Digital Video Details

We encode your video clip(s) to a CD or DVD disc. Depending on the format you are converting to, we can only fit a certain length of digital video onto a disc (see formats below). We can also put your video on a USB flash drive you can easily use and share!

Allow 24 hours to complete a project. Rush service is available at an additional cost. Major editing is performed at $100 per hour. If source video is on BetaCamSP tape add $5 setup.

Digital Video Formats

We offer several ways to encode your video, such as:
  • Presentation WMV-- You can use it in presentations in Powerpoint. Your video will play with quality that nearly equals your source video file. We can fit up to 4 hrs on a disc.
  • Universal MPEG-1 or MPEG-2-- The quality is good. The main advantage to this older format is that it will play on most computers and on most operating systems. We can fit up to 5 hrs on a disc.

  • Computer AVI/MOV-- We encode your video to a file you can edit on a MacIntosh or PC computer. Only 19 minutes will fit on a DVD. This advantage to this format is it is a raw file with pristine quality.

  • YouTube .H264-- We encode your video for use on the web. Your video will be compressed and sized for use with Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and other video hosting websites. We can also upload your video to YouTube for you for an additional $20.
    *YouTube does not allow a video longer than 15 minutes.
