DVD Video Authoring

What does authoring DVD-Videos mean? Well, we take your video files, add menus and create a DVD-Video that can be played in a standard DVD player and on a Mac/PC. Also, we can create disc images (sometimes called Gold Masters) for replication. These can then be pressed to as many DVDs as you require. Want to add new movies to DVDs that have already been replicated? Using our knowledge of the DVD structure - we can do that for you.

Post-Production

We know that your source material isn't always going to be perfect, that's why we have the knowledge and ability to enhance your material and bring it to the next level with these techniques:

Motion GraphicsMotion Graphics

If you need snazzy eye-catching graphics for your next project - give us a call! We can create graphics for digital video or for your next web project. Using your source materials, whether it be still images, video, music or text we will produce purposeful content for a variety of platforms such as online, digital media and broadcast.

Video Conversion

In an ideal world, all source video would be pristine and uncompressed, but that doesn't always happen. With over 10 years experience in video conversion, we don't just convert the usual files - we convert formats that no one else will touch.

Have you been supplied videos in a format such as BDAV MPEG-2 transport stream (.mt2s) or RealNetworks video (.rm). High quality conversion is possible using state of the art real-time recording. We play your video and capture it as a new raw file. This gives us the best quality we can get.

Our expertise and attention to detail has led us to work on many varied projects, such as critical medical procedure videos and complex tutorial animations. Utilising the following range of techniques allows us to create a unique solution to meet your project requirements.
