Sometimes when looking at your copy of your wedding dvd, family dvd, or your promotional dvd you want to grab a portion of it to be lifted off and copied to another one or perhaps into a video file you can use on YouTube, Vimeo, FaceBook or similar.
It’s difficult to achieve because the video footage on the DVD that you need to copy is encoded in a format that only the DVD player understands. To grab the portion of the video you want you need to:
- Use special software that allows you to select the portion of the disc you want to copy and export it in a format that YouTube and other video sharing sites understand.
- Play the DVD on the screen of your computer and use special screen capture software to “film” the portion you want as it plays on your computer screen.
Gold Coast Disc Copy has special equipment that can do this for you.
If you send the disc you want the part copied from to us we can do the job for you in the video format you require. Just let us know:
- The start time and end time or description of exactly the piece you want copied
- What you are going to use the footage for and where you are going to upload it to or copy it to
- How many copies of it you want if you want it recorded on to another DVD via duplication.
We have done this many times for different people:
- Emily wanted the “highlights” part of her wedding video extracted from her wedding video so that she could send copies of it to friends living overseas
- Gary has a promotional disk where his telephone details have changed so he wants the last part deleted from the disk as he doesnt have the original file
- Somebody filmed the whole school prize-giving and gave you a copy of the recording but you just want the portion that has your son or daughter on it
- You got a DVD of you Bungee jumping but you really only want the bit of you diving and not all the advertising stuff wrapped around it.
Contact Gold Coast Disc Copy if you want a part of your DVD or the whole disc extracted so that you can view it in another format that is more user friendly to places like YouTube, Vimeo, FaceBook or similar. For say a 3 minute sequence it should cost no more than $25 for a couple of different formats like iTunes or YouTube.
