What is DVD?

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is an optical disc storage format introduced in 1995 that can hold videos, data, and other digital content.

How Digitization Works?

Many people ask how we digitize DVDs and other digital media. The short answer is that we use a semi-automated process with professional, industrial-grade equipment—not something you can easily replicate with a device or software at home. This ensures high-quality results and allows us to handle even large orders on time.

File Format & Quality

Our digital scanning service produces MP4 video files of a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 and JPEG image files.

Note: images greater than 36 megapixels will not be transferred.

The Capture 100% Guarantee

To ensure your digital copies are of the best quality, we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

If for any reason you are not satisfied with the outcome of your order, we will happily reprocess it for you at no cost, within 60 days.

You will need a DVD-ripping app on your Windows 10 as well as an internal or external DVD drive. Then, you will have to follow the media player or DVD ripping app directions.
When you rip a DVD, you can create MP4, AVI, MKV, WMV, and other file types depending on what is included on the DVD itself and the platform you are using to convert. However, compared with the original file, the quality of the new file may be lower because of the compression.
