OPTION 1: $1 per video minute

DATA DVDs

Includes the conversion of your video to computer files that are provided on a data DVD. Each disc contains about 18 minutes of AVI or MOV video (or a good quantity of MP4 files). This option is higher because your videos need to be divided and authored to discs. We only recommend this option if you are sending in 1–4 tapes or short video files to be converted.

OPTION 2: 50 cents per video minute

EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE

Includes the conversion of your video to computer files that are provided on an external hard drive. You may either send in an empty drive of your own for free, or we can work with you to choose a good drive and purchase it on your behalf to use for your project. We strongly recommend this option if you are sending in 5 tapes or more.

HARD DRIVE OPTION 1: SEND IT IN FOR FREE!

You may send a blank drive along with your tapes and order form. This option is 100% free! The only other cost in your project is the 50-cent per video minute charge.

Ensure that your drive has a large enough capacity for your project. (When in doubt, buy a larger drive.) Also, please only send blank drives that do not contain any files. Timeless DVD is not liable for damage to pre-existing files while your drive is with us. See the Convert Video to AVI FAQ for more.

HARD DRIVE OPTION 2: WE PURCHASE IT

We can purchase an external drive for use in your project. The drive's cost will be included in your total cost.

We work with you to select a drive that will work for your needs and priced affordably. Timeless DVD only purchases drives from reputable sellers and always looks for the best available price. You also may ask us to purchase a specific external drive for your analog video to digital project. Just let us know the make and model.

TURNAROUND TIME

2–3 weeks for one or a few tapes (excluding shipping).
3–4 weeks for 3–4 videotapes (excluding shipping).
4+ weeks for transfer of 5 or more tapes, depending upon your specific project. Every large project is different when you convert to MOV file or convert to AVI format.

Video convert turnaround time is an estimate, and is always dependent upon your project's complexity and size, our current workload, and the time of the year.

RUSH ORDERS for Camcorder to Computer

A rush order is a video file conversion that is needed within 1 week or less. We can usually transfer video to computer for one or two tapes within 1 week for a 20% rush fee in addition to the total cost.

For more complex projects, contact us with your needs and we will advise as to what timeframe is doable. Rush video services always depend upon our current workload and ability to meet your exact project and deadline.
