Foreign Conversions FAQs
Q.What is NTSC and PAL?
A. NTSC is the standard used in North America and most of South America. In NTSC, 30 frames are transmitted each second. Each frame is made up of 525 individual scan lines.

PAL is the predominant video standard mostly used overseas. In PAL, 25 frames are transmitted each second. Each frame is made up of 625 individual scan lines.

Q. Will you edit out large portions of video that I don't want on the DVD? A. Our transfer service is a straight transfer from one media to another. If you would like scenes removed or changed you will need to schedule an editing appointment.

Q. How much video fits on a DVD disc?
A. 2 hours at the highest quality. It’s possible to squeeze in more at the expense of video quality, but we don’t recommend it.

Q. How long will DVD's last?
A. The life span of a recorded disc depends upon such things as the properties of the materials used in the disc's construction, its manufactured quality and its physical handling and storage. The disc manufacturer we use carried out an accelerated age testing by subjecting samples of its discs to environments that are beyond those experienced under normal storage conditions. Based on their extensive age testing, they believe their discs will last about 100 years.

Q. My video tape is damaged – can I still have it transferred?
A. Yes. We can usually overcome the more common types of physical damage like broken shells or creased/twisted tape with no problems. We may not be able to recover everything on the tape but we try to rescue the undamaged sections. There is an additional charge for this service.

Q. Will you work on my copyrighted video?
A. If you are the copyright holder, yes. Or, if you can get the written permission from the copyright holder, then yes, we can help you. Otherwise, the threat of legal prosecution prevents us from being able to work on copyrighted material.

Q. How long does it take to convert my video to DVD?
A. Generally, from the time we receive your video, it takes 2-3 business days for us to create your DVD. If you send a large quantity of tapes, we will require additional time.
