problems with permission. If
the photograph is the work of a professional photographer or photographic
studio, you can contact them and ask for written permission to copy
it. Then we can go ahead. If
you cannot contact, or do not know, the studio or professional, the
general rule is that copyright lasts for the lifetime of the photographer
plus 50 years. 14.

xvi) DVD SLIDE SHOWS - Compatibility with different manufacturers of

Due
to the differences that exist between different manufacturers of dvd
players, we can offer no guarantee whatsoever that our discs will always
be compatible with the client's dvd player.
xvii) Tape, Video and Cine Film Transfers:
CINE
FILM TRANSFERS
Depending on the gauge of film, each 50ft (3") cine reel runs for
3 - 4 minutes. Each 200ft (5") reel runs for 12 -17 minutes and
each 400ft (7") reel runs for 24 - 28 minutes approximately. As
we do not use the thin 4 hour tapes the maximum recording time for Video
Tape is 3 hours. If you wish to view in the correct sequence all reels
and boxes must be clearly numbered.
If you have not viewed your films in recent years, we strongly advise
you to scan through the contents of your film(s) using a projector and
(assuming they are numbered) check the reel numbers correctly match
the numbers on the boxes, particularly numbers 6 and 9!.
Check also that all spools are wound the correct way round start to
finish. White leader tape should be found at the start of the spool
and not in the centre. If your films require editing we recommend transferring
the entire contents onto tape or disc then creating a simple edit list
using the time clock on the front of your video or disc player. A note
explaining how to do this will be found inside the cassette case that
accompanies the tape or disc. Should we detect a soundtrack already
on the film it will be recorded at no extra charge.
If you intend to add some additional material at a later date it is
important that you request a 3 hour tape. Be warned however that this
is not possible with DVD as the discs have to be finalised. Do appreciate
that there will always be some loss in picture quality in the transfer
process whichever format you choose.
VIDEO TAPE & TO VIDEO TAPE TRANSFERS (INCLUDING FOREIGN CONVERSIONS)
All formats (VHS. Video 8, Mini DV Etc.) are the same around the world
but the run times and recording signals on the tape are different. Pal
is the system we use here in the U.K. . most of Europe, and all commonwealth
countries. It is therefore very important that the details of the country
and format are provided (e.g. to U.K. VHS).
Note that copyright material wiH require permission in writing from
the copyright holder. Special rates apply for obsolete or broadcast
formats. All editing work must be accompanied by an accurate edit list
with start and stop points in Hours, Minutes and Seconds using the time
counter on your video recorder or camcorder. Do remember to rewind the
tape and reset the counter to 0: 00:00 before you start. There will
always be a small loss in picture quality in the transfer process, especially
if the recordings are in long play or from the American N.T.S.C. system.
TRANSFERS TO DVD
The maximum recording time for DVD is 2 hours. Please be aware that
the fonnat is known as DVD 'R' and a few DVD players and computer drives
will not play the discs. To find out whether your machine will play
these discs you will need to check your manual or consult the dealer
where you purchased the machine. We cannot consider refunds or be held
responsible if the disc(s) will not play in your machine. If you are
about to purchase a DVD player do make sure it plays DVD'R's (DVD Recordable).
Slides, photos and negatives transfered to DVD will be processed in
a (rolling) slide show format the same as video tape. Up to 300 images
will fit onto one disc. Please be aware that the picture ratio is 4.3
non-wide screen, and once the disc is completed and finalised no additional
material can be added. Note that the discs are region zero which means
they will play in all DVD players around the world provided they are
DVD 'R' compatible.
