VCR to DVD |
|
 |
We care! |
 |
Your home videos and photos are some of your
most precious possessions. We realize and respect their importance
to you, and we treat them as if they were our own. Timeless
DVD is not a huge, impersonal company where your videotape
is one of hundreds. We do all our work by hand, with no automated
processes, which ensures that DVDs are finished accurately,
safely, and with that special personal touch. We take the
time to do every DVD right, so it can be given as a DVD gift
and preserved forever. So put your worries to rest: your
peace of mind is guaranteed with Timeless DVD! |

 |
We convert videos on professional
studio equipment |
We only use broadcast
decks and processors to transfer tape, including:
• |
Prosumer
video decks, which provide the highest
quality playback, clearest, picture filtering,
and noise reduction. |
• |
A time-base
corrector, which cleans the signal
to create a stable picture. |
• |
A processing
amplifier, which corrects contrast,
color, and hue in the picture. |
• |
A detailer, which
sharpens the image. |
• |
Quality control. We
keep an eye on your video when we transfer tape
to DVD so we can fix any problems. Beware of
companies who advertise their process as automated!
This means they are not paying attention to your
tape's quality. |
For extensive information on our equipment, see our
How DVD
Transfers Work page.

Customized slideshow editing |
Timeless DVD custom-edits every slideshow
for the ultimate emotional impact. We take into account
how the music matches with the photos, what transitions
should be used, and how best to present each photo
on the screen. We also employ artistic techniques such
as pans and zooms.
By contrast, many other slideshow services
use an automated process, presenting
each photo as a still image that's onscreen for
a default five seconds. They won't custom-edit the music
and use unprofessional transitions or distracting
graphics and backgrounds. Some even charge extra for
zooms and pans!
Timeless DVD believes your photo slideshow
is special and deserves personalized care. Our editing
style is guaranteed to impress your audience and evoke
both laughter and tears. |

Photo
Retouching |
|
Our photo restoration is top notch!
We optimize every photo we scan, including correcting
contrast and color, buffing out dust and scratches, and fixing
rips and creases. Mouseover the photos at the right for "before
and afters,"
then visit our Photo
Montage page for more examples. |

Professional
DVD packaging when we transfer tape |
We provide
brilliant full-color DVD covers and on-disc printing
for every DVD. We even include Amaray cases,
the same used by Hollywood. Many services
charge extra for real DVD cases, but they are always
included with a Timeless DVD order – and
we offer a variety of colors and styles too.
Plus, we only
use Taiyo-Yuden discs, which are rated
for the highest compatibility and reliability
– and they're waterproof! You are assured
that your disc is the best available!
Simply
put, few DVD companies
offer our extensive
packaging options.

Our
Design Themes |
Our DVD menu, cover,
and disc designs are our "Themes." Many of
our Themes combine a photo of your choice with one of
our designs. The entire line was developed by our own
in-house, trained graphic designer, expressly for our
customers.
Our Themes ensure that your
menu, cover, and disc match and look amazing!
Don't settle for the amateur or cookie-cutter designs
offered by most video companies. Check out the beautiful
designs available for your DVD project on our DVD
Design page. |

Samples! |
You should know what to expect from a DVD
service before you trust them with your cherished memories.
That's why we offer a Sample DVD disc showing excerpts from
our video conversion to DVD and clips of our slideshows. |
 |
For more samples of our work, see:
• Our Video
Slideshow
samples page
• Our Home Video DVD page,
which displays real DVDs we created for
customers and their comments.
We are completely open
about the services we provide and the
style of our productions. Few DVD companies make
a Sample disc available,
but we believe our high quality work
is our best advertisement! Our disc contains many samples
showing how we can transfer video from camcorder types. |
|
|
 |
All video transfer done
in-house |
We transfer from VCR to DVD and edit
slideshows right in our fully-equipped studio
in Lansdale, PA. We never ship your materials
out to an unknown facility. Be careful: a bargain DVD
service, such as those offered at local discount or drug
stores, will ship your tapes to mass-processing
facilities far away –
even to India! This is how they can keep their prices
so low. Timeless DVD believes
in on-site work for your videos' and photos' safety. |
|
 |
Personal
customer service |
We pride ourselves on providing a personal
level of customer service that larger companies can't
match. If you're mailing your videos and photos to us,
we'll let you know when they arrive. If you live
in the suburban Philadelphia area, we offer free pickup
and delivery. And if
you have any questions, we're always here to answer them
with personal e-mails (not automated!).
Timeless DVD has a small staff, which ensures
your project receives individual attention and quality
control. |
