What makes your video tape & film transfer services unique?

We use professional video editing software to enhance the image quality of your videos. As video tapes and films age, the colors often fade. Our goal is to restore your video tapes and films to their original quality. Most of our competitors do not even offer this feature that we include in all of our video and tape transfers.

Should I transfer my tapes/films to DVD or digital files?

It depends on how your plan to watch your videos. If you no longer have a DVD player, but do have a smart TV, then we recommend transferring your videos to a flash drive that can be read by your smart TV. If you prefer to watch your videos on your DVD player, then we recommend transferring your videos to DVD. If you would like the flexibility of both options, then we recommend transferring your videos to both DVDs and digital files.

What makes your Photo Scanning and Photo Montage Videos unique?

We use Photoshop to digitally enhance every photo. Aging photos often fade and can develop a reddish hue. Digital enhancement can often restore your photos to their original quality.

How do you choose background music for silent films and photo montages?

We examine the content of the video and choose appropriate music. Examples: (1) For the beach - music with waves, (2) For the woods - music with birds chirping, (3) Christmas - Christmas carols, (4) a church ceremony - slower solemn music, (5) a child’s action packed birthday party - faster upbeat music, (6) family moments - uplifting inspirational music.

Can I drop off my tapes/films/pictures at your NJ location?

How much video can you fit on a DVD?

A standard DVD can hold ~2 hours of video, without significant quality loss.

Can I put more than one tape on a DVD?

If the tapes are less than 2 hours in length, we can put multiple tapes on a DVD ($7:50 for each additional tape).

What if I have tapes that are more than 2 hours in length?

We will need to put your tapes on multiple DVDs ($19.99/DVD).

What is the difference between Standard and Premium Tape Transfers?

Premium tape transfers provide 10 minutes of custom editing (usually sufficient time to go through your video 1X) to remove unwanted gaps in the video, and to improve the image quality of the video via color correction. Since tapes fade over time, color correction can greatly improve the video to the quality that existed when it was new.

For premium tape transfers, will you remove all gaps?

We will attempt to find all gaps, but won’t guarantee that we will locate ever gap. We can spend more time searching (custom editing rates will apply), if you wish.

What if I want to make changes to my finished DVD?

You can make changes to your DVD for 30 days after pickup of your order (subject to editing and DVD duplication costs). After 30 days, we delete your video files and are unable to make changes to your DVD. However, we can provide additional copies of your DVD after 30 days.
