Media Transfers

Every film or video transfer is handled with care and attention to details. Our process involves professional grade transfers with color correction to enhance the final product. Videotapes and film can be digitally transferred to DVD for crisp clarity, easy access, and durability. We also offer audio transfers from many older audio formats.

Film to Video Transfers

Older video and audio formats can easily be converted from 8mm, Super 8, 16mm, international convertions (PAL, SECAM, NTSC), and slides to a high quality digital format of your choice (DVD, DVCAM, Mini DV) or to Betacam SP and VHS.

Audio Transfers

We can transfer your LP, cassettes, miniDiscs, and DAT recordings to audio CD with special care to your originals and enhancing your final product. Photo to Slideshow Video

 

We will digitally scan your photos for video on DVD or computer files on CD. We use the best scanners and computer equipment to create a professional slideshow.

 

We can duplicate your project in a wide variety of digital media recording formats. We can use your analog or digital media masters or produce them for you in our full service Digital Video and Audio Recording Studios.

 

Digital Amarillo reserves the right to decline any order due to content or images that Digital Amarillo deems inappropriate.

 

We are all familiar with the problem of ever-changing technology. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent by companies and individuals to create "content" using one media or technology, only to have that technology "disappear" after what seems like shorter and shorter timeframes.

 

Whatever happened to all those sophisticated multi-projector slide shows? The VHS videos on the company's corporate capabilities? The 8mm or even 16mm movies that need to be sent to the corporate archives, but can no longer be played because the equipment is either broken or unavailable?

 

With new technologies such as DVD and CD-ROM becoming the norms for the presentation and sharing of business information, you may want to upgrade your message without investing a lot of money in producing "new" content. At Digital Amarillo, we can help you with this issue. We can transfer information, graphics, or audio/video from any of the following formats to any other, quickly, inexpensively, and in a timely fashion.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How long will it take?

Typically one to two weeks but we can offer a rush service if needed.

 

What about bad sections of the film?

We do our best to do color correction and enhance the film if necessary.

 

What is the best way to preserve my movies?

We recommend transferring them to DVD or DVCAM digital tape which serves as a digital archive master.

 

How do I get started?

It is a good idea to number each reel in the order that you would like to transfer them. Think about what else we can do to enhance your videos like graphics, titles, background music genre, narration, editing, etc.

How much does it cost?

To convert digital media from vhs to dvd it takes the time to copy the vhs. Real run time. Then the file gets rendereded into a digital format. This process takes about a third of the time that the tape did to copy. Then it has to be filtered then burned at a high definition. This process takes about the time of the tape again. The cost of this process has been broken down in to the following formula.

 

  • $50.00 for the setup of the equipment and rendering station.
  • $10.00 per tape or vhs.
  • $ 5.00 per DVD used.
