We can convert your movie film and videos to DVD
Our company was started for the express purpose of transferring your videotapes to DVD. Whether it’s corporate videos, training videos, educational videos, surveillance videos, home videos, wedding videos, PAL format videos, or even 8 mm movie film, we can transfer it to DVD for you! (Copyrighted content will not be transferred without verifiable written consent of the copyright owner)

We hope that once you understand the benefits of transferring your videos to DVD that you will take the time to examine all the features that a DVD can offer and realize that not all DVD transfers are the same.

We took a lot of time trying to understand the advantages of DVD’s over videotapes and when we couldn’t find the software that would provide all the features that we thought were important for our customers, we developed our own. We hope that after you compare the features we offer with those other vendors offer or even with what you can produce yourself, you will choose to do business with us.


Why convert your movies and videos to DVD?
Think how much more convenient it would be to view those old movies or videos on DVD than it would be to have to connect the camcorder to the TV or drag out the old movie projector if it even works. Think how much easier it would be to find the footage you're looking for when you have printed chapter thumbnails and can jump directly to them.
Whether you are using them or not, your old movies and videos are gradually degrading. If your old movies are a link to your family history, why risk loosing it forever. If your home videos are a moving-talking chronology of your children's growing years, it is a priceless treasure that should be preserved.

DVD's will last a lot longer and can be reproduced (backed up) without degradation. The following manufacturer links claim 100 or more years of life expectancy for Pioneer and Mitsui DVD-R discs. The life expectancy of other brands may vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q How many hours of video can you put on one DVD?
A

It is possible to put up to two hours onto one DVD, however the highest video quality is obtained by keeping the DVD to 80 minutes or less. The price concious shopper will have to weigh the costs vs. quality tradeoffs along with the content of the tape in order to make a decision. When combining 20 and 30 minute tapes, lengths between one and two hours, such as 90 minutes, are also options.

Certain types of video seem to be less susceptible to the compression artifacts that are sometimes visible in the two hour DVD's. We are currently doing more research on identifying this type of video, and will share our findings when it is available. Feel free to contact us if you would like to talk to us about this issue.

Q I've placed an order, what do I do next?
A

You should receive an order confirmation email message. Simply follow the instructions contained in that email message. If you do not get email, the last page of the order process has instructions on what to do next.

Customers Are Saying...
"Using VtoDVD was a pleasure from start to finish. Their web site was easy to navigate and understand. I was extremely impressed with how fast my order was filled, and the quality of the finished DVD product was excellent. I'm already preparing to send in another video to convert. I highly recommend this company."
Brian Dygon, Boston, MA
"I was leary about sending out my wedding video. VtoDVD returned it in pristine condition along with a high quality DVD. I will use them again and refer them to my friends. The price is right and the service is great!"
Elaine, NY
"I just wanted to tell you that you did a fabulous job on my dvd. I was really impressed! I wasn't expecting cover art or section breaks or anything beyond the basics. Thanks a bunch!"
WA
"I'm actually thrilled with your product. I shopped around for a local sales person to do the job as I was concerned about loss of my original tapes in the mail, but couldn't find any competitor with as good quality a product and most wanted to charge even more money. The turn around time was incredibly fast and I loved the e-mail confirmations on the status of the DVD. I plan to send all 40 of my family home videos for conversion into a DVD library. Thanks a million."
Christine, CA
"The quality is better than we thought. We enjoyed watching old home video on a dvd. It is very convienent and fun to watch. Thanks."
CS, CT
"Dear vtodvd, I just received my 5 DVD's yesterday from my 2 VHS tapes and I am so thrilled! I will be sending more soon. Thanks for such a great job. My kids (now 18 and 15) had a great time watching the DVD's of them as children in the car the other night while traveling some distance. I loved that the DVD's played in the car's DVD player! The quality was great and well worth the cost."
vicki featherstun, CA
"You did such a brillant job. The DVD looks better than my videos did. I'm not only sending you more videos to convert to DVDs but I'm telling everyone I know about you. Thank you."
Gywneth Martin, CA
"My wife and I was smilingly surprised to see the unique and creative design of the wedding photos on the covers of the DVDs. It was a special and professional touch and the reproduction of the DVDs were excellent. We will do business again. Thanks for a Great Job,"
Jerome, GA
"Thank you VtoDVD for a very professional job. You did as you said you would, in giving me all the answers to my pre asked questions, and not trying to get more out of me by saying it would be better value to split my old Video into two DVD. You gave me the preferred option to go for the better value. Thank you for that. I would recommend your business to anyone"
Pete Hands, NC
"I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCT AND INTEND TO CONVERT ALL MY VHS AND 8mm TAPES TO DVD THROUGH THIS COMPANY"
JSG, AZ
"I really enjoyed the fact that the chapters with pictures were on the cover of the dvd. The quality of the dvd was grand too, it wasn't just one of those rewriteable ones, but a professional looking one with real chapters and a chapter outline. Thanks again for transferring my feature film to a quality dvd."
Kacee, CA
"Great doing business with these guys, and the DVD quality and thumbnails were a pleasant suprise. Thanks much."
K.M., NY
"I came across our wedding video and decided to surprise my wife and have it transferred onto DVD. I found VtoDVD's web site and Internet special and decided to give it a try, sight unseen.
We couldn't be happier with the results. Great quality, and quick service. They even print thumbnails of the chapters on the box. I've already recommended the service to several of my friends."

M.G., CA
"Truly outstanding customer service. I had obviously mislabeled our 8mm tape. Instead of going with the wrong label, Steve quickly emailed and alerted me to my error. I got the DVD and my tape back in relatively short order. I'd recommend this service to anyone."
O.M., PA
"This product excceds my expectations in terms of professionalism and quality. Each segment was painstakingly chaptered, chapters are listed with times, and the thumbnails on the cover are a fabulous plus. I am recommending this service to friends and family."
J. B. Nations, CA
"It was three weeks before Christmas and I hadn't found a place I was happy with to transfer all my precious family videos as a gift for my husband! You were, truthfully, a miracle. You were easy to understand, affordable and when I contacted you, you got back to me right away. Then, you sent me constant e-mails updating me on your progress and even called when you were unsure about a particular segment. Sending family memories off in the mail is very scary, but you made me feel very confident. Then, what I got back!!! WOW! Individual boxes with a thumbnail for the beginning of each scene - amazing!!! The ease of watching our new DVD's has brought tremendous enjoyment to our whole family. We can even take some with us and not bore a whole crowd, because we can only play the scene we want them to see. Everyone we show these to wants to know where we got them - I hope we send you tons more business, you deserve it. Thank you a million times over!!!"
Mindy, MA
"I LOVED the job VtoDVD did. I had several special requests and a time crunch for a special family heirloom; I received a phone call and Steve and Shona worked personally with me producing exactly my desired effect. Also, the tape I sent had a technical error which was caught and, after confirmation, corrected saving me all kinds of trouble. I am going to have all my regular videos converted over, too. Thank you VtoDVD!!"
Chris Johnson, St. Clair Shores MI
"Very satisfied. Fast service. Did a great job."
Robert, NJ
"My tapes were over 25 years old and I didn't know what to expect. I received special attention in that I asked for and received an appraisal of the media before I committed to order. Within a couple of days after I sent the tapes overnight express, I received an e-mail telling me what the tapes contained and advice that they could be converted successfully. Given the age of the tapes and the technology used 25 years ago, we are very pleased with the result. We have preserved precious images of our children when they were young for generations to come."
S.V., TN
"Excellent service and very good quality product, the tapes I had transferred onto DVD's are priceless!! I highly recommend VtoDVD..."
Jeff Rindskopf, CA
"My family and I have really been enjoying our DVD home movies!! Let me start by saying that we are extremely happy with the service you have provided. The way you package the DVDs makes it easy to find clips we're looking for. The quality of the DVD is excellent, and we were impressed by how quickly you sent back the DVDs. I highly recommend your company to anyone."
Lisa Ouimette, CA
"Our family was very pleased to get our old VHS tapes onto DVD's. When we received them, my college-aged daughters and their friends had an instant party watching all their childhood videos and laughing at mom's funny hair styles. I really like the nice covers provided. You can instantly tell what's on the DVD just by a glance at the pictures on the cover. Good quality, fast service. I can't wait to get all of my VHS tapes transferred!"
Karen Smith, WA
"This dvd service is fast, reliable, and does excellent quality work. Their customer service is way above average. I have had dvd's transfers done before and this has been my best experience to date. Thanks for your services. Sincerely, Eric"
Eric, TX
"VtoDVD.com provides an excellent service and is a fantastic value. I recently converted 8mm films of my daughter's first few birthdays to DVD. I can't tell you the joy of sharing these images with the family after nearly 20 years. The services they provided exceeded expectations and their customer service is second to none. They are truly a class act and are highly recommended."
Michel C., FL
"We were concerned about trusting our priceless videos to a mail order service, but VtoDVD was professional in every way. They were committed to making us a satisfied customer and they succeeded. We will definitely use them again."
Bruce and Margo Fonoroff, Potomac, MD
"Thank you very much it was brilliant I am so pleased with the DVD and my daughter is delighted. Your service was fast, good and great value - all in all excellent. I would recommend you anytime."
Wendy Penney, Campbell, CA
"We received our conversions very quickly and were amazed at the level of quality and detail that you put into the packaging and production. The photo Timelines on the exterior were unexpected and tremendously appreciated. We found that hundreds of companies were offering the same service, but you are the only person we will trust with our conversions. Excellent job Stephen!"
