2. The digitizing method and process:

Our service and workflow steps follows the buyers unique needs as recorded on our worksheet.

VHS, Vhs-c, Video8, Hi8, Digital8, miniDV:

First, we create a separate data storage folder for every customer. Then we start the capture software, set the default saving folder and will rewind the inserted cassette. After rewinding, we start the recording with capture software and start the playback on a cassette player. If the recorded program finishes, but the cassette does not, we wait ten minutes before stopping the capture on computer. The next step is cutting the recorded video. We split them into 90 to 100 minutes parts, we add 5 minutes long chapters and the titles recorded on the cassettes. Lastly we burn the video on to DVD, or finalize the video file on the Hard Drive depending on buyers demand.

Magnetic cassette, vinyl disc, magnetic roll transfer process:

As written above with a difference that we place the cassette/disc/reel to cassette player/vinyl player/magnet band player, and we will make sure the signal is at normal strength. At the end of the process we divide the recorded audio signal to tracks, we process noise filtering, and burn on a CD. We print the cassette title on the CD, and check whether is there any fault on the record.

Slide, photo scanning:

As written above, with a difference that we use a scanning program to scan photographs. After setting a default folder, we prepare the glass slides: We cut out the images with frames, and the negatives will be trimmed to 6 image parts. We set the scanning resolution and set the scanning frames on computer. After finishing the scan, we put back the images to the original frames. Then the digital images will be rotated, cut, and color corrected. The final step is jpg conversion and DVD burning, or copying onto chosen hard drive. We check the disc, print the image types on it, and put it in a case.

8mm- 16mm- 35mm film transfer

After takeover, all reels will be uniquely labeled and numbered for the sake of identification. After labeling we send the reels to our film transfer studio, where the transfer completes. We fill a delivery receipt at every shipping. The cleaned, filtered raw MPG recordings shall be finished within 30 days at the latest with the unharmed reels. We create DVD menus titled by reel names, and burn them to DVD discs. We always check the DVD before giving to customer.

3. Storing of orders

Customer will get an SMS message about finishing the work and final price of his/her order. Further steps of the process will explained by our employee. If the customer will not come for his order in 30 days after receiving the SMS, our company will charge 1000 HUF daily for storage, until its leave. Our company is entitled to hold back the finished media until the payment of the storage fee.

5.Prices, VAT:

Customer agrees, that the price of the service sometimes cannot be accurately determined. Rarely final price may even be the double-triple of the default price. When digitizing is finished, Customer will be informed about the price in SMS or e-mail message.
