- Low cost to produce in bulk (1000 with full colour on-disk printing for less than 50p each).
- Low cost to produce ONE! (for a special presentation a single DVD is still less than £20 dropping to £12.50 for 10 or more).
- High perceived value

DVD authoring and production
Our state-of-the-art DVD authoring software allows for the creation of: complex menu systems; multiple camera angles; multiple languages and on-screen captions.
Of course there are times when you want to shoot a short message and deliver it on your website or by email to your clients. On other occasions you may want to deliver a longer, more in-depth message. You may also want that message to be delivered in full screen, broadcast quality video. For these times DVD is by far the best method.
What about high-definition video?
VHS is dead. CD-ROM is dead. DVD is slowly becoming HDVD which will deliver high definition video to your high definition flat screens or computers. However, HDVD players are few and expensive at the moment.
At ElstreeDV we can record and edit in high-def but would recommend standard definition until HDVD players are much more commonplace.
