The simple answer is: we don’t recommend it. Years ago, DVDs were the standard way to watch family videos. But today, they are no longer the best format for preserving your memories. DVDs Don’t Hold Enough Data At Video to Digital Conversions, we capture and save your footage at a much higher quality than a standard DVD can handle. A standard single-layer DVD only holds 4.7GB of data, and even a dual-layer DVD only holds around...]]></description><link>https://www.videotodigital.com.au/post/why-we-don-t-copy-your-video-conversions-to-dvd</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c8ae13af19906fa1792507</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Mar 2026 04:53:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/00cbe9_d3f59d23d14f42da83f144b50ed4d01e~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>bursill1</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Using a Dedicated MiniDV Player Is Better Than a Camera for Tape Conversion]]></title><description><![CDATA[When it comes to converting MiniDV tapes to digital , many people assume that using the original camcorder is the best option. While this can work, it’s not the best method for quality or reliability .

Without it, even the best tapes can produce unstable or distorted results.
