What is the Process you use to make DVD's?

© Steed Preservations 2005

VHS and camcorder tapes degrade with the passing of time. With each passing year the magnetic tape could be left blank with little more than fuzz to remember those special memories. The videotape to DVD conversion process stops the degradation and preserves your movies in the mpeg2 format that is used in DVD and High Definition Video. In addition to the DVD, the digital video files on the disc will be valuable even when the DVD format itself has come and gone. The deterioration is stopped once the video transfer to DVD occurs and digital video is here to stay. The video files we place on your DVD are not encrypted so you can transfer them to future formats! For More Information please see Why Transfer?

We offer more than just a video to DVD transfer. During the each transfer process, we'll take out those annoying blue and static scenes that you get when you turn a video camera on and off. We will automatically insert chapter markers into your video. This way, when you're viewing the DVD you can quickly skip scenes without having to watch through the whole movie.

We also offer an amazing selection of Simple, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Transfers (see VHS to DVD). These transfers can offer amazing features such as:

Many companies will say they are the best, but we explain how and why we are the best. Steed Preservations uses professional equipment, and we will even tell you the brand and model of equipment we use. Your VHS videocassette tape is run from our JVC SR-VS30U unit that will transfer the data from analog to a digital format. It is then captured on a Macintosh PowerMac G5 for authoring with Final Cut Pro HD 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4. These authoring programs are the top of the line industry standard. We can provide this information because not only is our equipment beyond the price range of the hobbyist, but also because we use processes (such as scene detection, online editing and color correction) that are what make us the best choice for VHS to DVD and Camcorder Tape to DVD conversions.

We have taken every precaution to ensure the safety of your precious and irreplaceable home movies. We also employ every precaution to store you home videos in the best possible conditions while they are staying with us (we even provide a continental breakfast at no charge:). By giving us a call you will always know where your movies are. We transfer all of your film and video in our facility (eliminating the middle man and the change of hands) and ship the movies back directly to you, using the service of your preference. We keep a digital back up of your movies for 2 weeks after shipment. We feel the safety of your movies is the most important aspect of our job.

 

"I had Steed Preservations transfer some, almost 20 year old,camcorder tapes to DVD. I selected the Platinum Transfer Dual Disc Set. The results were amazing. Having a customized menu at the beginning of each DVD made it easy to select the segment I wanted to watch. The quality of the transfer was great and transitions between segments were smooth and effective. It is a relief to know that my precious family videos are now in a permanent format that won't deteriorate. Thanks Steed Preservations for creating such a quality keepsake for my family."

“We have been so pleased with the video preservations you have done for our family.   The quality of each DVD is excellent, and the musical background really enhances the viewing experience. The graphics are varied and fun. The DVD's are easily played at family gatherings and enjoyed by all.

Thank you so much for your good work.”
