DIGITAL CONVERSIONS
|
Converting home videos to DVD is a great way to preserve, share and enhance those
old tapes and films that are fading away in your dresser drawers and attics. If
you want to transfer VHS to DVD, many options exist for the VHS to DVD conversion
and, if done right, the DVD's can look even better than the original VHS, VHS-C,
SVHS, Hi8, and even 8mm film reels.

FILM
|
|
It's time to clean the attic and save your family heirlooms. 8mm & Super 8mm
film deteriorates faster than any other film type.
Do not wait any longer. Surprise your family by digitizing all of your films. It
is very affordable and the longer you wait, the the more likely the film will be
further damaged.
Your family filmed these events to watch them and re-live the past... not fade and
disintegrate in the attic.
All of our transfer units are digital; your home movies are transferred from start
to finish, completely digital. This ensures the brightest, clearest and most colorful
video transfer available anywhere. Our special process provides flicker free video
transfers.
Once transfered to digital video, our powerful video computers process your digitized
film. In most cases, the process results in better than original quality. We use
only top quality, professional grade DVDs.
We record your project in the highest possible video modes. All of your original
film will be returned to you upon project completion.
You demand the best for your family and their memories and Farnsworth Video provides
superior film transfers.

VIDEO

Your video tapes are deteriorating as you read this. VHS tapes are only rated to
last for 10-15 years and they have been losing data quality since you originally
recorded them. DVD's are rated to last over 100 years.
Transfer your memories to DVD today and never again chance losing your video quality
to the element of time. We offer you two unique transfer packages, one is DVD authoring,
the other is DVD recording.
DVD recording : Is basically a straight transfer from tape, film
or photo to DVD without any editing or special menu system.
DVD authoring : In addition to the DVD Recording there is editing,
and a precise menu system to allow the user to select specific portions of the DVD
during playback.

HOW TO PREPARE
|
|
Put your films in the order you want for your final project. Many people put their
films in chronological order. Typically a family member has catalogued the dates
on the film reels. Sometimes the date is printed on the cardboard box when the film
was developed.
Number your film reels consecutively so we prepare your project to your exact specifications.
|
|
|
|
MENUS
|
|
Each film reel will be accessible on your DVD by menu chapters. The menu will consist
of a picture of the first frame of your film reel.
If you would like to add a title screen at the beginning of each film reel on your
finished DVD, please let us know. There is an additional charge for each film title.

COLOR CORRECTION

When we apply color correction to your films, the results are amazing. It is as
if your film hasn't aged at all. Our powerful computers can restore your memories
to almost the original brilliance.

We add a sentimental soundtrack to your films at no additional charge to you. This
is soothing, sentimental music, without lyrics.
