In all cases of copying tapes and disks, we assume that you have the proper copyrights of the original media contents.
A DVD does not need to contain video, it can also be used to store computer data. With its about 4.3 GB (single layer) or 8.0 GB (double layer) of space, it is an ideal archival media.
For smaller jobs the 650 or even 700 MB of ordinary compact disks is also still worthwhile, and much cheaper too.
For example dump the holiday pictures in your digital camera to disk for only T$ 12 (disk included) (T$ 10 if less than half full).
Copying an audio CD is easy. Bring us your original, and we make one or more copies. We also can put a nice label on the disk or make a front and back cover for the jewelbox at an additional charge. See our publications chapter for some ideas.
If your sound is on minidisk, MP3 player, or even on tape, we can get it in the computer, equalise the volumes, change pauses, and what more may be needed, before putting it on disk. An additional charge applies depending on the amount of work to be done.
We do not copy videotape to tape, you can do that yourself. But we can copy tape to disk or disk to tape. Although the latter is not a very good option due to the low quality of video disks.
We can make DVD for you, either from original footage or copying existing DVD. Since DVD offer a wide range of possibilities, some or all of them may be used or may not be used, the amount of work ranges wildly and so does the pricing. A very simple project: copying up to 2 hours from a VHS tape onto a DVD without fancy menus, may be as low as T$ 50. A highly sophisticated project may run into the thousands.
In case of original new content, we can master your original video and audio on the DVD according to your specifications. We can add the undertitling, menus, stories, and so on.
Video CD's can be copied, just like an audio CD. They also can be made from an original videotape (PAL only). Prices same as DVD. So who would ever want to still use them?
Tauʻolunga komipiuta can also make video recordings for you (PAL only). Be it for wedding, a funeral, a fundraising, whatever feast it might be. Likewise we can make advertisement videos for you. And once the video has been made we can do the editing for you and put it on one of the media mentioned above. Pricing on request.
