How much does it cost?

Is there really a money-back guarantee? 

Absolutely. We want you to be happy with your DVDs. Review our guarantee. Order with confidence. 

What is included with my DVD beyond the DVD itself?

Is shipping really free ?

Yes, both ways. Please refer to our shipping information.

Will I be notified when my disk(s) are shipped?

If you provide the (optional) E-mail address on your order form, you will be notified when your tapes are received and shipped. You will also be provided a USPS Delivery Confirmation number to track your shipment.

Can I get multiple copies of the DVD's ?

Multiple copies are available complete with labels and jewel cases for a  small additional charge.

How many tapes fit on one DVD?

In general, up to two hours of video tape fit on one DVD.

What formats of tape can be converted to DVD?

Most camcorder formats including 8mm, 8mm Digital, and Mini-DV, VHS, and VHS-C  can be converted. If you are not sure what format you have, take a look at our tape type identification chart or  contact us.

I previously had my 8mm film  movies converted to VHS tape - can you convert them to DVD ?

Yes.  Send us your VHS tapes and we will convert them.

Can you add background music to my movies when you put them on DVD ?

Yes. We can include music from our library of period appropriate music or you can send us your CD's along with your order and we will include your music. There is an additional charge for this service.

What formats of DVD's can you create ?

We can create both DVD+R formats and DVD-R formats. Most newer DVD players play both formats. However, some older players only support one format. We'll send you a demo DVD with your shipping container so you can test your machine before sending your tape(s) to us.

Can you edit my tapes before putting them on the DVD's?

Yes. The most cost effective method is to first make a full DVD copy, which routinely encodes precise elapsed time data onto the disc. You can then view your video and note the specific times to delete, dissolve, fade, animate, etc. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

Your credit card records and video data are deleted 14 days after shipping (We retain them for a short period  in order to allow time for you to easily ordering copies and edits).
