| 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.

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.

"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!"

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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"

"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!"
