DVD was first released in 1996 and was very successful as it could be used to record almost any digital data. Recordable DVD’s were available in single layer 4.7GB and dual layer 8.4GB. Widely used as a video recording format DVD’s could be played back in DVD players and computers alike.
DVD uses MPEG 2 compression in a file structure that limits files to under 1GB. Long recordings are spanned over multiple VOB files. We can recover these files and link them together to make one continuous file.
Recordable media such as DVD-R and DVD+R use a chemical dye formulation sandwiched between the plastic layers (in simple terms). The laser burns the dye causing changes in colour, this is the basis of how the data is stored. Sadly, it seems that the longevity of this media is compromised by exposure to light, heat and humidity and we are seeing DVD failure a lot sooner than expected.
We offer DVD data recovery and in most cases, we can recover files from optical media and convert these video files to files that are compatible with newer technology such as smart TV’s.
Prices start at $25 for a standard DVD to MP4 conversion. Additional charges may apply in the case of a full data recovery and conversion.
