Assure the Preservation of a Lifetime of Photos and Home Movies
Highest Quality Transfers and Restorations

More than a Simple Transfer

We employ advanced image enhancement technology such as digital noise reduction and image stabilization to instantly clean, stabilize and preserve old VHS/Betamax and Hi8 videos in pristine DVD format. Each frame is cross-referenced with the frames immediately in front of and behind further refining and improving the overall image quality. What you get out may look BETTER than what you put in. We also transfer audio cassettes and LP records to DVD.

Transfer Family Photos

Your family photos can be skillfully arranged into a photo montage designed to excite and engage. Random pan-and-zoom creates a dimension of depth that adds a new level of excitement to viewing memories.

Why Transfer to DVD

Celluloid film yellows with age and becomes brittle. Analog recorded magnetic tape used in video is estimated to begin to show significant degradation after ten years. Digitally recorded tape may give the appearance of lasting longer because of its error correction and ability to drop frames without being noticed.

Consider also Blu-ray

CD-ROMS and DVDs, while they are estimated to hold their information for a hundred years, are susceptible to scratches and finger prints. When CDs (and later DVDs) were being designed in the 1970s, nobody imagined they would one day find their way into the hands of children. Blu-ray media, however, was designed with the family home environment in mind.

Why W. Cardone

W. Cardone Productions has the latest technology to transfer your home movies and photos (we accept both prints and negatives) to DVD or Blu-ray disk. We offer options for restoring and/or improving the quality of both aged celluloid and video home movies as well as still pictures and audio.

The DVD and CD media we release on is of the highest quality, costing roughly three times what is available to the consumer, and is certain to last for decades. We print a full color photo quality label directly on the disk which resists water. In addition, we offer an archival grade DVD option which uses a 24ct gold reflective layer for ultra longevity.
