Video Encoding & Electronic Delivery

Video encoding is the process of taking your existing tape, disc or original movie, as recorded by your video camera, web-cam or other capture device, and converting it to a digital file for delivery in a particular medium. DVD encoding uses this same digitizing process to transfer video onto a DVD. If you work with video, sooner or later you are going to want to commit your work to DVD. You need to make sure that you encode your footage in the best possible way for the best possible quality.
