It's simple, easy and inexpensive to turn your video tapes into DVDs

Just follow our step-by-step guide:

Organize your video tapes. It's best when you put them in order by date, but you may also want to organize them by topic. Whatever works for you!
Label your video tapes. You don't want us to have to guess what's on them!
Check how long they are. More than one tape can be put on a single DVD, saving you money. However a single DVD can only hold 2 hours of video. If you have several short tapes, try to put those together.
Do you have broken or damaged tapes? In most cases, we can repair them, so don't throw them away!
Do you need multiple copies? You know that other family members or friends will want a copy, or you might want to keep two copies - one to watch, and one to store "just in case". Duplicate copies are fast and cheap!

Each DVD features a custom printed color label printed directly on the disk surface - no sticky labels that peel and potentially gum up your DVD player. We use top quality blank disks for maximum compatibility.

Price List
One tape to one DVD (up to 2 hours of video)	$21.99
One tape to two DVDs (up to 4 hours of video total)	$25.99
One tape to three DVDs (up to 6 hours of video total)	$29.99

Two tapes to one DVD (total of 2 hours of video or less)	$23.99
Three tapes to one DVD (total of 2 hours of video or less)	$25.99

Video tape repair (per tape)	$4.99
Extra DVD copies (each)	$4.99
Volume CD and DVD duplication services available. Our automated duplicator can make hundreds of copies per day complete with custom printed labels. Call for a custom quote.	CALL
All prices plus applicable sales tax

Wait! I have a box full of tapes to convert - can you offer me a discount?

We want to make this process as painless as possible. If you have a lot of tapes, we have the following discount schedule:

Discount Schedule
One finished DVD	Full Price
Two finished DVDs	10% off your entire order
Three finished DVDs	20% off your entire order
Four finished DVDs	25% off your entire order
Five finished DVDs	30% off your entire order
Six or more finished DVDs	40% off your entire order!

Memories linger, but unfortunately video tapes fade away...

Some formal studies put the quality lifetime of a video tape at only 15 years! After that, you will notice the effects of age, humidity and chance as they slowly degrade your video tape. Here at Famous Davis, we've got the tools, talent and time to turn your precious memories into 21st century technology.

We can convert the following tape formats to high quality DVDs:

VHS
S-VHS
VHS-C
Video8 (8mm video tape)
Hi8
Digital8
MiniDV

We can also repair and transfer broken video tapes. In addition, we can transfer video from your camcorder with a built-in hard drive, or transfer video from Mini-DVDs to full-size DVDs.

For pricing information, please click here.

To find out where we're located and where you can bring your video tapes, please click here.

David H. Davies of Ampex Recording Systems Corporation (the inventors of video tape) suggests examining and playing your priceless video tapes every two to five years. "If you see degradation, take them to a duplication center and get them copied," he said.

Famous Davis Spotlighted in the LA Times Business Section

Tue, 26 May 2009 17:09:12 GMT

Ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I was interviewed for a story in the LA Times about those annoying automated phone calls selling car warranties. I had enough and ratted them out to the Federal Trade Commission. So how was Famous Davis mentioned in the article? The writer identifies me as "Chris Davis, a Minnesota Web designer and video producer." At least they could have provided a link back to the Famous Davis website!
