What is Home Video to DVD Transfer? "Home Video to DVD Transfer" means we can copy your cherished Home Video memories and transfer that footage to DVD-Video for viewing on most home DVD Players. Which players? If you ever videotaped any events you consider valuable, there may still be time enough to preserve them for future generations. Videotapes of any format degrade much faster than most people realize because of their magnetic composition. Americans own about 70 million video cameras. As they capture their priceless memories to videotape there is no guarantee that those images and sounds will even last long enough for the next generation to enjoy. Now there is a low cost and effective way to preserve those Home Videos, transfer them to DVD-Video. Preserve engagements, weddings, anniversaries, children's growing up memories, family reunions and much, much more. Don't let those priceless video memories fade away into "magnetic oblivion", Transfer them to DVD right away. What is the Resolution and Quality of these Home Video to DVD Transfers? At Musevox Multimedia we transfer video to DVD in high quality MPEG2 format. The video signal remains at a full 720 X 480 pixels and 30 frames per second. No frames are dropped during DVD recording. For TV viewing the DVDs will play as high as 525 lines of resolution, 60 fields/sec, depending upon the TV system used for playback. The audio is recorded in either PCM stereo or mono, depending on the original sound on the videotape being transferred. If the stereo that was recorded sounds bad, we switch to mono which usually cleans up the sound. The picture quality of the original home videotape, meaning the picture lines and colors are generally improved during transfer to DVD. How long do DVDs last compared to Videotapes? The DVD-video format has a minimum life expectancy of at least 100 years. Some people in the DVD Transfer industry claim that a DVD will only last 2 to 5 years. I transferred my own Family Movie Film to DVD-R back in December of 2000 and it still plays, looks and sounds GREAT! While it is true that the MPEG2 video format used for DVD does not look as good or as sharp as an original MiniDV Master Videotape, I have seen way too many MiniDV Videotapes that customers brought/sent that had been "Eaten" and destroyed in their MiniDV Camcorder. Also, MiniDV Videotapes are still a Magnetic Medium and will fade away. Unlike videotapes, DVDs are not recorded as a magnetic medium but rather by using a tiny laser, burning microscopic pits into the recording surface that lies underneath a protective clear coating. Most videotapes of any format will not be playable 20-30 years after first being recorded. The earlier your Home Videotapes get transferred to DVD-Video, the better quality the original video images/sound are likely to be. A videotape wears out a little every time it is played. A DVD can be played over and over without wearing it out at all because, while playing, nothing actually ever touches the playable part of a DVD except the light from the laser. According to the DVD Industry, 100-year-old DVD-Video will play as well as a newly recorded DVD.
