Convert content on Camcorder Hard-drives to DVD, Blu-ray Disc, or Data Files. Available files types are MP4, MOV, AVI, or WMV. If you choose a data file for output, we can place the content on your provided storage media (flash-drive or hard-drive), or place content on media purchased from us, or return the files via web download.
Transfer price is $16.50 per hour of content. Pricing includes cost of DVD or Blu-ray Disc or WEB download. If choosing data file outputs, customers can send in their own USB flash-drives and external hard-drives, or purchase them from Cintrex AV. Enter the number of hours of content in the quantity box. If the Camcorder's hard-drive hold more than the the number of hours ordered, Cintrex will contact you with a custom quote and wait for your approval before starting the job.

Deliverables: Recorded content on your Camcorder's hard-drive is reformatted to your desired output. Choices below.

- Video Blu-ray Disc - can contain up to nine (9) hours of standard definition video (MPEG-2), or up to 3 hours of high definition video (H2.64 MPEG-4). The disc is a BD-R manufactured by either Verbatim or Falcon, and has an advertised shelf life of over 70 years if stored properly. The disc is set up for auto-play with chapter points for every 20 minutes of video content unless specified differently. The table of contents has a motion icon for each video tape, and clicking on the icon takes the viewer to the corresponding chapter marker within the video content on the Blu-ray Disc. The one on-screen title, disc surfaces and case sleeves are labeled per your instruction. If desired, we can place a chapter marker for each video file recorded on the SD card.

The reformatting process:
1. Inventory the items, review customer directions; perform minor video editing that is standard on all orders - removal of blank video scenes, removal of copyright television or commercial movies, transfer only home movies' content;
2. Application of fee-based optional video editing or digital noise reduction as ordered;
3. Transcoding (reformatting) the digital content into MPEG-2 movie files (standard definition) or H.264 MPEG-4 movie files (high definition), and placing these onto selected output media: Blu-ray Disc, DVD, USB Flash-drive, or external hard-drive. For discs, we combine content from multiple files onto as few discs as possible, giving each file its own chapter on the disc. The table of contents for the Blu-ray Disc has an on-screen title, along with motion icons for each movie file and corresponding chapter markers within the disc's video content. If conversion is to new movie file types, we will label the files with customer name, order number, and previous file name. All labeling on for discs and movie files can be customized to customer specification.
4. Original customer content and new formats are returned to the customer.
5. We save disc images of the DVDs and Blu-ray Discs, or copies of new movie files, in our storage network for 90 days, to help in the event of loss, or need for extra copies, or need for additional editing.
