DVCAM Transfer Tape Digitizing Service

When we digitize (convert) videotapes, we can create a variety of different types of final products - Pro-Res .mov files, Blu-Ray, DVDs or MP4 video files.  MP4 files are just digital video files (MP4 is the current standard for digital video files).  We professionally transfer them to USB flash drive or external hard drive. Each tape creates an individual video file, sometimes additional files depending on lengths and breaks in the video.  You can watch them on most any computer, tablet or most TVs.  To play back on a TV, you would plug the USB drive into the port on the back or side of the TV. They can also be used for editing in consumer and professional video editing systems.

Professional HDV Digitizing Service HDCAM, DVCpro HD Tape Transfer Service

HDV, HD-CAM and DVCAM HD Pro are high-definition video recording formats. These formats use the smaller MiniDV tapes and medium sized DVCAM tapes.

HDV is able to produce a high definition image by compressing the amount of data imprinted on to the tape. Videographers appreciated this format because of its wide acceptance (being supported by JVC, Sony, Canon, and Sharp), low cost, small size, and high image quality.

DVCAM is a professional version of DV created by Sony. The tape is transported 50% faster. This provides better quality, but less compatibility with consumer-based products. You can expect to record up to 45 minutes of DVCAM footage on a 60 minute MiniDV tape.

Converting video recordings directly to file is convenient, reliable, and easier than ever. Video cassettes are becoming obsolete. Players are hard to find, and soon will be gone forever. Don’t wait any longer to convert your HDV tapes to digital files!
