TheVideoConverter.com is an online ordering service.
The first step to
drive us towards this was the fact that I could not watch a
good deal of videos which are sold at a real bargain price on
eBay just because of region-barrier issues. At the same
time I have family living in Europe, and every time I wanted
to send a video to them, or receive one, I had to go looking
for a place to convert the tape. What I would get most times
was a hefty price and a lousy quality.
I spend time
searching the equipment to carry the conversion on my own. I
managed to read a number of technical guides, just about every
"For Dummies" book on the subject, and even got a chance to
get some advice and work with some technicians from Rogers
Television.
After a good deal
of time spend reading and learning, and some very exciting
last minute bidding on eBay, I have managed to put together a
rather advanced equipment suite to convert VHS tapes and
DVD's. For those of you interested here is a quick list of the
equipment I use:
-
Sharp HD VCA50
Multisystem VCR
-
Emerson 19
Micron Head VCR
-
RCA VCR Unit
-
Digital MSC
SB-3690
-
80 gb, 3 GHz
Intel Dedicated System
-
2 x ATI All In
One Wonder Radeon (128 mb)
-
Norcent and
Cyberhome DVD players
-
ATI Capture, and
WINDVD Recorder software
-
A
series of Gold Plated RCA video cables
Let's be clear,
this is not a job for me, it is however a hobby to which I
give a great deal of time. I can guarantee the results you'll
get will be great, since I enjoy doing this, and will try
until I am convinced that the video produced is the best I can
do. In most cases the result is a high digital quality
picture, and very well kept colour scheme.
