Jeff Dodge Visual Services is not a traditional Duplication house.   But we do provide DVD transfers and multiple duplicates within a reasonable amount of time.  But DVD Authored Masters that need to be printed & bulk orders of 50 or more and will need at least 2 weeks notice before fulfillment (also please consider Superdigital for bulk orders & mastering). 

   In general;

  All DVD's are recorded in DVD-R format and are fully authored. 

  All Discs & Inserts are ink-printed and custom made (additional Logos / Images are welcome in PDF, JPG and Tiff Formats).

  All DVD's are limited to a 2 Hr Maximum (video will contain artifacting at any lower compression rates than this).

  All DVD transfers will include a Chapter Marker assigned every 30 minutes and accessible through the main menu.

  The client will receive 1 Complimentary DVD Master of Production.  A complimentary DATA Disc can be made upon request.  The cost for duplicates follows: 

   Transfers can incorporate a number of variables.  Once the tapes are digitized, the client has the option of DVD Authoring tools being applied.  Visual Services will provide free 30 Minute DVD Chapter markers on orders longer than 1 hr. 

   HDV or MiniDV Tape is another way of preserving masters at a higher quality (especially in DVCam mode but remember that's only 42 minutes of actual recording per 1 Hr cassette).

   For 8mm, Super 8mm & 16mm film transfers, please visit our friends at Keepsake Family Tree Video.

  DVD Authoring is another service we provide using the application DVD Studio Pro.  Like the other Final Cut Studio Suite programs, DVD Studio Pro offers complete interactivity with the editing process.  And it, too, has matured into a very professional and imaginative interface. 

   DVD's can be customized to fit any of your specific needs.  And while there are many alternatives for data storage, authored DVD’s can be artfully done and still serve a variety of  convenient purposes. All DVD's include a Main Menu Page and 30 - 60 minute Chapter markers for navigation (unless otherwise specified).

    Once an event or project has been digitized, it's not that difficult to produce an audio CD (especially in the case of music).   If you are looking at recording more than 2 Tracks of audio or you want a good set of studio ears for mixing down, you might want to talk with Aloha Sound since they are equipped with great multi-track recording gear and have been mastering complex mix-downs for a number of years. 

Do your own editing with Time Coded raw footage!

  As a courtesy to our customers, the Dodge Visuals team offers Time Coded DVD’s of all raw footage within 1 week of video recording for free (the cost is included in post production services).  This is a great way to familiarize yourself with all video footage shot and as well as allowing for precise editing instructions.  The more specific you can make the editing instructions, the less time a video editor spends editing and the larger cost-cutting impact on your overall budget.  While we are never afraid to venture an experience-based opinion, we ultimately want to see the client get exactly what they want.
