Can you transfer movies to a DVD?
Yes, however, we can only do one transfer of a movie so you can watch it on your American (NTSC) DVD player. We will NOT make multiple copies of any copyrighted material. 

Do you ship worldwide?
At the present time we only process orders from within the United States. Any orders received from outside the U.S. will be refused and returned to the sender. This is mainly because of high shipping rates and the fact that it is hard for us to guarantee delivery and the quality of orders shipped to other countries. 

Foreign Conversion Info

    If you or your clients view video tapes that are from outside of the United States, you must first  convert  the tape to the American format (NTSC).

    There are 3 main television standards in use throughout the world. The system used in America & Canada is called "NTSC".  Western Europe and Australia use a system called "PAL", and Eastern Europe and France use "SECAM". Without standards conversion, it is impossible to view a video program that is recorded in a foreign country without first converting the tape.

    High-Tech Productions offers conversion services in all of the world standards, for every type of tape, and at very low competitive prices. Orders are processed and shipped within 24 hours. You will get back your original tape plus a new converted disk ready for playing on Any American DVD Player.

    All video's are processed using the latest in state-of-the-art digital equipment. Tapes are shipped right to your location via United Parcel Service or Priority Mail. If your in a hurry, overnight FedEx delivery is also available.
