VIDEO COMPRESSION / VIDEO ENCODING SERVICES

Audio Video Workshop can compress your video and audio to fit your needs. We offer streaming video services that enable you to put your video on the web or a server. Streaming video will allow the viewer to watch it immediately depending on the speed of their connection. We can encode your video to a streaming media file that will auto detect your viewers connection and give them the best possible quality without them having to wait for it to download. Streaming video can be compressed into various files to play in various players including: Windows Media Player, Quick Time Player, Real Networks, and MP3.

Constantly listening to the business and personal needs of our customers, we are now offering the latest in video compression and video encoding. Utilizing the H.264 MPEG 4 compression, we can give you twice the quality for half the file size. H.264 MPEG 4 is the perfect file format for uploading your videos to you tube. Also, we are now able to compress your video to a FLASH Video (FLV). We also offer video compression for CD and DVD. MPEG Compression is the best for this. By compressing your video to an MPEG I file, you can distribute it on a CD allowing anyone with a computer to view it. These CD’s can automatically play or be clicked on for viewing. MPEG II compression is used for DVD and produces very high quality compression, but can also be used as a means to transfer video from one system to another for editing purposes. H.264 MPEG 4 offers excellent results for HD high definition video. We can create a 1920 x 1080p H.264 file for bluray, youtube, website, etc… Also, we can down-convert an HD video file to SD standard definition if needed.

Furthermore, we can digitize your videotapes to high quality uncompressed digital computer files so you can edit them the way you want on your computer! For the PC, we convert to AVI files and for the MAC, we covert to Quick Time files. Uncompressed AVI and Quick Time files yield the best quality and compatibility available. We can provide these files to you on an external hard drive that you simply connect to your computer via USB and start editing. Thus, you don’t have to worry about buying expensive playback equipment or the long tedious hours it takes for digitization. By having us transfer your videos to a hard drive you will have the highest digital quality available as well as the most convenient / compatible files for your editing software such as iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere, etc…

Used their service once and highly recommend them. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. Explained all my options in a way that was really easy to understand, and I liked how they have a DVD display set up in the front room so you can visualize how your product will turn out. My DVD was done well within the promised turnaround, and when I came to pick it up, they went through each chapter with me to make sure they had edited it correctly. The DVD turned out great.

Took 2 albums of recorded music and a cassette tape to them. The cassette was a “letter” from my parents to me when I was in college and living overseas. I haven’t listened to it in years. It was so great to get the dvd and be able to hear my parents voices once again (they passed away years ago). It’s nice to have this. The quality is great. The cost was average. The service was superior. He said it would take 2-3 weeks and he kept his promise. I will return with VHS tapes shortly and hope that I can get old movies to convert as well.

We turned over our wedding photos and entire collection of old family videos, cassettes and other outdated formats to be digitized. They did a great job! They organized our mess and returned a hard drive with everything on it. Highly recommend.

You did a great job on transferring my Aida video to DVD. I actually tried to do it at home, but was unsuccessful at getting the tape to play without serious tracking issues on my own BETA recorder. There is just a minimum of tracking noise in the first act of the DVD, which is FAR better than I was able to achieve, and then it disappears. The sound throughout is superb. This recording contains what I believe to be the greatest moment in opera televised history. It has never been released commercially. So it is a real pleasure to finally have it back and viewable in my collection.

After attending my 50th high school reunion, I trusted Audio Video Workshop with a 50-year-old vinyl recording of my high school concert choir (class of 64!). Many of my classmates were interested in a digital version of the record, so AV Workshop produced 24 CDs and MP3 versions. They completed the job in just a few days, and did a marvelous job of cleaning up the inevitable pops and hisses on such an old record. I received many positive comments from my classmates, commending Audio Visual Workshop for the excellent quality of the CDs and MP3s.
