Convert Video to digital video files, and edit your video or upload it yourself! It's easy with Timeless DVD's analog to digital conversion service.

We all have "less than perfect" shots on our home videos that we would prefer to edit out. Maybe you have hours of soccer games, but few highlights. Maybe you pressed " record" a half-hour before the fireworks started. Maybe you left the camera turned on by accident and taped your feet!

But it can be difficult to get the video from your tapes onto your computer. You need a device to convert your tapes' analog signal to digital, plus an adequate graphics card and tons of hard drive space. Not to mention know-how!

Timeless DVD can help! We can transfer your video to digital AVI or MOV files, which are editable in virtually any video program. Just load the files onto your computer and you're ready to start your digital video editing! Or select MP4 as your preferred file format if you just want to quickly upload your tapes' video to YouTube, an iPad, or a similar site or device.

We can also accommodate related types of conversions. For instance, we can convert MP4 files to AVIs, which can be edited easily in most video programs. Or we can convert MPEG-2 files to MP4s so you can share them online. If you need a certain type of video conversion – just ask!

Video to Computer - what about MPEG-2 for editing?

If you want to edit your video, AVI is the standard for Windows and MOV (or Quicktime) is the best choice for Macs. Whether you convert to MOV files or AVI files, keep in mind that each hour of digital video will take up approximately 13 GB of hard drive space (or roughly 4 data DVDs).

We are often asked if we can transfer tape to MPEG-2 instead of video to DV. We can, but we do not advise it, mainly because most video editing programs do not support MPEG-2 files. In addition, MPEG-2 is a compressed file type, meaning that after it is edited, it usually has to be re-compressed. This results in a degradation of the video quality. If you want to edit video, AVI or MOV is far better choice.
