VIDEO TO DVD.
DVD is everywhere - and the demand is growing. From your videotape master, we manufacture full-color DVD-R discs with easy menus. JMS offers transfer, mastering, authoring, chaptering, and labeling affordably priced.

TITLES AND CHAPTERS
Titles are the different "programs" on a DVD. Chapters are the different tracks, or "jump to" points within a title. A disc could have just one title, but several chapters. A short demo or reel would probably be one title, one chapter. A play or recital may have two titles (act 1 & act 2) and many chapters. In the menu, titles are labeled, and appear with a picture for selection.

Remember that "burning a DVD" is NOT like making a VHS tape. It requires transfer of digital data, menu creation, etc. The first DVD Master takes time and effort. The copies are easy.
