Camcorder 2 DVD
Types of analogue and digital camcorder tapes converted.
We transfer all formats of camcorder tape to DVD, from older analogue tapes through to today’s modern digital tapes. We can even transfer from Camcorder (8cm) DVD discs tapes on to a fully size DVD. We will record a maximum of 1hr 30 mins of your camcorder footage per DVD and will split your footage over as many DVDs as needed.
Analogue Tapes
To gain the best results from older analogue camcorder tapes, we run these through our digital remastering system. By doing this, the analogue signal is converted to a digital signal whilst the computer restores and improves both the picture and sound for you.
Digital Tapes
We use professional DV tape decks to transfer your footage. Your memories and how they are transferred are very important to us. We don’t comprise your transfers by using equipment and cables you can buy in the High Street, nor do we use a camcorder and standard AV cables either. We have invested time and money into our systems so you receive a professional, quality transfer.

Transfer Camcorder Tapes to DVD – Information for Video 8 & Hi8 Tapes
Our transfer process digitally remasters and repairs your film as it transfers it to DVD. The end result is a dramatic improvement on both the visual and audio quality. Tapes which had been unwatchable due to tracking problems or had washed out colours and fuzzy flecks in them are transformed and in many cases to their former glory.
If you would like to know what we do, here is some technical information about our Camcorder Enhanced and Premier Service
Proven DV Codec Technology
At the heart of our system is the proprietary DV codec chip, providing the industry's best picture quality preservation during analog-to-DV and DV-to-analog conversion.
Clean, Stabilize and Preserve Analog Video
Our system employs advanced 3D Y/C separation, 3D noise reduction and Line Time Base Correction (LTBC) functions for perfect frame synchronization. Poor analog source video is filtered and stabilized prior to DV conversion. It is also ideal for “cleaning” old analog video and output back to analog tape.
Advanced Image Enhancement Features
2D/3D Y/C Separation
2D Y/C separation separates Brightness (Y) and Chrominance (C) from the composite source signal by one frame. The 3D Y/C separation, separates by cross-referencing each frame with the frames immediately in front and behind, further refining and improving the overall image quality.
Separates brightness (y) and colour (c) signs to provide cleaner video
Digital 3D noise reduction – Eliminates noise in the analog video signal by detecting noise based on the characteristics
Digital 3D frame synchroniser – Stores incoming signals into a frame buffer to supply a stable, synchronised signal to the DV encoder chip. Digital Line Time Base Corrector (LTBC) – Detects images with strong horizontal jitters and employs powerful correction methods to repair the jitter.
Removes any sudden noise by comparing previous and subsequent frames
Digital Auto Gain Control (AGC)
Automatically adjusts the input video level for a clearer picture.
