Our Process

The our authoring process is divided into 3 stages digitization, preparation and burning.

Digitization

The digitization process invloves capturing the signal from the video source. The most popular sources are:

1. VHS Tape
2. Hi8 Tape
3. CD-Rom
4. Mini DV Tape
5. DV Tape

We do convert many more formats so please contact us with any special requirements.

The signal source is captured directly to Mpeg2 format (DVD format). The signal is digitally enhanced, colour corrected and the source audio levels are adjusted. This is digital remastering and probably the biggest benefit in using MediaVision DVD to preserve your memories. We use the best in capture equipment in the Matrox RTX100 pro series capture card and the latest in Pentium technology for the motherboard and processor units.

Preperation

The captured file is then viewed to make sure that it meets our stringent quality control standards and imported into our DVD authoring software. The content is then split into chapters and a MediaVision menu is prepared if one has been purchased. The esultant files are now ready for the burn process.

Burn Process

Our burn process can burn in both DVD standards namely DVD+R and DVD-R. This makes sure that our product is 100% compatible with all players unlike DVD recorders which have many incompatibilities.
