FAQ
How do I send in my media?
Please pack your media in a sturdy box and send them to 1stopdigital
Suite 109,1731A Mallory Lane, Brentwood, TN 37027.
Please include your contact information in the box including return shipping address,
email & phone.If your media is digital and relatively small, use the media transfer
link under the resources tab to transfer the media.Your media will be returned to you
in the same box along with the CDs or DVDs.
Can you just convert cetain parts on my video to DVD?
Yes, we can edit your video to your specifications by capturing the video into a computer
and editing the video. Our editing rates are $50.00 per hour. For normal conversions
(direct to disc transfers) we do not view the video, except to ensure that the transfer is
taking place and for checking the quality of the finished DVD.
How can I ensure the confidentiality of my video?
We do not convert any adult content. This includes nudity & pornography.
The only exception to this rule are videos of childbirth, legal or abuse cases and
training videos for medical institutions. By request we will make sure that the video
is only handled by a female worker for childbirth videos. We do not view the entire
videos and just view small scetions to ensure that the conversion has taken place and
to check the quality of the DVD, unless of course we are editing the video.
We have handled videos for legal & law enforecement cases and have maintaned the
strictest confidentiality.
What type of quality can I expect from my DVD?
A number of factors impact the quality of the DVD. First, the quality of the recording
on the original media will not substantially improve. Secondly the duration of time on the
media will impact the quality. For Example a 2 hour DVD will have less video quality than a
DVD with just 1 hour of content. Note however, VHS & Betamax quality is already at the 2 hour
quality level and will not improve at the 1 hour level. Our equipment does enhance the signal
and will marginally improve a mediocre picture.
Can you convert multiple tapes to single DVD or CD ?
Yes, we can convert multiple tapes to a single DVD or audio cd but with some restrictions.
First both video tapes must be less than an hour each and both audio cassettes must be less than
80 minutes combined. Please note that the changing of tapes is done on the basis of time and not
the completion of the video. We do not have people watching the video to ensure its completion.
Also everything on a tape will be converted to DVD unless we edit the video. Requests such as
"take the Christmas video from tape1 and the soccer video from tape 2" can be done but at editing
prices which are $60.00 per hour. This does not apply for film conversions which are edited in a
computer to start with.
