Our machinery, quality-improving
It is vital, that anything is on the tape, you can not make more of it, and which is not on the tape can not be backed up. To transfer the most from the tapes as a first step we play them on reliable, maintained players, then we compensate the image distortion caused by the enlogation of the tape, the small jumps and sync errors by TBC and Comb Filter.
If you want a compromise-free solution, or the record is so weak in quality it is almost unwatchable, we can transfer it with Canopus made analogue-digital converter, too. This machine is the top of the digital restoration, it makes the best in quality by its filters settable to tape errors.
We can transfer into uncompressed DV-AVI with its help, so if you would like to cut your videos at home, you can take it home in this format, as a file. We do not burn DV-AVI on DVD, we would have to cut the videos into plenty of pieces to fit into DVDs. These recordings are to be taken on hard drives, it is easier to handle and to copy on a computer. If you choose this solution, please check your hard drive’s file system to be NTFS, in the other case (FAT32) we can only copy files smaller than 4Gb.
MPEG2 recording of one hour takes 3,7 Gb,
DV-AVI recording of one hour takes 13 Gb.
