With the ability to transfer our old home movies from cine film, slides and videotapes to longer lasting formats, it is important to understand which format is the best.

For some years, the trend was to transfer everything we could to DVD’s and we would be able to relive our greatest memories by easily playing it on a DVD player connected to a TV. Things have moved on somewhat and sadly DVD is now an outdated format, as it is only standard definition and not easy to copy for the home user.

Why Choose Digital Transfer?

We know that DVDs will one day become obsolete, we’ve seen 8-track tapes, cassette tapes, video tapes, and CDs all being replaced with the next latest and greatest technology. The odds are therefore pretty high that DVDs will one day be a thing of the past.

Most clients prefer to have the opportunity to either archive a high quality digital file or have the opportunity to get hands on and edit their own films using the many editing packages widely available.

Memories Shared

Digital formats allow you to share your memories. A simple MP4 file is fully supported across all platforms and devices and it can be copied, sent up to the cloud or simply popped on a USB stick ready to slot in a TV or home computer.

For anyone that is social media savvy sharing videos through sites such as Facebook, Vimeo, Vine, Instagram and YouTube are also very popular.
