MiniDV to DVD « MontrealHomeMovies

Testimonials

I am very pleased with the work provided by Toronto Home Movies in converting some family home movies from film reels to dvd, and some audio cassette tapes to CD. They were instrumental to us in preserving this terrific footage, which almost feels like you're using a time machine to witness events of the past. And the best is that these family movies will be preserved and available for future generations. I was impressed with their assistance, attention to detail, and ability to do the conversions in a good timeframe. If you are looking for a business to take care of your film mementoes, I recommend them.

Thank you for a great job, well done.

MiniDV to DVD

minidv to dvd montreal

The MiniDV tape uses the Digital Video (DV) format but in a smaller tape and has become a standard for home and semi-professional video production and on some occasions, professional video production in film making and electronic news gathering. Also, you will find a number of cameras that shoot in HD but save the footage onto MiniDV tape.

We at MontrealHomeMovies.com will convert your digital video footage to either a DVD or upload to your personal hard drive. Depending on your export preference we can provide .avi for PC or .dv for Apple.

Need your footage edited? Ask us about it. Our editors can create amazing slideshow presentations, anniversary stories and wedding presentations.

MiniDV tapes can be used to record a high-definition format called HDV in cameras designed for this codec, which differs significantly from DV on a technical level as it uses MPEG-2 compression. MPEG-2 is more efficient than the compression used in DV, in large part due to inter-frame/temporal compression. This allows for higher resolution at bit rates similar to DV. On the other hand, the use of inter-frame compression can cause motion artifacts and complications in editing. Nonetheless, HDV is being widely adopted for both consumer and professional purposes and is supported by many editing applications using either the native HDV format or intermediary editing codecs.

Here at MontrealHomeMovies.com, we specialize in converting your old fading video footage, be it some of the more rare formats like SVHS, VHSc, Betamax and SuperBeta. We can convert it straight from VHS to DVD or we can convert it to .avi or so that if you want to edit your Hi8, VHS, VHCs, 8mm Tape, Pal, Secam and NTSC Tapes, MiniDV, and Digital 8 tapes. Using only professional video decks we guarantee our work. Using only professional video equipment that is tested and serviced to ensure the highest quality transfers.

Product Description:

MiniDV “S” cassettes are the most common format when it comes to digital video recording. Most consumer cameras are equipped for MiniDV recordings. Their popularity can be attributed to a number of factors: They are relatively small in size (65×48x12mm), and can hold either 60 or 90 minutes of video depending on whether the video is recorded at standard play or long play. Most notably though they are cheap; MiniDV tapes can sell for as little as $2.50. Even in professional markets, most DV camcorders support only MiniDV. The low cost ease of use of MiniDV equipment fostered a new generation of video journalists as many ‘real life’ drama shows are filmed with MiniDV tapes.

Even if you’re not a video journalist, if you’ve picked up a camera in the last decade for whatever reason, there’s a good chance it had a MiniDV tape inside. Here at Montreal Home Movies, we’re happy to take those countless hours of tape you’ve filmed and convert your MiniDV’s to DVD. Our professionals have countless hours of experience with Mini DV technology and will ensure a seamless transition for your MiniDV to DVD transfers. Or, if your MiniDV tape has been damaged or degraded, we can repair the footage using technology from the Remastering process.

Or email us at info@MontrealHomeMovies.com. There are always at least 4 people available nearby to return your questions quickly and concisely.
