Digital Tapes
As a professional film production company we use the highest quality equipment to transfer your footage. Smaller transfer companies will simply plug a camcorder into a PC through a standard AV cable which will result in picture quality loss. We use top-of-the-range DVCAM decks through a firewire system in our New Xeon Mac editing suite which retains optimum picture & sound quality. You can now get your HDV (high-definition) camcorder tapes transferred to a standard definition DVD so you can watch them on your normal DVD player.

Old Analogue Tapes
To gain best results from old analogue camcorder tapes, we run these through our digital remastering system. Whilst converting the analogue signal to a digital one, the computer restores and improves the both the picture and sound.

Camcorder to DVD - Transfer info for Video8 & Hi8
This system has always been reserved for remastering and restoring valuable archive footage for major TV studios and museums. However, over the last few years we have been inundated with demand for this service by members of the public, so 2 years ago launched this system making all the amazing features of this kind of transfer available to everyone.

The transfer digitally remasters and repairs your film through our professional editing suites before it is output to DVD. Results do vary depending on the quality you send us, and what has caused the problems. some films experience a small improvement, whilst others are breathtakingly better.

Customers are astonished to find that films that jump to the point of being unwatchable due to tracking problems and stretched, saggy tapes, can become viewable film once more. Worn out and degraded tapes which have washed out colours, orange skin tones, and white fuzzy flecks, can be improved.
Depending on the source film, results can differ from job to job. If you have a large collection of film to transfer, why not sample the service on one tape to see just how much we can do for you.
