Digital Video Capture

Questra Graphics can capture all or portions of your recorded video tape to computer-readable files for a variety of uses, including computer presentations, web-authoring and CD-Rom or DVD publishing. If required, specific frames may be captured, enhanced and either printed in color, or saved as a digital file. Examples include "freezing" and printing a frame from a surveillance camera, to identify intruders, or capturing a sports event picture for publishing in a company newsletter. Input can be from VHS, 8mm or Hi-8.

Don't wait until your old video tapes have deteriorated! A popular service is conversion of video tapes to DVD to preserve them for posterity, or to share with others. Enhancements include titles, search menus and musical backgrounds.

VHS Format Conversion

Different formats are used around the world for video recording, depending on the television formats in each country. For example, in the US television and video use the NTSC format, while in Britain, the PAL format is used. Consequently a video recorded for British use can normally not be played back on a Video player in the States. To overcome this problem, Questra Graphics can convert your VHS tapes to/from any combination of PAL, SECAM and NTSC and provide duplicate copies if required.
