The average video tape is 15 years old and has a resolution of 240 horizontal lines. Today, the average Standard Definition (SD) TV has over 500 lines of resolution while a High Definition (HD) TVs have 1080 lines of resolution. 

If you have a high resolution SD or HD TV and have tried to play a 15 year old video tape then you are already aware of the issue with transferring you video tape to DVD without any improvement. The TV has to "blow up" the 240 line resolution image from the video tape without any quality improvement. This is like taking a 4x6 photo and blowing it up to a poster size of 16x24. It will look very grainy (see below). Simply transferring video tapes without improvement is unacceptable. You wont be happy at all when you play your DVD on your SD or HD TV.

This is why we've created our Restoration technology. Except for a Hollywood movie studio, you wont find any other company offering an improvement on your video tapes like our Gold or Platinum process*.

Below, we are showing the different between the Silver process and our Gold process. What we are using below is video in average condition so you can get an honest idea of what to expect. The Silver process has no restoration so the DVD will look just like the Original Video.
 

The Restoration Difference
Original Video	Scratch/Noise Elimination
Scratch/Noise Elimination: Over 90% of the video we see has noticeable video noise (graininess). In this case, we were able to remove more than 70% of the video noise. Note: The fixed video clip on the right has also had the exposure and color shift correction as well (explained below).
Original Video	Exposure Correction
Exposure Correction: In this example, the original video was most likely a little under exposed and as the video aged, it got darker as well. In this case, we were able to completely correct the exposure problem.
Original Video	Color Correction
Color Correction: Over 70% of the video we see has color shifting to some extent. As the video ages and the chemicals on the video break down, the image will typically shift toward red (as in this example), blue or yellow. In this case, we were able to totally correct the color shift.
