DVDENCODE.com - DVD Authoring & Encoding Services from GAP Digital Film & Video

DVDENCODE offers professional "A" quality DVD Services. It is possible for us to coordinate your DVD project from concept to completion. By the time most of the companies who do professional DVD have gotten around to giving you a bid for your project, we can deliver an authored master! For short projects, we can deliver overnight. Typical turnaround is 3-4 weeks, although we can sometimes deliver in as little as 1 week depending on our current work load.

VIDEO ENCODING -

DVD Encode focuses on higher end, broadcast video formats only. We can encode from popular broadcast NTSC and ATSC (HDTV) video tape formats. The quality of the finished DVD depends on the quality of the master video. We provide authored DVD masters directly to DLT, ready to be replicated or we can bundle your entire project with packaged DVDs ready for you to distribute to your clients. We welcome inquires from duplicators or distributors about outsourcing your DVD authoring needs to us.

We can author the larger, more professional DVD-9 and DVD-18 discs in addition to the more standard DVD-5 discs. Replication, duplication, and packaging services are only available with authoring services. If you plan on doing your own authoring, please contact a Replicator or Duplicator directly.

We accept the following NTSC Standard formats: (sorry, we cannot do PAL or SECAM)

Digital Betacam (Recommended),
Betacam SP,
D-5

Other formats will be transferred to one of the above at the client's expense.
HDTV Widescreen 1920x1080 formats:    HD video provides the highest quality encoding to DVD format because it is almost six times greater than the quality of standard NTSC. DVDs encoded from HD video deliver sharper images and higher color quality because our encoder is capable of encoding directly from the full uncompressed HD image which is approximately the equivalent of a 2K film scan. We are proud to be one of the few companies offering encoding from HD masters.
