your own archival or editing purposes they can be purchased for the additional
disc's that will be required to save these files. We can also provide you with
an external USB hard drive with these files or you can send in your own external
USB hard drive and have these files saved to the drive. Please contact us to
discuss the requirements, compatibility issues and fees associated with this
option.

videotape that has no audio brings the full experience to your DVD production.
We offer the placement of royalty free music tracks throughout the entire
production for a nominal fee. If you
choose to use your own custom music we can use your CD’s, audio
cassettes, or vinyl records. A flat rate of $19.95 will cover the
transfer of up to 60 minutes of digital music to your production. If you are
sending in analog music, such as audio cassette tapes, reel to reel tapes or
records, there are additional fees for converting the music to digital format
before we can use it for your production. Please see are
