Video Production - Cleveland, OH:
Many still cameras now offer a Video Mode. Getting your videos to a DVD can however be challenging. I would first check with your Camera’s Manufacture to see about any free software that would offer a solution. Barring that option, here is what and how to transfer video files to DVD. Your camera may have a USB port and a cable to directly transfer the video files to your computer. Barring that option, your computer may have a card reader if not, you will need to purchase one. The card reader must list your type of card. All card readers are not the same! For example, if you have a SDHC card from your camera, your card reader may only read the SD cards. You will need to upgrade your card reader. Transfer your video files to a folder on your second drive or the C: drive in your computer. I find this a more reliable way to work with the files opposed to working of the card or digital camera. Your computer will also have to be fast enough and have enough memory to play your video. How fast does your computer have to be to play video? As a rule about 2.2 GHz and have about 2 GB of RAM. This can very as to how choked up your computer is. The more speed and memory the better! A second Hard Drive would be beneficial to store and play your videos. This may solve some of the stop and go type of video play back. Once you have the files in your computer open up your favorite DVD Authoring Program, import your video files from the folder you copied them to and follow program instructions. If your DVD Authoring Program doesn’t recognize the video files you will need to get a video file converter program. Look for a high rated program that lists your file type, mp4, .mov, .avi, what ever. Have fun:)

All kinds of digital cameras provide the ability to take short video clips now! You’re no longer limited to just taking still images anymore. While that’s a great feature, it’s not always easy to transfer your videos to DVD from your camera.
There are plenty of kiosks at drug stores and such that will allow you to transfer your files to pictures, but they will not transfer your videos to DVD. This is because there just is no one way to do every type of file from every type of camera. If you try to do it yourself, you may also find it to be time consuming and quite a technological challenge.
If you’re looking to have a DVD made with your camera that will play in your DVD player, then come to ATV Productions. We can copy your videos from your memory card into our computer, and call you when your DVD movies are ready for pick up! In most cases you don’t even have to leave your camera behind! You’ll have a playable DVD with your videos for your family to enjoy. We can even make you a low cost back-up copy for safe keeping.
Give us a call or visit http://atvproductions.com/ for more information on these services!

Video Production - Cleveland, OH: If you’re wondering how to keep your old 8mm film safe and protected, the best thing we can recommend is to get them transferred to DVD. You can preserve the life of the film as long as possible by storing it in a cool, low moisture area, away from sunlight. But, the bottom line is that the film WILL deteriorate over time and the only sure way to keep your precious memories truly safe is to get them over to more permanent format, like DVD.
We do film transfers here at ATV Productions in-house to ensure the safety of your priceless videos. Give us a call today or visit us at http://www.atvproductions.com !

Video Production, Cleveland: Have you ever wondered why you don’t see many stickers used to label discs anymore? Well, it’s because using that kind of label can throw off the balance of the DVD or CD when it’s in a player. This can cause your disc to either not play right or not at all.
The best way to label a disc is either with a permanent marker or with a DVD/CD printer. If you have a printer, just keep in mind that you have to get printable discs. Otherwise, what you printed will smear right off.
If you have DVDs or CDs that you need duplicated, bring them in to AM Tech Video, Inc. Our local video production company has competitive prices and can take care of all the copying, printing and packaging you need.

Video Production - Cleveland, OH: There are plenty of statistics, articles, blogs, etc. that will tell you the same thing… ONLINE VIDEO ATTRACTS MORE CUSTOMERS TO YOUR BUSINESS WEBSITE! On top of that, Google looks for video content on sites and actually ranks pages higher for it. If that doesn’t attract more customers, then I don’t know what will.

Video Production - Cleveland, OH: How long will a DVD last? I have seen reports of 75-100 years. This could be wrong. DVD’s will last until you scratch them and that is not that hard to do. Always make a back up copy of important video or data and put the DVD away in a dry cool place. We have not tested them yet but I also expect extreem heat would be a problem as well.
