What makes us so special?
DVD Infinity was the first company in Australia to provide professional consumer and corporate video to DVD transfers and later video to Blu-ray disc or Digital Files. When we started we had to import the equipment, explain what a DVD was and sell our own players. Since then, we have transferred enough videotape that if unraveled and placed end to end would stretch around the circumference of the Earth. For you, this means more experience than any other company and a better quality result.
We provide the highest quality Video to DVD/Blu-ray productions or Digital Files from a wide range of videotapes, VHS, Betamax, video8, MiniDV, Betacam and more. And of course we can organise digital video from your iPhone and hard drive cameras. We put a maximum of 100 minutes per DVD to ensure that quality is not diminished(Blu-ray 150 mins).We take time and careful attention to important details like cutting blank tape, static, TV and unviewable footage to ensure a finished product that delights from the first playback.
We maintain your video in its native format whether PAL or NTSC making it accessible wherever you are.
To ensure THE absolute highest quality at every step of the process we utilise:

Not Your Ordinary Video Transfer
This is not your ordinary “no-care” transfer. For each of the tape formats we have a variety of decks to choose from. For VHS for example, we have over 30 different professional decks (rather than the single consumer deck you may find elsewhere with competitors). Also, depending on the tape brand, its condition and the camera that it was recorded in, one deck will provide better results over another. We will use the best deck for your tape. Hence, you end up with a better result.
Cut the Stuff Nobody Wants
Over 90% of consumer video has blanks, static and gaps as well as areas where the camera cap has been left on, the camera has been facing the ground or even TV recording left in between. This appears throughout the video. By cutting out the bits that absolutely nobody wants, the viewing experience is substantially enhanced. We add event chapter points (e.g. where the footage changes from a children's birthday to a ski trip, or where wedding event at ceremony, reception, etc) for easy searching. We pay attention to ensure that tapes spanning multiple discs do not cut mid event (i.e. in the middle of children blowing out birthday candles or a couple taking their wedding vows). We create a high quality personalised disc and cover with a title and even a picture of your choice. Something that you will want to pass down from one generation to the next. You can transfer multiple tapes per disc if desired. You benefit by having something you will want to watch again and again. You can even design your own artwork (to our specifications) and for a minimal extra cost we can print up a disc and cover.

Our Popular Packages
|
This is a very popular package. We can output in other formats to suit you such as, editable files AVI, QuickTime or compressed to MPEG4 (and many more) on your hard drive. Call us to discuss. Using the most professional broadcast quality equipment available (no DVD recorders or direct transfer low end automated processes) and highly specialised technicians, we digitally optimise your video signal reducing noise and distortion before transferring to file. Please note, you can have both DVDs and digital file packages at the same time for an additional cost. Our signature DVD Infinity digital files transfer includes:
AVI or MOV / QuickTime files are very popular for editing but very large (you need to have the software and time to edit of course). MPEG4 is compact, user friendly for your iPad, Android devices, and can even be played directly on late model smart TVs. They can be easily uploaded to YouTube to share with family and friends, also an excellent choice to store in your local network (NAS) and viewable anytime in your house via smart TV or network media player. We can of course provide any other professional formats on request. |
