Brismedia offers the highest quality transfer to digital available. The DV-AVI format offers the benefits of being usable on both Windows PC’s and Apple Mac and as its not a heavily compressed format like Mpeg2 or DIVX.  It is also a far more responsive (no catch up delays) digital file format for video editing and offers the best  quality. The downside of DV - AVI is the file size which is about 15 gigabytes per hour for standard definition footage. To ensure you can view / edit the DV- AVI format here is the link to our sample file  Click here. (Files are on our older website copyvhstodvd.com.au) Please note, we do not supply or support how to edit digital video files as this is such a huge topic. So please make sure you are happy with the sample file. The sample link also has a Mpeg2 file. I only recommend this for watching not editing, it’s a very similar format to the standard DVD format. Pricing is the same as our normal transfer to DVD format, unless you only require it to on a USB Hard Drive. Then the price is less & we can optimise the quality.. ring for details. PRICING: The cost to transfer to DV-AVI  file format is based on the actual amount of vision on the tape not the tape length as not all tapes are full and it may have been recorded in long play mode. (* NB: there is a minimum invoice price of $29 for tape to AVI transfers) 1 tape with up to   60 minutes of vision is $18 1 tape with up to 120 minutes of vision is $24 1 tape with up to 180 minutes of vision is $29 1 tape with up to 240 minutes of vision is $32 USB HARD DRIVE REQUIRED: We supply your video files on a USB hard drive (not USB key/stick) as the file sizes are to large for DVD's. You can supply the drive or we can supply it for you. If you to supply the drive we prefer it to be empty (you can supply it to us with files on it, however we take no responsibility for any loss or corruption to those files) Please ensure you supply the USB cable and power pack if it has one. You need 15 gigabytes per hour of  footage. So for 10 hours of video footage you would need a 150 gigabyte drive. The Drive you supply needs to be empty or formatted as NTFS (Microsoft  Windows) or HFS (Apple Macs).   If it is formatted as FAT32  we will need to erase and reformat it, so make sure the drive is empty. To check this in Microsoft Windows select the drive letter in My computer > Right click > Properties > Look for "File system" and look for FAT/FAT32  or NTFS
