Latest Updates

The New digitalFAQ.com Almost Done! 

In July or August 2010, the new and final version of this site should finally be live! Once the CMS is up, we'll post weekly featured articles here on the homepage, along with other unique and useful content. 

Many new guides are also on the way. And not just for digital video -- our information is expanding into all digital media, from digital photography to web design and software-based print design. Plus all the non-software theory and concepts that go into making great digital media!

If you've been to the forum, you've already seen the new overall look. Here's a sneak peak of the new main site code in action: 

 

NOTE: During the code move, which will coincide with a server move, we may experience several hours of downtime. And for several days, there may be bugs to iron out.


About The Digital FAQ

What began as a single video guide in 2002 has exploded into a full-fledged digital media information site. We at digitalFAQ.com strive to provide services and information for those that want to be part of the digital media revolution. Our specialty is digital video and the DVD format (including DVD-R, DVD+R). We offer VHS to DVD conversion services, video restoration services, and free guides for the do-it-yourselfers out there. Guides cover the full spectrum for creating DVDs; this includes capturing, editing, converting, encoding, restoring, authoring, burning, copying, presentation (menus/cases), and buyer's guides. The web design and photography sections are for future expansion.
Did Our Site Help You?

If any of this information has helped you, even a small Paypal payment of $5 would be appreciated. That's less than the price of a magazine, but with content that I hope you've found to be far more useful than what you find on the bookstore racks.

More money was spend on server upgrades in summer 2010, as well as several nice guide/review updates (mostly as forum stickies) -- plus MANY new forum posts -- so please make a donation to keep this place alive and growing.


Our Articles and Services

We aim to be a no-jargon site:

Although this site will likely introduce you to new terms and new ideas, we reject the common practice of using excessive technical jargon. 

Digital media is hard enough without use of a foreign language! All services and related correspondence will use common language so that the client will understand what is happening at all times. All guides on this site should be read from top-to-bottom, especially the intros and overviews, as they explain common video terms.

Video restoration services:

If you have a video that is proving difficult to capture, and buying professional grade equipment (proc amp, TBC, S-VHS VCR, etc) is not a viable option, this site offers restoration and conversion services. 

Prices start at $25 per DVD, and can go up based off a sliding scale that depends solely on the length and severity of the video to be converted or restored. See our videotape-to-DVD restoring services page for info.
