Transfer your family videotapes to DVD now, while you still can. Videotapes degrade and become unplayable over time, even if the tape is not played on a regular basis. Don’t wait until your videotapes are too old to view and backup.
Better Pictures provides the highest quality video transfer using the latest image enhancement and filtering technology (including digital noise reduction and image stabilization).
There is a significant difference in the quality of the video transferred to DVD depending on the type of equipement used. Our professional equipment provides a superior quality transfer in comparison to Direct to DVD consumer equipement used by many companies.

Would you like to edit your video on your computer, archive your video ready for future video mediums, place your video on an internet site or mobile phone? Once your video is converted we can provide your video files in many formats including:
AVI files: These files are also ideal for archiving and editing video with minimal compression . Most popular PC video editors support AVI. (1 hr of video is approx 14 GB therefore these files are commonly transferred to external hard drives.)

Windows Media Video (.WMV)
