Video Additions
Concept
These are video options that can be and should be added to your current videos. Not all videos need these extra features. These are the prices before volume discounts are applied.
Brightness/Color Correction
An extra copy of the entire video is created that is automatically brightness and color adjusted for the scene. A darker scene than normal will be increased to be more appealing to the eyes. A bright overexpose scene will be reduced to again be more appealing to the eyes. This will provide two identical copies of the video.
Tablet/Phone New H265 Encoder
All tablets, phones, Apple computers use the new H265 streaming 4k encoder. This is a very computer intensive operation but the files are 4X smaller. This can be used where memory is very limited. A one video hour takes approximately 300 MB of space using this new H265 technology.
Volume Discounts
Concept
When I started this business several years ago I noticed that all the big guys did not have any volume discounts with their videos. I needed to convert 34 tapes with no volume discount was going to cost me a fortune. So I decided to create a business that offered a good volume discounts. They range from as little as 6 videos of 10% up to 50 videos with 50%. So the concept is the more videos you convert, the larger volume discount you get on the entire order.

The original format will be stored in addition to the conversion.
