Video Tape Transfer

We transfer from video tape to DVD. We support all formats of video tape including VHS tape transfer, Betamax tape transfer, VHS-c tape transfer, compact VHS tape transfer, super VHS video tape transfer, and betacam SP tape transfer.  We digitally remaster old video tapes to improve their picture and sound quality.

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 conversion.

Customers are astonished to find that when we transfer video tapes to DVD, films that jump to the point of being unwatchable due to tracking problems and stretched, saggy VHS tapes, can become viewable film once more. Worn out and degraded video tapes which have washed out colours, orange skin tones, and white fuzzy flecks, can be improved.

35mm Slide Transfer

We transfer from 35mm slides to DVD and 35mm slides to CD.  Your slides, negatives and photos are all very precious and just as delicate. Extreme care is taken here when we process a slide to DVD order. All images are gently cleaned to clear excess hairs and dust from them and then carefully placed into our machine to scan. Once scanned, all 35mm slides are immediately placed back into their original packaging.

How do we scan your 35mm slides to DVD or 35mm slides to CD?
Every 35mm slide is individually scanned using a high-end 20 megapixel vertical scanner built specifically for 35mm slide transfer and negatives transferred to DVD. The quality is so far superior to a flat-bed system that it is not even comparable. Our vertical scanner scans 35mm slides 4 times at alternating angles to achieve the best possible image. A further pass is made with an infra-red light which can detect the difference between the actual surface of the 35mm slide and dirt and dust stuck to the surface. Where it detects an object that is stuck to the surface of the 35mm slide it scans past this, resulting in a cleaner, more restored image. The system also checks the lighting and contrast of your photo and alters it's settings to compensate for under/over exposed picture.
