WHY WE GIVE YOU DVDS AND USB THUMB DRIVES
A DVD is a standard definition medium (720 X 480), so any file (standard definition or high definition) that is put on a DVD will play only in standard definition.
A USB thumb drive is a high definition medium (1920 X 1080). High definition files put on a USB thumb drive will play in HD.
We scan movie film in high definition (1920 X 1080). We want you to experience the high definition detail we capture, so we put your HD movie film files on USB thumb drives, where they will remain as HD files and play in HD.
Many of my competitors scan movie film only in SD (720 X 480), because they know that when they put scanned movie film files on DVDs, the HD files will play only in SD. So, there is no practical reason for them to scan movie film in HD. Scanning in SD is faster and less expensive than scanning in HD.
If you want a free set of DVDs as well, we will put your HD movie files also on DVDs, but, remember, DVD files will play only in SD.
Note:
HD files are much larger than SD files, so longer footage reels could create instances where the entire movie will not fit on a DVD. In that case, we recommend the USB thumb drive only.
Please open "USB3 FLASH DRIVE (INCLUDED)" in the box below for details.
