What options do I have to choose from and which is better?
We offer DVD and portable HARDDRIVE as our standard options. There can be some pros and cons to each depending on the customer.
- DVDs are currently the most widely acceptable disc format. DVDs can be played and most home computers, video game consoles, and of course DVD players. The downside to DVDs are that they do not support HD video and are limited to only about 2 hours of standard definition video. If you plan to have more than a2 hours of video preserved, it will take multiple DVDs to do this without degrading the quality of the video. DVDs are also prone to scratches which can cause skipping and disable them from working.
- HARDDRIVES are portable devices you can plug into your computer, smart tv, and game consoles to watch individual video files. Nearly all recent generations of smart tvs and consoles support the playback of the file type/codec we use – h.264. You can also play your videos through a laptop or computer by connecting an HDMI cable from your laptop to your tv. This option is the best method for preserving and archiving your footage, while still allowing you to transfer your videos to DVD or other formats at a later time. If you have hundreds of hours of video, you could fit all of them on just one harddrive instead of using several discs.
