Conversions / Encoding / Authoring

Tencrows Media Group carries an impressive array of professional-grade equipment to handle all types of file / tape conversions and encoding to digital disks. We can transfer most tape formats (including broadcast-quality tapes like Betacam SP, Digital Betacam, mini-DV, DV-CAM, DVC-Pro and others) to any other tape format. And we can encode any tape onto a CD-ROM or DVD disk, or as streaming video for web sites.

Tencrows routinely converts NTSC tapes (North American standard) to PAL tapes (European / Asian standard), or the reverse. We can convert NTSC to almost any domestic or international tape format, including

We also have the equipment to convert a number of popular international tape formats to NTSC.

From simple tape conversions to ‘plug-and-play’ (automatic start) DVDs, all the way up to interactive CD-ROM or DVD disks that feature an opening menu, chapter points and other elements, we can take care of all your conversion, encoding and authoring needs. We’re known for our quick turn-around times, and our rates for these services are among the best in Western Canada.

Tencrows Media Group has acquired a large ‘video real-time’ web server to handle our television programming. With a much higher bandwidth and larger pipeline than conventional web servers, our server can start playing video images just moments after the category has been clicked on. That’s why we now host more than 50 web sites.

Prices begin at just $5 a month for the first 30 minutes of streaming. That’s an exceptional value – much less than other host servers charge. For more information, contact us.
