-Expect about one hour of video content during a session with half hour of setup/wrap up.  Plan to complete all efforts within the scheduled time period.<br>

-The captured video file will be in .mpg or .mp4 formats and will be transferred to the patron's personal DVD to take home.  A two-hour video will need about 16GB of USB storage for the .mpg or .mp4 format.  An MP4 file is a compressed video file, that can be put on a thumb drive. A VOB is a file that is usually larger and best saved on a thumb drive with more than 16GB. A VHS or DVD can also be made into an MP4 file. <br>

-The video tape can be split into smaller topic-based segments during the conversion such as for a birthday party, vacation, graduation, etc. The result is small subject-based videos that can be uploaded to social media, loaded on a phone, or easily shared with family and friends. The digital video files will provide the best option to play and share video memories.  If needed a DV can be created during the conversion. <br>
