DVD Conversions Price List

	Turning from LaserDisc side A to side B In order to keep the cost down, we use automated side changing. The screen goes black for a few seconds while the sides are changed. If this short pause is objectionable, it can be eliminated.  In order to do that, we must treat each side of the LaserDisc as a separate "source" (at $10 for each additional source). To accomplish that, on the order form, select an "Additional Source" for $10. Also, in the Special Instructions box of the order form tell us to eliminate the pause between sides.
	Still Frame LaserDiscs and Interactive LaserDiscs We do not convert Still Frame LaserDiscs and Interactive LaserDiscs.  These specialized LaserDiscs require a frame-accurate conversion and a frame-accurate DVD player.  At any rate, there are no consumer frame-accurate DVD players on the market.  Please do not send for conversion Still Frame LaserDiscs or Interactive LaserDiscs.
	Karaoke LaserDiscs We do not specialize in Karaoke conversions.  However, we may still be able to convert some Karaoke LaserDiscs.  We will have to produce a separate DVD for each sound track selected (one DVD for full soundtrack, one DVD for no vocals).
	LaserDiscs with alternate soundtracks At this price level, we are not able to produce a DVD with multiple audio tracks.  What we do (and is more cost efficient than re-engineering a DVD with multiple sound tracks) is to make separate DVD's for each version of the LD: One DVD with the main soundtrack, another DVD with the alternate soundtrack.  Some LaserDiscs have two separate soundtracks on the two Stereo channels: one soundtrack on the Left channel, one soundtrack on the Right channel.  We are able to convert to DVD exactly in the same configuration.  It will be then up to you to separate the channels on your own playback equipment.

Very Frequently Asked Question:

I am not sure the exact length of the tape.  How can I order? Answer:  If you do not know the length of the tape, it is not a problem. It is important that you familiarize yourself with our pricing structure.  Place the order based on your best estimate.  In the "Special Instructions" box of the Order Form, tell us to "make DVD of the correct length for the tape".  We will determine the length of the tape before we make the DVD and will make the DVD of the appropriate length. After we make the DVD we will run the Order Form again and charge the correct rate, depending on the actual length.  In this type of situation it is best to use a Credit Card for payment in order that we do not have to hold your order.

Will I be able to edit video from your DVD's?

Answer:  We do not encrypt our DVD's.  You may be able to import video directly from the Video DVD's if your video editing software can import video from DVD's. If in doubt, order our Test Video DVD.   Alternatively, you may order a Data DVD Copy. The Data DVD Copy is specially produced in a very high quality and highly compatible format: MPEG-4.  ATTENTION: we do not provide any technical support, warranties or assistance for editing the Video or Data DVD's we produce. Please read complete info about the Data DVD Copies.

NOTE:

Please try to make sure you send us tapes in formats we support, and in working condition.  If we set up to record a tape and it turns out the tape is in the wrong format or blank or damaged or unsuited for producing a DVD, we will not make a DVD.  Instead, we will charge a "Setup Fee" of $14.25 plus return shipping and return the tape unprocessed.
