Premium Transfer vs. Expert Transfer
Which option is right for you? That all depends on what you plan to do with the footage. For most of our customers, the premium transfer is the way to go. You will receive all of your footage digitized on your choice of a flash drive or hard drive. With the expert transfer you will receive high quality MPEG-4* video files loaded to an external hard drive. You may provide us with an external hard drive, or purchase one from us. Data on customers' drives should be backed-up prior to sending in. ScanDigital reformats all hard drives during the data transfer process and any data previously stored on the hard drive will be lost. We have 500 GB external hard drives for sale at a price of $119.95.
