When choosing the best way to encode your video footage the multitude of formats can be confusing; bit rates, compression ratio's and a plethora of assorted technical options can be hard work. We can help you choose the right encoding format to match your multimedia project.

Our approach to any problem is to 'keep it simple'.

All you need to do is tell us what you need to achieve and we will advise you on the best solution. The price you pay is equally clear and simple, based on the length of your footage and the type of encoding.

A major benefit gained by encoding your existing Video is that once encoded your footage can be used across an organisation many times over by anyone with a Mac or PC.

The encoded files are easily distributed by CD, DVD, local intranet or the web, and spread the cost of your Video production over more users and more uses. The result is You get more for your budget.

To help you and your clients maximise these possibilities we are developing our 'Enterprise Encoding™' service. Simply give us your master and we will return it encoded into a selection of digital formats, therefore maximising the creative potential.

Possible encoding formats range from AVI or Quicktime files (for inclusion in presentations), Jpeg (images which can be cut and pasted into documents), to Mpeg-1 encoding (for DVD authoring).

Most desktop computers are now built with DVD players, making it easy and convenient for users to view your footage from a DVD on their 'desktop'.

If you choose our DVD authoring service your footage will be authored to a DVD-R with your top menu and up to 8 chapter points included free. Your resulting DVD can then be used to produce copies with both our 'Short Run' DVD-R service or longer runs with our 'Pressed' DVD service.
