A DVD will hold 2 hrs. of high quality video. We do not recommend adding more than 2 hrs. of video because the video needs to be compressed which seriously degrades the quality. The final 2 hour DVD video will be of slightly better quality than the original VHS-C tape you provide.

VHS-C tapes were introduced in 1982 as a portable version of the VHS tape. VHS-C tapes have similar audio and video quality as VHS and can hold from 30 minutes to 90 minutes of video.

The different VHS-C record modes makes it difficult to combine multiple tapes onto one 2 hour DVD. If you are certain of the length of your video(s) we will combine tapes at an additional charge of $4.99 per tape. Please rubber band together the tapes you need combined and affix a note to each tape with the length in hours/minutes.

A basic video transfer to DVD will be in a format best suited for playing on a traditional DVD player attached to a television. We do offer a service that can provide you with digital files that are simple to copy and paste to a computer for your home editing projects. Please click on the .avi/mpeg button for more information.

Your final DVD product will be in consumer grade resolution. Due to the high price and new evolving technology we do not recommend transferring your videos to the new high definition or HD video format. Some newer DVD players will "up-convert" the output signal to 1080p via HDMI cable, but the original DVD will be in standard 720 x 480 resolution.

Our DVD-R discs will play on almost every newer DVD player on the market.
