Video Transfer Service – Video Cleaning

Our video transfer process employs an advanced filtration system that reduces noise, minimizes jitter, and ensures perfect frame synchronization. Automatic color and exposure correction is performed to enhance the quality of the video during the transfer process.

Audio Quality

To maximize the quality of the audio we either leave it uncompressed or convert it to Dolby Digital. Our process employs locked audio, which sustains consistent audio synchronization, regardless of segment length.

Source Tape Formats

We accept VHS, S-VHS, VHS-C, Betamax, Video-8, Hi-8, Digital-8, MicroMV and Mini-DV.
We also can handle the professional Betacam SP, U-Matic SP (3/4"), DVCam, HD MiniDV and DVC-Pro formats.

Our DVDs are produced on a one-tape to one-DVD basis, and each DVD can hold up to 2 hours of video.

Final Product

After your videos are digitized we perform quality checks to make sure that the video and audio operate in perfect sync and at the correct gain. We then burn to high quality DVD-R discs that are compatible with almost all DVD players.

By default we set up your DVD for auto-play. Chapter points are inserted at regular time increments so you can quickly advance or retreat to any point in the movie.

We do not install any copyright protection, so you are free to make copies of your DVD, provided you have a computer equipped with a DVD burner and appropriate DVD burning software.

You can edit your video by copying the *.VOB files to your hard drive and renaming them to *.MPG.

However, if you plan to do any serious editing it is best to use full qulity digital video files ("uncompressed" AVI or QuickTime). We can provide these on an external hard drive that you would provide. Note that uncompressed files occupy ~15GB per hour of video.

Note: You are welcome to send us your own hard drive or have one drop-shipped to our production facility. However, if it is formatted as FAT32, we must re-format the drive (AVI & QT files are too large) with resulting loss of previous data.

We use dedicated commercial equipment complete with noise reduction and image stabilization when we transfer home movies to DVD. Our process produces exceptional video quality. Digital Pickle can perform professional video editing and DVD authoring to your requirements. We are able to handle high volume video archiving projects and transfer video tapes to DVDs as well as uncompressed video to external hard drives or mini-DVs in AVI, Quicktime Pro-Res, or Quicktime MPEG4 (H.264) video formats.
We Digitize Movie Film – convert film to DVD. We convert 8mm, Super 8mm, and 16mm film using high fidelity digital transfer technology. Our all-digital aerial-capture process produces uniform lighting, unmatched clarity, and stunning color depth. Your film is converted to digital video in the form of full quality digital video files and/or a playable DVD disc that is compatible with almost all DVD players.
We digitize and convert records and transfer to CD any audio cassettes, reel-to-reel audio tapes and DAT and output the digital audio files to high quality audio CDs. We also offer additional track separation and audio cleanup services to reduce noise, hiss, and to normalize audio levels for audio cassette to CD transfer. When we convert records the same service is available.
We scan and digitize photos, slides, and negatives of any format using high-end Kodak HR-500 commercial image scanners that produce unmatched image quality. Our expert digital imaging technicians spend time with each individual frame to ensure ideal exposure, focus, color fidelity, cropping, and orientation. We create files suitable for online photo sharing as well as CDs or DVDs with image files and folders.
We can perform digital retouching on any photo or digital image. Image retouching is performed by our expert technicians manually using Adobe Photoshop. Since photo touch up requirements vary greatly, we quote our work on an hourly basis and most projects take much less than an hour. Photo Editing is often requested to remove or add objects or people to an original image resulting in a very different final image. This work is also quoted on an hourly basis for the same reasons as photo touch up.
