If a company is just starting out they no doubt are in a steep learning curve. There is no training course on how to transfer videos, it comes down to experience. Brismedia has been trading since 2004 from the same office and with decades of prior electronics, TV and Computer skills we know how to transfer tapes. # Do they have a physical office you can visit? It’s easy enough to setup a bedroom transfer company with one VCR and domestic DVD recorder, but the results will reflect the investment. Without an office if there is a problem it can be a lot harder for you to get satisfaction. Brismedia has its own purpose built office, and has been trading since 2004. Our office is equipped with four dedicated video transfer stations, each with a variety of tape playback units to get the most from your tape. # How do some companies get the prices so cheap? Mention the word digital and people think it’s all the same high quality. Think again. A common short cut is to use Domestic DVD recorders and transfer / render your footage in real time. In other words, for 2 hours of footage it takes about 2 hours to make the DVD. Sure it works but the quality is not as good and the discs may not be as compatible. We capture your footage to a fast computer in real time, then render it using broadcast quality software which takes a further 4 hours to produce your DVD. # Why does Brismedia limit our DVD’s to 2 hours? Any company not mentioning time limits or offering to put 3 or 4 hours of footage onto Burnable DVD’s doesn’t care about quality. They will be most likely using domestic DVD recorders set to low quality. With most DVD’s being played back on large High Definition TV’s it is important to keep the transfer to highest quality. Even at 2 hours there is some loss of quality but it is regarded as the best compromise and is not noticeable to most people.
