Economy Standard or Premium- Which Do You Need?
We've made this easy. The only decision you have to make is Economy, Standard or Premium grade.
Video conversion to Digital
Our operators study our manuals, get 1:1 training, practice under the supervision of a senior operator, then have to pass a certification test before they can digitize your video tapes.
Tape type | COMMON NAME | rESOLUTION |
|---|---|---|
VHS  | VHS, VHS-c | 480p Standard Class |
8mm  | Hi-8, Digital8, Video8 | 480p up to the 90's 720p after that Standard Class |
MiniDV  | MiniDV | 1080p Premium Class |
Go Premium If:
Otherwise, Standard grade will work for you!
Please note: You can still go with standard with a mini dV, or go with Premium with a VHS. These are just our recommendations!
How we've made this so simple:
- This requires expensive circuit boards that have direct access to the computer's memory.
What this means to you:
- You get the best video possible from your tapes when we convert them to digital.
Digital Movie File Types
You want whatever we deliver to work on the device you use to watch the movies. We want that too!
There are 2 types of digital movie files: containers or streaming. Computers need containers, and DVD players need streaming. There are 2 types of containers: the ones that work with Windows computers, and the ones that work with MAC computers.
That's why we ask you in checkout what type of computer you use. If you are a Windows user, you'll get a MP4 file. If you're a MAC user, you'll get a QuickTime (mov) file. If you answer both types of computer, you'll get an MP4 file. Any other device (like play station or smart TV) can use the MP4 file, and that's what you get if you answer "other".
Your DVD player needs a certain type of streaming file called VOB. When you ask for a DVD movie disk, we'll take the container file and transcode it into a VOB file, and burn that onto a DVD disk for you.
