Archiving & Backup

We create standards-compliant h.264 MP4 video files to ensure a high-caliber product that will work with all your modern (and future) video players. We also include a bit-for-bit backup copy of the DVD itself, so you can transcode again if technology improves - no need to dig out the old media and find an optical drive that works! Delivered on a convenient USB drive that can be copied and eventually stored in your safe deposit box. You can also confidently store your aging DVD video media, now that you safely have a redundant backup.

Professional Results

Our MP4 video files are high-quality and highly compatible with set-top boxes or mobile devices. We use 2-pass encoding to generate crisper images and smoother video playback so your MP4 videos will look better than you remember. Using modern video compression, your resulting video will take up less drive space than you might expect. See what other satisfied customers are saying about their new digital conversions!
