Media Transfers

Film to DVD transfers

Advanced Video Systems can transfer your Super 8, 16mm and 8mm home movies to DVD, preserving your most precious memories for generations. As you may or may not know, film breaks down and image quality deteriorates over time. That's why we recommend backing up everything to DVD. Not only will you be able to conveniently show your movies to friends and family, but you'll gain peace of mind knowing you have it all archived, in case something happens and the original reels are no longer useable. Advanced Video Systems can make multiple copies and even personalize your movies with background music, chapter titles and custom DVD cases.

  • Film Transfers to DVD - $125.00 minimum charge
    Includes first 200' of film order.
    (8mm, Super 8mm, 16mm Sound/Silent)
  • $20.00 for each additional 50' unit.

Photo/Slide to DVD transfers

Are you having a celebration, like a wedding, bar/bat mitzvah, or graduation? Are you holding a wake or memorial service for a loved one who has passed? For some of life's biggest moments - happy or sad - people want to share their memories from photos and slides. Advanced Video Systems can assist you with our Photo/Slide to DVD transfer service. Bring in your old photographs, old slides or even digital photos on a CD or thumb drive. Advanced Video's skilled editors will compile these photos and slides into a meaningful memory video that celebrates the life of your loved one, with animated transitions, background music, and titles. Multiple copies are available as well.

  • Photo/Slide Transfers to DVD - $195.00 minimum charge
    Includes first 100 photos and slides with standard transitions.
  • Additional photos and slides billed as follows:
    101-199: $1.95 each           200 and up: $1.70 each

    NOTE: All photographs and slides must be numbered and arranged sequentially (or in carousels), and all digital photographs must be renamed with 3-digit filenames (ex. 001, 002, 003...)

Record to CD transfers

A generation ago, music meant vinyl albums. Who doesn't have stacks of records tucked away somewhere, gathering dust? Advanced Video Systems can transfer your records to CD. Like film and video, records can break down and show deterioration over time - specifically through warping. Plus, record players and needles aren't indestructable and are harder to buy or repair as time goes on. The AVS Record to CD transfer service will solve that problem by preserving your memorable albums onto a custom CD.

  • Record Transfers to CD -
    78 and 45 RPM Records: $18.00 per side           33 RPM Records: $24.00 per side

Videotape to DVD transfers

Junior's first steps. Princess's ballet recital. Graduations, weddings, family reunions. You probably have stacks of videotapes sitting around the house that contain all of these special memories. However, magnetic videotape - like film - degrades and disintegrates over time and VCRs are a thing of the past! Advanced Video Systems can help. Bring in those videotapes and we can transfer them to DVD - regardless of tape format!

  • Videotape Transfers to DVD - Straight Transfer
    One hour tapes: $30.00 each           Two hour tapes: $45.00 each
  • Videotape Transfers to DVD - Transfer with Chapter Points and Menu
