Your videotapes will never look the same again! Studies
have shown that video tape quality starts to degrade rapidly after 10
years even under ideal conditions. Furthermore, quality is lost each and
every time your video tape is played. This may go unnoticed until it is
too late. Don't let this happen to you, Let us Protect your Precious Memories
by transferring your videos and VHS to DVD! By converting your video
to DVD, your videos will last a lifetime. We convert to DVD utilizing
the DVD-R standard, which is the most compatible recordable DVD format
to date. We recommend no more than 2 hours of video per disc. 1 hour of
video results in the highest quality possible while 2 hours is still very
good. Any more than 2 hours results in a lower bit rate than desirable,
producing a drop in resolution. We also offer DVD
Duplication for as many DVD duplicates as you need. So, bring your
memories into AV-Workshop and Back to Life Today!
AV Workshop can digitize your videotapes to high quality uncompressed digital computer files so you can edit them the way you want on your computer!

We can provide these files to you on an external hard drive that you simply connect to your computer via USB and start editing. Thus, you don't have to worry about buying expensive playback equipment or the long tedious hours it takes for digitization.

“I have been using this company for over 10 years.
I've had DVD copies made there, have had videos
converted from European to American standards,
have had videos edited there.
I trust them so much that I had them transfer my 87
year old father's life story so it would be preserved when
he's no longer here. They have even videotaped and
edited events at my kids' school.
Big jobs, small jobs, it doesn't matter. They have
always finished the work by the time they promised it.
I'm always looking for the best price so I appreciate that
they don't nickel and dime you. They're patient in
explaining what they charge and they charge
what they quote you.
I feel lucky that I found them and that they're
convenient to get to.”
