Please keep in mind that the quality of your DVD is totally dependent on the quality of the source tape. Although we cannot greatly improve the quality of your video or guarantee that we can eliminate all the degradation artifacts, we do use time-base correction and digital noise reduction to remove extraneous picture noise and flickering that sometimes occur on older or poorly reproduced tapes. However, if it is already too late, and your video is in fairly bad condition, unfortunately, transferring to a DVD will not repair a degraded tape. The good news is that you discovered it, and are able to have your video transferred to DVD now before it is gone forever!!
