How do you enhance my video
There are several processes that we can do before, during and after the transfer of your videos to DVD, CD, MPEG or AVI CLIPS.
There are also a few neat gadgets and tricks we use so that we optimise the quality of your video. There are too many to list here but we have detailed a few of them below.

Why Enhance my Videos ?
You will only transfer your videos once, so why not add these few little touches to have supreme quality. Most video tapes are analogue and DVD is a digital format. Once your videos are transferred to digital you will never have any further loss of quality. No one knows what the next format will be but one thing we do know is that it will be digital.
Whether it is a holographic projection or an electronics implant that allows you to view them as if you were there, it will be digital. Everything from a PC to a chip in your sunglasses to a chip in your mobile phone is just a carrier to store digital files. If you get this video transfer from analogue to digital done correctly you will have video footage that can be viewed for hundreds of years, however it may be viewed.
The cost of this service covers all the enhancements listed below for one hour of video tapes. If you have four hours then simply put the amount as four. If you are on a tighter budget and just put the amount as one for the four hours of video footage, we will use this time on the most effected parts of your video tapes to get the optimum results. We will go to great lengths to use the extra time purchased to your best advantage. Please do not purchase more time than there is video footage, we are not miracle workers there is only so much that we can achieve. One hour of time per hour of video tapes is more than enough to get the best results.

What Video Enhancements do you do ?
Video Evaluation
Your videos are watched by a senior technician who will asses and review your videos. He will not contact you to let you know what the assessment was. He will just work out what adjustments need to be made before the transfer begins and the best method for the actual transfer to DVD. All of this is then done without you being disturbed.
Before any of these adjustments are made we clean your videos. We will remove virtually all the dust and debris from the tape. We can not remove any specs or hairs which have been recorded onto the video.
To clean your video tapes we use “sticky roller reels” more formally called Particle Takeoff Rollers. Each video tape receives a fresh set of two sticky rollers which pull the dust, hairs and other micro debris from the video tape without damaging the actual magnetic tape. Due to the gentle pulling effect that is achieved, there will be no scratches on the surface of the video tape. Our sticky rollers typically remove 70-80% of the debris in a single session. Some debris may remain if it is embedded into the coating of the video tape. This is almost impossible to remove and we never attempt to remove these debris as it may damage the video tape. The odd glitch here and there is better than the risk of damage.
We never employ the cheaper wet system tape cleaning used by most companies as these use chemicals which can weaken or even strip the video tape of its protective coating. This could lead to scratches on the video tape as it is being played. This is not so worrying as you will probably not use the tapes again, however what we found is that these fluids remove chemicals from video tape each time they are played which coated our video heads. After transferring so many videos to DVD such build up over time reduced the quality of the video and caused more head cleaning sessions. Video-to-DVD's dry system is a major benefit and sets us apart from our competitors in the video conversion market
In summary you will only ever need to transfer your videos once so if you can afford this little extra cost then we would suggest you order this video enhancement. Having your videos transferred from analogue to digital will secure that your video archives and family movies will be preserved for many generations.
