What is the Resolution and Quality of these Home Video to DVD Transfers?
At Musevox Multimedia we transfer video to DVD in high quality MPEG2 format. The video signal remains at a full 720 X 480 pixels and 30 frames per second. No frames are dropped during DVD recording. For TV viewing the DVDs will play as high as 525 lines of resolution, 60 fields/sec, depending upon the TV system used for playback. The audio is recorded in either PCM stereo or mono, depending on the original sound on the videotape being transferred. If the stereo that was recorded sounds bad, we switch to mono which usually cleans up the sound. The picture quality of the original home videotape, meaning the picture lines and colors are generally improved during transfer to DVD. How long do DVDs last compared to Videotapes? The DVD-video format has a minimum life expectancy of at least 100 years. Some people in the DVD Transfer industry claim that a DVD will only last 2 to 5 years. I transferred my own Family Movie Film to DVD-R back in December of 2000 and it still plays, looks and sound
