PRICING
|
•
Please
see Price chart for
creation of Master Disc
•
When combining multiple tapes to one DVD, there will be a
joining fee of $5 for each join. For instance, if you have 60 minutes
of material to convert, but it is divided into three 20 minute segments
from 3 sources, there will be 2 join fees for a total of $10 added.
This fee is waived if there are editing charges being applied.
•
An hourly editing charge will be applied if the video is edited
in any way, i.e adding titles, color correction, cutting of
scenes, etc.
•
All DVD authoring done for projects that were made at Athens Video
will automatically fall under the Customized High-End Authoring
prices
•
There will be no charge for creating a Master Disc for DVDs
created create elsewhere. However, we will not duplicate copyrighted
material without the written consent of the copyright owner.
There are educational purpose exceptions. Please call us if you
feel these apply.
