbps and PAL format 720 x 576 resolution so that you can drag-and-drop the file into your own editing software.

Bronze £10 per hour of final DVD

Silver service includes transfer of the important parts of your material, editing out unwanted adverts or promotional blurb. Each track can be a separate 'chapter' so that you can easily get to any track you wish to watch instantly. You can name each tape or 'Title' exactly how you wish. The disc will be fully printed with artist, Concert and track details with accompanying screen-shots or artwork.
