The Avid TechDVD - VADA Video And DVD Australia
Avid Tech is a well known,respected and established media transfer company in South Gippsland Victoria which incorporates VADA video and DVD Australia as our production company.
Avid Tech was founded following a conscious decision to do the Tree Change thing
that so many people are doing these days, we chose Wonthaggi as a sea change, although it would mean a lack of facilities and amenities required for a small business of this type to succeed and flourish, but it has done so over the past 3 years or so.
The foundation for Avid Tech has always been the pursuit of technical excellence
in video and 35mm slide scanning and the ever growing avid technical interests of the owner (Jonathon) in high tech film frame by frame scanning technology.
Avid TechDVD is the pioneer of frame by frame stop motion capture in Victoria and has been an inovative leader in affordable film transfers of the highest quality possible while keeping costs down by employing high end effiecent technical soloutions including multi core digital video editing workstations exceeding industry specifications. Annual upgrades help to keep Avid Tech DVD at the forefront.
There are never any energy wasting old tech gear, every addition of euipment must undergo an energy audit and comply with stringent standby power saving and must contain only safe to recycle components and materials.

We love what we do and we think it shows, we take considerable care to make a consistent and presentable presentation using technical mastery to facilitate our art with your family memories.
It's Showtime
You asked us to be visible and set ourselves apart from the others, we have done so and we also disclose our film transfer / conversion equipment and methods so you can see for yourself why Avid TechDVD is so far in front.
Others don't want you to know what they use or how they do thier transfers, some cliaim others may copy them. All we can say is bring it on, we have nothing to hide and we strongly believe that if you are paying for a premium service you have every right to know what you are getting exactly. Our cards are on the table for all the world to see and what's more you can even come in to see how your film is converted, no one else offer such openness and integrity. Little wonder Victoria's first choice for film transfer is Avid Tech.
The Best
We don't make silly claims or try to mislead, what you see is what you get.
It is correct that we use the best affordable transfer system available on the palnet today, ( ours is newer than thiers) DV8 Sniper 2008 model, our digital workstations feature the absoloute last word in current dual and quad core Intel based systems. We impellent the best high end custom programmed COV Clarity Of Vision video codec programmed for us by a world famous German company, we also use world class Canopus hardware encoders, digital converters and software soloitions.
Worlds best DVD Media by Verbatim. we have used these for 3 years without a single defective disk, we only use the best so you can relax knowing we would never ever give you a no name or substandard disk.

Competitive Pricing Policy
We offer premium services at competitive pricing, we are definitely not the dearest and not the cheapest either, but ponder this comparison for value.
Ordinary Projector transfers usually have added fees and heavy handed minimum
set up or DVD authoring fees (some charge both) and worse still an additonal fee for the disc, phew, no wonder everyone is confused, even I don't get it. What seems cheap could actually cost you more.
Don't be fooled by the impossibly low costs of $2 a minute you see peddled on the net, if it is too good to be true you know the saying and it applies. These days you have to heed the old warning "You get what you pay for" and it is true.
Because we are specialists our minimum fee is $44.00 plus postage for Super 8 and 8 mm Frame by frame transfers to DVD.
Heres how you could find out how a cheap 10 reel transfer can burn you.
Minimum fee $100
$2.00 per minute $80.00
DVD $5.00
Music $5 per reel $50.00
total $235.00 Avid TechDVD cost $250.00
We could give you more examples but this is fairly typical, don't get carried away by a $15.00 saving when you get the DVD you will find an ordinary projector based transfer made on a cheap no name DVD and if you are lucky the disc might actually be printed or at least have a sticker which can come off and damage your DVD Player, you would have lost 25% of the image size as projectors crop the image whereas FXF is to the edge of the frame.
If you are looking for a cheap transfer we can't help you, sure our service is premium but we can also offer a basic transfer at substantially lower cost with heaps more quality and it is still FXF Frame by Frame especially useful for home editing you can order a data disk for edititng as well as a playable DVD.
The Last Word
So there you have it, we have outed ourselves and bared our souls, we have shared what we do and told you of the love we put into everything we do, our finest equipment is disclosed and you now know Avid TechDVD stands for high quality services including Frame By Frame Super 8 & 8mm film transfer to DVD. VHS to DVD, 35mm slide scanning and more options than most could ever hope to match.
