Slide & Photo Scanning 

Slides
Video Duplication & Conversion Services is Canberra’s leader
when it comes to slide scanning.
We most commonly scan slides at a resolution of 1800dpi
and have found that this is a sufficient resolution for viewing
on most TVs and for photo re-prints.
After we have the scanned images on our computer we adjust the colour & contrast to best restore the original images.
Higher resolutions will incur higher prices as the scan times greatly increase.
The scanned images will be provided to you as .jpg or .tif files on data CD or DVD

Photos
Photographs are usually scanned at 600dpi.
These scans also undergo the colour & contrast restoration process.

Slideshows
We can produce a DVD Slideshow for you with your choice of music, commentary and captions.

Detailed Image Restoration
If you intend to greatly enlarge an image for print reproduction we recommend that you have us re-scan the image at higher resolution and then undergo an intensive image restoration process.

Video File Conversions

We are currently going through another technology shift.
DVDs are on the way out, Blu-ray discs have also been superseded by video file formats that can be stored and played on various devices.
 
As a result there are now many different video file formats.
Some of these new formats have their uses for their quality stability & size compression, others for their upload and sharing capabilities.

We are able to convert your video files into any format you may require.

Audio Conversions


Cassettes, LP records, Reel to Reel tapes

We can convert your old audio formats to .wav or .mp3 files for CDs and/or data storage.

Many of the audio Cassettes and Reel to Reel tapes we receive in for conversion hold irreplaceable family memories but have been recorded in........ not the most ideal of conditions. We have the equipment and software to noticeably clean up and enhance the original recordings.

We also separate audio recordings into individual tracks so your recordings will now behave like track listed CDs.
 
As for commercially produced audio recordings that you legally own....
You are entitled to have a backup copy for your own use, definitely not for re-sale or public broadcast/exhibition.

Editing

We are often asked to edit customer's video footage and scanned images to produce videos for special events such as birthday parties and funerals. We can add music, captions and a range of special effects that will give your video that special something.
We also edited footage to produce corporate training & promotional videos.
Call us to discuss the requirements for your video.

Authoring

Authoring is the process of producing a video in a playable format ie, DVD, Blu Ray.
These days it is becoming increasingly common to produce videos in various file formats eg,
MPG (Mpeg2), MP4, AVI, MOV, FLV, WMV.
These files need to be linked to an appropriate Codec for playback and file sharing. Some examples of these Codecs include DivX, X264, Xvid, and FFMpeg.
Different video file formats and Codecs have their uses for different purposes from video quality to upload size and speed.
