Latest Updates

digitalFAQ.com Version 3 Almost Done! 

Throughout 2009, we made many to this site. Back in  March 2009, we rolled out a new design and added many guide updates. Sometime in January or February 2010, the new and final version of this site will be live! Once the CMS is up, we'll post a weekly featured article here on the homepage, along with other unique and useless content. 

Welcome

Welcome to 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?

As long as donations continue to trickle in, the guides shall remain free. I want them to be free as much as you want them to be free. However, this site is paid for out of my own pocket. 

If any of this information has helped you, even a lowly 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.

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


Our Articles and Information

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. Click here for info.














Guides are provided for free, so donations are appreciated. Site content and design © 2002-2010 The Digital FAQ
