What is this service for? We offer the "draft copy" service to help you organise your tapes into the right order and choose appropriate names for the chapter headings.
First, we transfer all your tapes to DVD, making each tape it's own chapter - so if you have 12 tapes, the DVD(s) will have 12 chapters. In between each tape, we place a distinct screen which clearly says "TAPE CHANGE" so you know that's the end of that tape, and the start of the next one.
After watching the DVD with your family, you contact us with details of the exact order you want us to follow, deleting any tapes you don't want included. At this stage you can also give each chapter a unique title for the DVD menu, and even add things like on-screen titles, dedications and messages for just £2.50
Here is an example: Mrs Smith has given us 8 betamax tapes but doesn't know what's on them. We sent her a Draft DVD to watch, to which she emails us the following info:

We now have everything we need to create the final DVD in the right order, with appropriate titles for each chapter.
