Convert content on video DVDs to Blu-ray Disc or Data Files or PAL formats. Available files types are MP4, MOV, AVI, or WMV. Transfer pricing is $25 per DVD. If choosing data file ouputs, we will return files via the web as standard procedure, or we can place the files on storage media you provide, or storage media purchased from Cintrex AV. Order turnaround is 2 weeks after we receive your DVD(s), and you will receive back your new digital formats and physical source media if something was originally shipped to Cintrex.
Sending in your DVDs to Cintrex - for shipment of your actual physical DVDs into Cintrex, there is a prepaid UPS label available at checkout. If you do not want to ship the DVDs themselves, but their ISO image file copies instead, we can receive the files via the Web. Please address your file transfer to "order-entry@cintrexav.com" and reference your purchase's order number. If you need a file transport service for getting your DVD ISO images into Cintrex, please mark the LightJar option during the ordering process. Regardless of how you send us your DVDs, shipping and handling fees apply to orders less than $100 in value ($25 S&H if the order is less than $50, and $10 S&H for orders valued more than $50 but less than $100).

Deliverables: Recorded content on your DVD(s) reformatted to your desire output. Choices below.
- Video Blu-ray Disc - can contain up to nine (9) hours of standard definition video (MPEG-2), the approximate equivalent of 4.5 DVDs. 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. If multiple DVDs are being transferred to Blu-ray Disc, the table of contents has a motion icon for
each DVD, 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.

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) for placement on Blu-ray Disc, or if converting to data files, then transcoding content from DVD to H.264 MPEG-4 movie files or other file types, and placing these onto selected storage media. 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.
