Sometimes you could almost swear we’ve never left the days of VHS vs. Betamax. There are just as many pro and consumer video formats today as there have ever been - only now, you’re dealing with tape formats, digital disc formats and computer video file formats. GreenhouseFX.tv can take individual video clips or an entire completed project and transfer them to any VHS format, DVD, or just about any computer video format.

Computer file conversion: We can convert video projects from tape, DVD or other computer video files into RealMedia, Windows Media, QuickTime, MPEG or AVI formats, and we plan on expanding our abilities with time. We can also convert your video into Shockwave Flash format, a medium which can be incorporated directly into your website - no more asking people to download a file from you, they can watch it online using a common plug-in that’s installed in nearly every internet browser on the market. We can scale your converted project for different resolutions and different bandwidths, from DVD-ready video to video clips that can be incorporated into Powerpoint presentations. Computer video files can also be recorded to tape or DVD.

DVD conversion: All DVDs are not created equal - if anything, the DVD picture is more complicated than the variety of VHS formats. Most DVDs are “region-encoded” to ensure that they can only be played in certain regions of the world, usually for copyright and licensing purposes. GreenhouseFX.tv can take your foreign region/format DVDs and transfer them to NTSC DVD-R or VHS tape in any standard (NTSC, PAL or SECAM).

VHS conversion: VHS videotapes may look the same on the outside, but this doesn’t mean they can be viewed anywhere in the world. Videos recorded in England and Europe can’t be viewed in a standard United States or Canadian VCR because the methods used to encode the audiovisual information on the tape vary in many parts of the world. Here’s the good news: GreenhouseFX.tv has the means to dub VHS videotapes from any other part of the world into a form viewable on your own VCR - and we can dub your video projects into other countries’ formats for your use internationally. Normally, these services require high-end video duplication houses with high-end fees, but GreenhouseFX.tv puts international format conversion within your reach without breaking the bank, using digital equipment to achieve great results. We can convert VHS video from or to NTSC, PAL and SECAM.
