A CD-Rom holds 650 MB or approximately 1 hour of video depending on the file size of the MPEG. The higher the quality, the less footage the CD holds. The more the video is compressed, the more can fit onto a CD-Rom, however, the quality will be reduced.
M&M Video Systems offers an economical DVD archive service for preserving your home movies, videos, slides and photos. We start by transferring your originals to a DVCam master tape. This process gives you the clearest possible recording. We then convert the resulting digital master to DVD quality MPEG-2 files and copy them to a DVD. The process is completely digital from start to finish, ensuring you the highest quality.
The archival potential of DVD with its high quality, portability and 100 year shelf life make it the preferred medium to preserve your special videos, home movies, slides and photos. We convert VHS, VHS-C, BetaMax, SVHS, 8mm, and Hi8 plus your old home movies.
We use DVD-R/W media and recording equipment for archiving your video tapes and movies to DVD. This is the highest standard in the industry for compatibility and convergence.
The unique advantage of DVD-R/W is that it offers compatibility not only with a selected number of future products, but also with most existing DVD players and drives.

Photos can be made from video tape still images captured from your home movies.
Some of the best photographic memories may be on your old video tapes (or film). We can capture, enhance, and enlarge still images from video tapes. In addition to photographic prints, M&M Video Systems can provide computer images in the .gif, .jpg and .bmp file formats.
