Video Services at Dan's
Preserve your memories before they fade
Why fight with an old projector and screen, or an outdated VCR? Transfer your movies, photos, videos and slides to digital, and have a screening at your next family get-together!
Your memories are safe with us.
Dan's DVD & Video Services are either done at Dan's using professional grade equipment or contracted out to a local provider who uses production-quality equipment. We're confident you won't find a better combination of quality, price and service.
Why transfer your videotapes to a digital format?
Even if your tapes are stored well, they're on borrowed time. Tapes gradually break down over time. DVDs and digital files don't get tangled in your player or gradually wear out from repeated viewing. With our premium service, chapter points at 5-minute intervals allow you to find specific scenes far more easily than with videotape.
They're also more convenient to store, since they take up less space than bulky videotapes. And you'll never have to rewind again!
Videotapes transferred to Digital
Copy your VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi8, Digital8, Micro MV, and Mini-DV tapes to DVD disc or USB drive. Up to two hours of video will fit on a single DVD.
