WHAT PEOPLE SAY

I would highly recommend Freeman Productions
Monique Beetge
Very happy with the service. Wonderful attention to detail. It was so nice to get rid of the pile of all of those tapes and have it all in one place. Very easy to share with other members of the family and to have a permanent record on one small usb. The staff kept me in the loop as to the progress of the job and because of the size of the collection the price was negotiated. I highly recommend this company.
Sandy Kerr
I am absolutely in awe of the service. I got my parents’ wedding video converted, and I almost cried seeing the finished product! Freeman Productions was absolutely the best from start to finish. I would definitely recommend them.

WHAT ARE SLIDES?
History
- High Definition Video (HDV) technology emerged in the early 2000s as a compact and affordable solution for capturing high-quality high-definition video on consumer and prosumer camcorders.
- HDV utilized digital tape formats, such as MiniDV and later MiniDV-HD, to record HD video using MPEG-2 compression, offering a balance between quality and storage efficiency.
- HDV played a significant role in transitioning video production from analog to digital, influencing the adoption of HD content creation and paving the way for modern digital video formats.
Downsides
- Over time, HDV tapes can degrade, leading to loss of quality, color fading, and even tape breakage, putting your precious memories at risk
- Finding working HDV tape players becomes increasingly challenging as technology advances, limiting your ability to relive your memories.
- By converting your HDV tapes to digital formats, you're safeguarding your memories against deterioration, ensuring compatibility with current technology, and opening up a world of possibilities for editing, sharing, and reliving your cherished moments whenever and wherever you choose.
- Tapes lack the versatility of digital formats, making it difficult to edit, share, or enjoy your videos conveniently on modern devices.
