Our encoded DVDs will play on your TV system and on your computer but cannot be edited. We can supply you with editable computer files. These are supplied as MP4s and are good for both PCs and Macs. One hour of video as a MP4 file needs up to 5gb of space. You will need to supply us with a external hard drive or large capacity USB big enough for your MP4 files. We can supply USB sticks at cost, on request.
Although DVDs last a lifetime without deterioration in quality one scratch or scuff mark will render it unplayable. For this reason we strongly advise you to order an extra DVD back up copy of your Digital8 Video work - the cost is only £5 per tape, even less when having multiple tapes converted.
By asking us to transfer your Hi8 video you are giving us an assurance that you are the copyright owner or that you have permission from the copyright owner to duplicate the work.
We only accept Hi8 Video to DVD transfer work on this basis.
NTSC-PAL
NTSC is a video format standard widely used in many other parts of the world such as USA. Japan and much of South America.
So if your video tape was originally filmed in any of these countries it will need to be converted to PAL format to play on UK TV systems.
The cost of NTSC Hi8 transfer to PAL and encoded to DVD is £40 per video tape.
Video Tape Repair
We can fix any type of physical damage to the tape such as snapped or entangled tape, tapes which are immediately ejected and replacing the tape housing.
We cannot generally fix problems associated with bad recordings (too light or too dark), camera equipment malfunctions and sound problems.
If you have accidentally erased the tape we cannot restore the footage.
