Video converts about any video file format and codec to about any other. Likewise we convert to and from any TV broadcasting standard - NTSC, PAL, SECAM - and their offsprings.
Video File Format Conversion
Converting a video file from one format to another is not just a matter of opening the file in some software and save or export it with a different file extension. A different video file format usually means a different compression scheme (or codec) is employed.
To convert between video file formats means to decode the video and encode it using another codec. Although, you can find even free video players or video editing software, that do this, the result is seldom very good. Compressing a video is a computational complicated matter that utilizes a number of more or less sophisticated techniques.
Two things are required to produce a high quality video file conversion result. Professional, dedicated video conversion and compression software and professionals, that know how to optimize the settings for each particular set of input and output file formats. At Video we only do it the professional way.

Video Standard Conversion
Did you buy a couple of movies on your holiday that just don't play on the TV's in your home country? Did you shoot some videos with your camcorder that doesn't work neither? The reason could be that the video uses PAL broadcasting standard while your TV or player use NTSC, or vice versa.
There are three main video standards - or rather TV broadcasting standards - in the world: PAL, NTSC and SECAM. Although these standards date back to when everything was analog, all digital video, including DVD's, are still transmitted by using one of these broadcasting standards. Unfortunately the standards are incompatible - which might mean your video tape or DVD is incompatible with your video player and/or screen.
However, not all is lost if you have got hold of a video, that your equipment can not handle - Video comes to the rescue.
