Pricing is per tape, laserdisc or digital file.   ABM recommends placing approximately 120 minutes (2 hours) of video per DVD. This retains the highest possible quality/cost ratio for your video.  “Squeezing” more on a DVD requires higher compression, resulting in a loss of playback quality.  

3. If BOTH DVD and digital file formats are desired:

Add $5 to each transfer price for option #2 above.  

Pricing is per file created.  The files can be named to customers specifications.  Digital files can be delivered to customer via portable USB drive or hard drive provided by the customer.  USB drives can also be purchased from ABM.  Prices vary by storage size. 
 
Additional Options:

1) Correction/Restoration can be applied to your video.  This includes things like color/contrast correction, cropping/zooming to fill screen, increasing volume, noise reduction, improved clarity through equalization, etc.  The cost for correction and restoration work depends on the amount  requested by the customer.  

2) Additional copies of your DVD(s) can be purchased. The cost is $7 per DVD and includes thin/clear case, and black text on white matte label.  Labels are not stickers, but are bonded to the DVD so they will not come loose.

*$5 preview charge for each tapes that contain no convertible video.
