Preserve your Memories...
Are you searching for a way to archive your videos and photos to share with family and friends? If so, we have the solution for you! DVD is the new medium for video that is rapidly replacing VHS which has been the standard for 20 years. Our service converts your home movies and photos on DVD.

In this brochure you will find interesting facts about VHS and DVD. I encourage you to spend time reading and doing some research on your own.

Our service of VHS to DVD can be your solution to a compelling presentation of those special moments or simply preserving what you already have collected.

Once your DVD is produced all you have to do is slip it in your DVD player, press play or select the chapters, and watch your memories for years to come.

Why convert your video Memories?
- Videotape has a life expectancy of about 15 years.
- DVD media has a life expectancy of over 100 years.
- DVD video and audio does not deteriorate, even after thousands of playbacks.
- Copying from one VHS tape to another VHS tape results in reduced quality.
- A digital copy of one DVD to another DVD is an exact duplicate, same quality.


Tell-tale signs, Memories are fading:
Video streaking or sparkle effects are noticeable, deterioration has occurred.
Video tape decay is continuous, unstoppable, and irreversible.


Known causes:
- Chemical breakdown of videotape binders or coatings.
- Binders absorb moisture, releasing acids and alcohols that hasten deterioration.
- Humidity increases tape pack stresses and tightness.
- Tape shedding and wound in debris cause clogging, scoring, and head wear.
- Layer to Layer adhesion and changes in dimensions cause tracking errors.
- A digital conversion of your media now stops any further loss of quality.
- Preserve your original media for as long as it is viable.

All DVD Players are not created equally:

DVD technology has evolved into two formats, much like the old BETA/VHS scenario.  The two formats are DVD-R and DVD+R.  Both have a 92% success rate in most of today’s DVD players.  However from time to time about 8% have a compatibility problem.  On some of the first generation of DVD players this problem is more persistent.

Your DVD is on a DVD-R, it is more widely acceptable in most players.

The manufacturers are getting smarter and labeling their equipment.  The new generations of DVD players have evolved to support many more playback formats.  They now read Windows Media Files (WMA), MP3’s, CD-R,R/W, DVD, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, JPEG still pictures and Kodak Picture viewers on the same machine.

 If for some reason your DVD will not play in your player, your equipment may not be capable of DVD-R playback.
