Why DVD Infinity? What makes our DVDs so special?
 

 
DVD Infinity is Australia's leading providor and the pioneer of DVD based solutions for the home, professional and corporate markets. We offer unique and innovative DVD solutions for all your requirements. The organisation was established at the beginning of DVD history by a team of post graduate qualified professionals with backgrounds in information technology, video and still photography, graphic design, engineering and business who saw the huge potential of DVD. We introduced the first affordable professional DVD Production service for the consumer market back at the beginning of 2001, were the first to offer frame scanning of cinefilm to the Southern Hemisphere at the beginning of 2002 and the first professional cinefilm DVDs (scanning customers' film) for the consumer market at the beginning of 2002. At the start of 2008, we offered the first professional Blu-ray productions to the consumer market. We are constantly striving to bring new and exciting products to market.

DVDs are our specialty. It is all we do. It is what we do better than anyone else.



Whether you want someone to professionally preserve your old family films, provide new marketing or training ideas for your organisation, or create an interactive DVD for your new feature film, turn to DVD Infinity.


Our commitment to quality
We are constantly upgrading our suite of professional equipment and software to ensure we use the very best possible technology. This means, if it exists somewhere in the world, acquiring it, and if not, creating it. Much of our equipment and software has been designed and created by in-house engineers. Our proprietary processes are fully digital and even our cables ensure superior fidelity. We use a combination of the best automated processes and highest skilled human operators to ensure the highest possible quality. Every DVD is quality reviewed and visually inspected before it leaves the laboratory.
  • highest quality professional technology(no low end equipment such as DVD recorders, consumer grade DVD creation hardware or software or film projectors) for better images
  • highest quality professional staff trained to DVD Infinity's high standards
  • specialist staff - each staff member has a specific job whether it be film scanning, editing or DVD authoring, he/she is a true master in his/her own area.
  • highest quality highest resolution professional colour thermal printing directly on your DVD - no low quality inkjet printing or laser labels
  • highest quality media(no cheap or no name brands) - this means your disk will play in more players
  • multiple DVD media options(not just DVD-R or just DVD+R) - ensures higher compatibility
  • no more than 100 minutes per DVD(> 100 minutes may cause unacceptable pixelation) - cleaner pictures
  • scene selections at appropriate rather than preset or random points(created by skilled operators) on all Deluxe packages
  • compression (bit rate) is digitally optimised to the minute(not just the hour) - means higher quality images
  • Hollywood grade compression - means highest quality images on your DVD
  • multiple tapes per DVD if desired - easier to keep things together and less storage required
  • ability to mix different formats of film, video and stills in any order to achieve what you want
  • dedicated to DVD - this means greater experience, more professional equipment, hardware and software and better techniques and processes
  • our DVDs even come with an opening scene, just like the Hollywood Blockbusters, as a stamp of our high quality
  
  • Highest quality cinefilm transfers on the planet
  •     We offer the highest quality Super 8, Standard 8 (aka Regular 8, cine 8 and double 8), Pathe 9.5mm and 16mm cinefilm transfers on the planet. Our revolutionary proprietary processing and individual frame by frame scanning provide unparalleled detail, colour clarity, contrast, sharpness and brightness. Our transfers are completely flicker free, have no hot spots, streaks, motion blur, ghosting, frame blending, wobble or uneven distribution. What's more, you will receive up to 25% more viewable image from each frame with a DVD Infinity transfer. We perform minor colour and exposure correction and carefully remove any blanks and excessive camera shake. Also because we scan your film rather than use a projector (or projector based system such as direct film to dvd, telecine chain or aerial telecine), your film is not subject to the damaging effects of tension or hot lamps. We received the accolade of Best Solution Provider in a recent article by Australian MacWorld (Sept 2004).
      
  • Highest quality negative and slide transfers on the planet
  •     As part of our proprietary processing, we remove scratches, cobwebs, dust, mould and mildew, correct over/under exposure and faded colour, crop and reorientate your slides and negatives before transferring them to one of our unique DVD or CD Photo Gallery or Animated Photo Album packages. Each image is individually processed manually to optimise the picture quality. Using the highest quality professional film scanners available together with our proprietary processing and image enhancement professionals, we ensure the best results possible.
      
  • Highest quality home video transfers on the planet
  •     Using the most professional equipment available, we digitally optimise your video signal, reduce noise and distortion for crisp, clean and clear pictures and generally enhance your images, cutting blanks, static and obviously unintentional shoots (for example where the camera cap has been left on or the camera has been shooting the ground) as well as improving the clarity of muffled audio, before transferring your precious video to DVD. We add event chapter points for each change in event (eg. where you are horse riding on a beach and then go to a children's birthday, an event chapter is generated for easy searching). We even optimise the DVD compression to the nearest minute not just the nearest hour. This is important in bringing out the best of your footage. It is the only way to professionally archive your memories. We maintain your video in its native format and transfer no more than 100 minutes to retain the highest quality possible. We also use Hollywood grade compression rather than the low cost low quality compression used by others.

    We could transfer your Australian/International (PAL) format video to American (NTSC) format to make it work all around the world. However, this would severely reduce the quality(from 625 lines for PAL to only 525 lines for NTSC), and also means that your disk would not be 100% compatible with all TVs in Australia.
      
  • Most professional and innovative corporate DVDs
  •     We create the most unique corporate DVDs for any occassion. Whether you are after a solution for marketing or promotion, information dissemination, legal depositions, training or archiving, DVD Infinity can help. Our interactive DVDs bring new scope to any application. Let us help you think outside the sphere.
      
  • Most professional DVD Productions
  •     For professional filmmakers, videographers and photographers, we offer digitally optimised broadcast grade multi pass variable bit rate encoding, real time quality control and review, and customised cover and DVD. We add animated menus and scene selections, the same as any Hollywood DVD, only featuring your own footage. Full video editing and professional DVD authoring is available. We can add captions, special effects and transitions, subtitles and multiple sound tracks. We can basically do anything that you've seen in any DVD. We can also produce from one to one million copies as required. We can create recordable DVDs, DVD-5s, DVD-9s and DVD-10s. Add to this, DVD Infinity's impressive quality assurance and control and there you have it, the professional DVD production you are looking for.

    Our attention to detail
    Our technicians are perfectionists with acute eyes for detail. We strive to bring out the very best from your materials. Nothing less is acceptable. Whether it is optimising a video signal, transferring 70 year old cinefilm or designing a custom menu system, we always go that little bit further. If a video needs to go across multiple DVDs, we don't just cut your wedding video in the middle of the wedding vows, your child's birthday just before he blows out a candle or in the middle of a corporate presenter's speech. All the products we produce undergo a strict quality control procedure (including visual and digital checks) to ensure highest possible standards. After all, we are handcrafting your masterpiece not just transferring data, and that masterpiece will be around for a long time to come. Furthermore, from the time we take possession of your materials, we treat them with the same respect we treat our own.

    Our dedication to service
    We are available through our professional sales office, located centrally in Crows Nest for your convenience between 10am to 6pm Mon - Fri and 10am to 1pm Sat. We are also open 24 hours, seven days a week via our website, providing a level of service above your expectations. We provide the flexibility, resources and ideas to meet all your requirements. We go the extra mile and we are not happy unless you, the customer, are happy. We aim for 110% customer satisfaction. Here are some of what our clients are saying:

       
     
     
    Just a word of thanks for the excellent job you did on the transfer of the old 8mm film to DVD, IDE external drive and VHS. These were excellent and I am very happy with the quality.
    HRH Crown Prince Tupouto'a, Tonga

    The DVDs were received yesterday, for which many thanks. I had the same film transferred by two top labs in the UK and your quality was by far the best. I will be sending the rest of my films to you, as well as transferring funds.

    Regards,
    Edgar, UK

    I received the shipment of my first order to DVD Infinity, yesterday, April 13, 2004.
    Because of the premium costs involved, I was expecting something special in terms of quality. Bruce, I was not disappointed! You and your people have met, and in some cases exceeded, our expectations. My wife and I are thankful that we have been able to salvage a record of our family to pass along to our grandchildren, and perhaps, to their children. I've seen some examples of transfers of film to DVD in the States, and they don't come close to the resolution and clarity of the original film that you were able to achieve. The artwork on the covers and the labels was outstanding. I know this doesn't happen by accident, but is the product of a standard for quality that you and your people are determined to maintain. Keep up the good work and you will always stand out among the hundreds of vendors who claim to provide the same service...

    I hope to have a second order ready to send you in a couple of days. I had continued to edit 8mm film, while I was waiting for you to complete the first order, hoping that I would be favorably impressed with your work. My second order will be about the same size as the first, i.e., three reels of approximately 400 ft. each of 8mm silent film. As in the case of the first order, a cover letter with a detailed listing of scenes, will accompany the second order. I request that you apply whatever credit I have remaining from the first order to the cost of the second order. I will email you a note when this order is mailed...
    Regards
    Rufus, Arizona, USA

    Received the package this afternoon. I'm still in tears of happiness. What a great job you did. Your music selection and scene selection is PERFECT!!! You have no idea how great it is to see on DVD loved ones that past away many years ago. Many scenes were not visible via projector. I am already telling people how satisfied I am with your service and hope to send you referrals. I had no idea that you would have this done so quickly. My parents are going to love this for Christmas. THANK YOU once again from the bottom of my heart.

    Sincerely,
    Mike, Atlanta, USA

    I just received the video. Its quality is fantastic, and the turn around time was so speedy, I am in awe. I am recommending your service to the students in my making better home videos class and to all my friends who have old films. Thank you very much.

    I will now take a look at my super 8 film, and if merited, I will send that in as well.

    Regards,
    Dan, Illinois, USA

    video received. Your transfer quality is unbelievable !

    Many thanks,
    Regards,
    Mike, South Africa

    Terrific job, very pleased, top, top, top. I'm going to recommend you to my ex-wife she has about 2,500 feet of 8 mm film from 1958 Africa.
    Ron, New Orleans, USA

    Thank you for the completed Thaipusam Film to DVD transfer (2 copies) which were delivered today. I have seen the results twice and was very impressed with the quality, especially the recorded sound from the small magnetic stripe on the side of the film.
    I am now trying to find a seller of a film editor in good working condition so that I can sift thru the masses of film I have to decide which portions to convert to DVD...
    Best wishes and thank you for a job well done.

    Harold, Singapore

    I will have no hesitation in recommending your company to anybody that asks.
    Thanks again.
    Eric, Ontario, Canada


    I just wanted to let you know that we received the DVD's and watched it last night. Thank you so much for the great work, they are fabulous and well worth the expense. If you would like a testimonial from me I would be more than happy to give one.

    Kristine, New Jersey, USA

    I want to thank you for your professional services and for producing a fine product in a timely fashion. I look forward to doing future business with you again.

    Sincerely,
    Denice, California USA

    We would like to take this time to thank you for a job well done, we presented the DVD at Christmas time when most of the familly was here and everybody was impressed by the quality obtained from a 8mm film.

    Thanks again
    Julie, Quebec, Canada

    Erin, New Zealand

    I received my DVD today. It is brilliant and everything you said it would be and more. I only wish my husbands' early filming was equal to the work you do. You will be hearing from me in future and also hearing from my friends. I spoke to a friend over from Scotland who was interested also. I gave him your details. Thanks again and I look forward to my children and my brother's children enjoying the DVD.
    Karen, Ringwood, Victoria, Australia

    Ripper! Keep up the great work..Saving "old" Australia..Regards & thanks "Once history is lost,it is history
    Brian, Emerald, QLD
    This note is long overdue but I wanted to send you an unsolicited compliment on your handling of the Super-8 film that I sent you late last year. You may recall that I requested that you make two DVDs for me and that the original material was a collection of very amateur family clips.

    The disks that you sent me were, as you promised, very clear and far more steady than I expected. One segment in particular I remember as washed-out, rather jumpy footage of my paternal grandmother who died twenty years ago. Last Christmas, at our family gathering, I was able to show the film to my father (it brought back a lot of memories for him) and my extended family. My youngest brother had no recollections of her and neither my daughter nor any of her cousins had ever seen more than one or two old photographs of her.

    For that privilege alone I thank you ... but the quality of your work and the service you provided were superb! Everything from the simple but stylish presentation in the case to the photo on the disks to the menu system were very appropriate to the subject matter.

    I might add that I have spoken to a number of people about your service and have referred one directly to you.

    Thank you very much!
    Graeme, Bomaderry NSW, Australia

    I have now had a chance to look at some of the DVD's you made for us and I want to let you know that we are very pleased with the results! Actually the quality is better then we have ever seen it, projected directly from film.
    Great job, thanks a lot. And the covers are great.

    Franz, Hawthorndene, SA, Australia

    You recently transferred some sixty year old standard 8mm movie to MiniDV for me. I have just viewed the DVD I have had made from that and am amazed and delighted at the result. The colour and clarity have been enhanced and there is a new freshness to the images. From the master MiniDV I will now able to create a DVD which will include commentary, music and new titles; adding a new dimension to these precious images from so long ago. Thank you for doing a great job.

    Wally, Eagle Point, Victoria, Australia
    Many thanks for the conversion job you did on my old super8 film. The digitising is certainly better than I could ever have hoped. As my old Granny used to say, "You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear", but you surely came close. Both the DVD and the Minidv conversions were well worthwhile. I am now having fun mastering the film editing software that came with my new Sony Handycam. Friends of mine will be in contact with you soon, if not already, to have you work on their movies.
    Great job.
    Many thanks.
    Sincerely
    John, Spearwood, WA, Australia

    Thank you so much for completing my recent film conversion. Whilst I certainly appreciate the finished product, equally important to me has been the prompt, reliable and courteous way with which you conduct your business. It is a pleasure to engage with a company who responds so immediately via e-mail and in such a personall and personable manner. Many other businesses to day could take note.
    Gratefully,
    Brian, Bendigo, Victoria, Australia

    May I take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for the sterling work you performed with my family's precious old standard 8 home movies. The DVD you created is destined to become a priceless heirloom, and will bring much joy, happiness and memories to my siblings and I. Thank you most warmly.

    Gerry, Caloundra, QLD, Australia

    I just wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the DVD I had copied from a mini dv tape that had juice spilt on it.

    Thanks heaps!! I didn't end up losing any video from my holiday. Its great!!
    Susan, Sherwood, QLD, Australia

    Today, I collected from our local post office the 3 DVDs that your company produced for me from an 8mm cinefilm taken of our wedding (which was 39 years ago!).

    Due to an oversight by an Australia Post contractor, I received notice to collect the package only today – ten days after the package was received by our local post office. Therefore, we did not view the DVD until this evening.

    My wife and I want you to know that we are very impressed with the quality that you have achieved from an old amateur cinefilm (though it was shot by someone who at the time was an ABC film cameraman) and would like to thank you for the care and attention you have given to our order.

    We will certainly recommend your company to any of our friends who seek similarly high quality results.

    Congratulations, and thanks again.

    Peter, Kambah, ACT, Australia

    I just recieved my tape and wanted to say thanks for the excellent job you have done with my super 8 footage.
    It looks better than i could have imagined.
    I have a few more reels that will be coming your way shortly.
    Could you please supply me job sheet so i can get them off to you as soon as they are ready.

    Thanks again, you truely made my day.

    Chris, Prahran, Victoria, Australia

    The transfer you have done is magnificent given material that is 45 years old.

    David, East Brighton, Victoria, Australia
    Just wanted to drop you a quick line to tell you how impressed I was with your service. I was apprehensive at first as I have never done anything like this over the net before. I was very glad to have my fears allied when your package arrived. Thanks for your prompt service and the DVD's are great. I have already highly recommended you to family and friends and will continue to do so.

    So thank you once again

    Regards

    Mandy, Boronia Heights, QLD, Australia

    We just wanted to thank you again, this time in writing, for the very professional and high quality work and service you provided in transferring our very special cine-film memories onto DVD.
    Our whole family has gained much enjoyment from watching the results of all your work and all are very impressed with the quality and presentation of the material.
    We very much appreciate your dedication and excellent personal service and know that these qualities will further your good reputation!
    We will be happy to recommend you to others seeking advice in your field of expertise.

    Thank you again.
    All the very best
    Julie and Brett, Killara NSW, Australia

    The DVD's arrived on Tuesday (28 Feb). The conversion to DVD seems to have gone very well indeed! I am very impressed with what you have been able to do with a very old piece of film. My brother (one of the actors) is going to be really be surprised when he sees the results of your work.

    Thanks for all your flexibility in satisfying my various requirements.

    Regards,
    Steve, ACT, Australia

    Hi There, I recently sent you some 8mm film to be converted to DV tape and DVD....I just got it back and I am very happy with the results you achieved..The DVD seems a lot brighter and clearer than watching the original film with the projector..Thanks for doing such an excellent job...

    Regards
    Richard, Bajool, QLD, Australia

    Just letting you know that the DVD for Bev & Lindsay Brown & Family arrived yesterday. What a surprise to have a beautiful cover with some of the family pictures on it - you even picked the correct family members!! You have copied the super 8 movies fantastically & it will always be something that we & our family will treasure. Thanks for a job well done. Bev & Lindsay Brown, Victoria, Australia



    Job is fantastic. 100 % timing. Thankyou.

    The big event is this weekend.
    Catherine and John, Junee, NSW, Australia


    Just wanted to thank you for the great work you did, transferring my Super 8 films onto HD. I managed to copy them onto my Mac without mishap and they look fantastic. I'm sure my family will be rapt when they see the final result!

    Thanks again for a job well done,

    Monika, Victoria


    Thank you for transferring my Super8 movies to DVD, I am absolutely delighted with the results!!!

    I now need 3 additional copies for family members. ...
    Frank, South Australia


    Thanks again for your incredible service yesterday. It was really appreciated.
    Kate, Cromer NSW, Australia

    I have just returned from overseas and now have had my first chance to look at the videos of the standard and super 8's that you did for me. The results are spectacular. In your publicity blurb you said that the quality can be even better than the projected film. Well I can most certainly endorse that.

    Thanks for doing such a grand job.
    Best regards
    John, Rye VIC, Australia


    I've received the films and DVD back and I just wanted to thank you for the amazing quality of the conversion. Not having seen the films for years I wasn't sure how the conversion would turn out, but the result is outstanding!

    Many thanks for your work!
    Kind regards
    Chris, Port Melbourne, VIC, Australia

    Thanks ... Received them safely.

    Fantastic job by the way, including the reel-reel audio conversion. Quite amazing to hear my fathers voice for the first time in over 30 years.

    Regards,
    Glenn, Dandenong, VIC, Australia

    I have only just had the chance to look at some of the mini DV tapes you produced and I am very pleased with the quality of your conversion of my original 8mm movies. At some point I will send you some more 8mm films to convert but at this stage just wanted to acknowledge receipt of first batch and compliment you on the high quality.
    Barry, Forest Lake, QLD, Australia


    Thank you so much for the top job you did on my family slides. It was wonderful to see them in a modern format. I know my brothers and sisters will really enjoy them.

    In the new year I will organise myself to send you some super 8 films to put onto DVDs.

    I am over the moon with the job. Thank you.

    Kathy, Taree NSW, Australia

    Firstly my apologies for not writing to you any sooner. The package arrived a couple of weeks ago and was way above expectations...thank you for doing such an excellent job with what was probably challenging material.

    I sent a copy of the DVD to my mother in the UK...you'll be thrilled to hear that it brought her to tears!! Fond memories for us all...thanks.

    Cheers, Marek, Hawthorn East, Victoria, Australia

    Just a quick note to say "Thank you" so much for the dvd prepared for my parents 35th wedding anniversary we were very pleased with the final product. My parents were very shocked and emotional, they loved it.
    We will be in touch soon for some quotes on possible further jobs.

    Thank you again.

    Kind Regards

    Paola, Croydon Park, NSW, Australia

    I just wanted to thank you for the great job you did in converting our 8mm film to DVD for us. We're really happy with the results. It's so much easier to view the footage now and rediscover some old family memories.

    Thanks again.

    Regards,

    Michelle, Hampton East, Victoria, Australia

    Received your DVD today... I cant thank you enough for the great job you did with it. Brought back a few sad memories as my husband died a few years ago but thanks again for your wonderful work with it.

    Regards, Teresa, North Rockhampton, QLD, Australia

    Good day,

    Just wanted to drop a line to thank you for an excellent job in transferring the old 8mm film. I had a look at the 42 year old film digital transfer and I was amazed at the high quality I got back. It was amazing to see these images again. Very happy with the results. Christmas will be amazing this year.

    Thanks

    Charles, Marrickville, NSW, Australia

    Just a quick note to say thank you for what you did with the reels of film, the result is fantastic. Will certainly recommend you to anyone else wanting the same done.

    Symon, Southbank, Victoria, Australia

    Thanks so much for your fabulous service today - we've spent the last hour laughing and reliving our wedding day and I will highly recommend your service to our friends.

    Cheers

      Our promise of value
    We wanted to bring professional DVD Production into the reach of every household not just the film companies with multimillion dollar budgets. We have achieved this and are constantly trying to find ways to add more value to what we produce. We don't quote prices on the web because each job is unique and hence prices vary. However, when we quote a price, there are no hidden charges.

    We often have people tell us that our quality is so good that we should charge more, but its not about charging more for us, its about creating happy customers. Our prices are the best value you'll get. Sure, we could cut costs by cutting quality (by using cheap equipment or materials) but what's the point of preserving your memories (or masterpieces) unless you preserve them well? We will not be undersold for the same product at the same high quality.

    It is our vision that by the year 2010, DVD Infinity will be a household name associated with DVD production. Delivering results to our clients is our passion and because we are an Australian company all monies remain in Australia.

    HIGHEST QUALITY, BEST SERVICE - ALL AT A VALUE FOR MONEY PRICE!
