Don't Let Your Precious Memories Fade Away

Some things last forever...videotape is NOT one of them. The




expected life of a VHS videotape is only 10-15 years.









In the current world of electronics, the safest way to preserve




your precious video memories is to transfer them to DVD. Many of




our customers have already begun to notice that VHS videotapes




recorded only a few years ago are showing wear.









WHY DVD?









Unlike videotape, DVDs will not deteriorate after every time




it's played. Each time a videotape is played, its tiny magnetic




particles rub off causing it to degrade. Eventually, this may




cause your video to experience "drop outs" or other loss of




quality and, in time, the video may not be viewable at all.









Rather than magnetic particles, a DVD is made up of encoded bits




of information that are read by a laser. Because the laser never




actually touches the disc, there is no deterioration with each




viewing.









ARCHIVAL BENEFITS OF DVD









DVDs cannot be erased or accidentally recorded over. Besides of




its durability, DVD is also resistant to heat. The only way to




damage your DVD is to physically damage its surface.









The current life expectancy of a VHS videotape is 10-15 years




while a DVD's life span is indefinite, often approximated at 100




years.









DVDs are also capable of storing or archiving still images, top




quality audio, and direct links to the Internet. The longevity




and variety of use, combined with its compact size, make DVD the




perfect choice for archival storage.









EASE OF USE WITH A DVD









There is no rewinding or fast forwarding with a DVD...as there




is with a videotape. You can instantly scan forward or backward




with a DVD and it's much easier to locate a certain portion of a




DVD than on a videotape. DVDs can contain titles and chapter




marks to save considerable time when searching.









WHY DUPLICATION MEDIA?









Let Duplication Media preserve your training, marketing, and




family videotapes by converting them to DVD with our




professional DVD recorders. We can transfer from more than 15




different video formats - consumer, professional, and broadcast.









Videotapes won't last forever so preserve them before the




memories fade away.
