Video 2 DVD
Type of analogue video tapes converted.
We transfer most formats of VHS video tapes to DVD. From VHS and SVHS to the smaller VHS tapes (VHS-C & SVHS-C) used in older video cameras. For transferring your video tapes to DVD we offer three solutions depending on your needs and budget.
Our Standard Transfer is just that, a direct copy of your tape to DVD preserved digitally for you. If you want to improve the picture and sound quality of your tape, with our Enhanced Service, we run your tapes 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.
If you are looking for the ultimate service for your tapes, our Premier Service is just for you. Not only will your tapes be digitally remastered, but you will have your own personalised DVD menu, chapter points (so you can go to the scene you want without having to fast forward and rewind your video tape until you find it. We also add a title at the beginning and end of your DVD together with music of your choice.

Transfer Video Tapes to DVD – Information for all VHS 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. Our 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.
