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

VHS tapes have three different tape record modes SP (Standard Play 2 hours), LP (Long Play 4 hours) and EP (Extended Play 6 hours). Due to these options it may not be possible to fit a VHS tape on one 2 hour DVD. If your tape runs over two hours multiple DVD's will be used and there will be an additional charge of $9.99 per hour of video over the initial 2 hours.

The three possible VHS record modes also 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 firmly affix a note to each tape indicating 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.
