We can only transfer Consumer-type Betamax and Non-HD MiniDV tapes.

*A 2 hour VHS tape to MPEG-4 sometimes will NOT automatically divide itself to fit onto a Flash Drive, it has to be MANUALLY divided into less than 4GB parts (the limit of a Flash Drive file size), this means that it has to be edited to 4 or more separate parts to be able to save it onto a Flash drive or Data DVD.

**$6 Discount on Video Files to Flash Drive if we are already making your video into a DVD.

NOTICE:   MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 DVDs will not play in most DVD Players!  This type of product is for you to download the files to your computer for you to edit yourself only.

We can help you with that too:

Option 1:

(3) $15.00 / day (+$100 Deposit) you can rent a Digital8 or MiniDV camcorder to preview your tapes.

Our Guarantee:   Our DVDs are produced on new high-quality national brand DVD-R permanent media.   If your DVD player* FAILS to play any of our DVDs within 30 days, please return them and we will re-burn it for you on a DVD+R type at no additional charge.  Please check your DVD player's ability to play recordable DVDs by clicking: Compatibility.  Because the digital material we produce can take several hours per DVD or CD, and has the potential to be copied, we cannot offer money back, but we do make every effort to meet your requirements.   *Because of the many different operating systems, and video codecs requirements, these are designed to be played in DVD players, due to the additional processing time, a charge of $3 extra per DVD will be added to allow them to play in a computer.
