Film to DVD Transfers
As you may or may not know, film breaks down and image quality deteriorates over time. Advanced Video Systems can transfer your Super 8, 16mm and 8mm home movies 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, preserving your most precious memories for generations even after the original reels are no longer useable. Advanced Video Systems can make multiple copies and even personalize your movies with background music and chapter titles.
Videotape to DVD Transfers
They say we learn from history, and if history has taught us one thing, it's that leg warmers are not really as fashionable as people think they are. Remember this and other nostalgic fashion miststeps with a glimpse into your past. While those VHS memories might be something you'd rather forget, your fade and your fads should never be lost.
We transfer from all tape formats to DVD, including Video8, Hi-8, Digital 8, VHS, Betacam, Betamax, VHS-C, ¾", and Mini-DV.
Photo/Slide to DVD Transfers
We digitize and restore your old photos and slides so you can share them with family and friends online, or at special events like wedding parties and family reunions. Our editors can even create a custom DVD montage of all your pictures with background music and captions.
Records and Cassettes to CD Transfers
A generation ago, music meant vinyl albums or audio cassette tapes. Who doesn't have stacks of records or tapes tucked away somewhere, gathering dust? Advanced Video Systems can transfer your records and tapes to CD. Like film and video, records and tapes can break down and show deterioration over time - specifically through warping, stretching or breaking. Plus, record players and cassette decks aren't indestructable and are harder to buy or repair as time goes on.
