the near future when your video camera or video tape player needs to be repaired? You'll most likely replace
it with a digital camera and a DVD player. Let us stop the clock and digitally transfer your
video tape to DVD before they and the technology that made them are gone forever.

At Digital Express we record at Standard Play SP speed
only, due to the reduced video quality and VCR deck incompatibilities arising
from speed changes using LP and EP Modes. If you are converting more than 60
minutes of video tape to MiniDV tape you will require additional
MiniDV tapes. Example, you have a VHS video tape that was recorded using SP mode for a total of
120 minutes,
you will need 2 (60 minute) MiniDV tapes at $24.95 ea.

Options &
Add-ins for Video tape
Video Editing: - Requests
to 'edit-out or
edit-in' certain parts of a video tape will have
an additional video editing charge of $5 for each edit.
Normal editing, such as capturing the entire video or a specific part of the
video from your one video tape is made without additional fees - but editing out
certain parts of the video tape or adding in certain parts from another video tape
is considered as video editing. Our rate for video editing is $5 for each
additional edit that is to be used for your project. Example, you are sending in
two video tapes that are going to be used for your DVD project. The
first video tape has 60 minutes of video on the tape and you want to transfer all
60 minutes, normal editing (first
video tape) no additional charge. The second video tape has 60 minutes of video on the tape and you
want to transfer all 60 minutes,
this is an additional video tape and has an added video edit fee of $5 . The project has a total of
120 minutes of video to be transferred to DVD. Add it all up and you get $49.95 flat rate
for up to 120 minutes, plus the added
$5 for video
editing equals $54.95.
Photos,
35mm Slides & Negatives, and Digital Pictures
These are great times to have those old photographs, 35mm Slides or negatives,
or even those newer digital pictures added in, for an additional $0.75 each. A
plus for added content to your video production.
Normal hold time during the show for still
pictures is 8 seconds each.
Video tape
Movie Conversion - If you are transferring your video tape to DVD and also want
a digital movie file, for your website or emailing to friends &
family, (QuickTime®,
RealMedia™, or Windows Media). A flat rate of $24.95 will cover up
to 60 minutes of conversion, $0.43 per minute thereafter. See our
format conversion page for further details.
Custom
Music -
The addition of music to the background of a video tape
that has no audio brings the full experience to your DVD production. Some people
had transferred 8mm movie films to VHS tape years ago without any music and have
sent us the tape to transfer to DVD and add music. We offer the placement of royalty free music tracks throughout the
entire production for no additional charge. Please see our
music track page for further information.
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 up to 60 minutes of music to your production, and $0.33 per minute thereafter.
