I was wondering if any one in this news group is making use of the
GoDVD device from a VCR to the PC and what kinds of things have they
encountered both good or bad or nominal ?

GoDVD! Saves Priceless Home Videos and DVD Movie Collections from Disappearing
due to Age or Abuse
Sima Products Corporation, a leading developer of consumer electronics
accessories in the photo, digital imaging and home theater markets, today
introduced the GoDVD (CT-2, CT2, Sima CT2, Sima CT-2) product line - an
innovative digital video enhancer that makes it easy for consumers to protect
their home video and DVD libraries. Connected between any playback source (VCR,
camcorder or DVD player) and a DVD recorder, the GoDVD! enhancer quickly and
easily restores and transfers old videos to the superior and long-lasting DVD
format. Additionally, owners of pre-recorded DVD movies will have the ability to
create a fair use back-up copy of their original DVD.
"There are more than one billion home videos sitting in people's homes, with a
shelf life of less than 20 years. Sima created the GoDVD! enhancer to help
preserves those treasures onto the longer lasting DVD medium, so they can be
viewed for years to come," said Doug Marrison, President of Sima's SPC
Subsidiary. "And through enhanced technology, GoDVD! actually improves and
restores images that may have suffered due to frequent use, age or poor storage
conditions."
With the sales explosion of portable, mobile and household DVD players,
Americans are watching DVDs in more locations and more often than ever. Now they
can keep their original in perfect condition, by using the GoDVD! unit to make a
back-up copy - families, vacationers, and business travelers can all benefit.
Further, GoDVD! will help preserve home video memories -- more than one billion
of them in the U.S. alone -- by converting them to a high-quality, digital DVD
format that will last more than a century.
How it Works
The GoDVD! unit stabilizes video signals for crisp copies, reduces video sync
noise and is compatible with S-VHS, VHS-C, VHS, 8mm and DVD. It also contains
four output signal enhancement modes - Normal, Enhanced, Darker and Black/white.
Additionally, as the U.S. population continues to become more multi-cultural,
many will find that GoDVD! has the ability to support both U.S. (NTSC)and
International (PAL) video formats - another great bonus.
"Now families who want to share their video memories overseas can do so easily,"
said Marrison.
GoDVD! can also be used for home video editing. With this new technology,
consumers can edit directly onto a DVD disc - helping to save time, money and
most importantly, the video's image quality.
GoDVD! is manufactured, sold and intended for use in video editing and
duplicating. Sales and proper use of the GoDVD! product line does not violate
the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act or the copyrights of third parties.
Any use that violates the copyright laws is prohibited.
