Sony discontinuing 8mm, Hi8, and Digital 8 camcorder
formats
If you have any family videos recorded
on 8mm, Hi8, or Digital8 videotapes, you'd better get them transferred to DVD
right away. Sony has discontinued the 8mm format and no longer sells
cameras that can play or record in these formats. In the next few years,
the remaining cameras that still work will begin their irreparable deterioration
process that could soon render it impossible for companies like ours to be able
to transfer these precious memories. Click here to read
the full story about the end of the 8mm camcorder format.
VHS-C and VHS format disappearing as well
JVC, the inventor of the VHS and VHS-C
formats has reduced their VHS-C camcorder lineup down to one model and it's not
expected to be around long. VHS VCRs have been disappearing over the past
several years as DVDs have taken their place as the preferred medium for
watching videos and movies. To learn more about the disappearing VHS
formats and the latest on MiniDVs, read the
article "Sun setting on popular home video camcorder formats" here.
Gold DVD Archival copies
Sunray now offers the Archival Gold DVDs
for preserving your films and videotapes even longer than before. There
have been numerous reports of DVDs that started coming apart after just 3
years. Many are blaming the poor quality materials used to produce the
discs.
 |
The
innovative materials and manufacturing methods used to produce Archival
Gold DVD-R's make them among the most reliable storage media available.
Other DVD-R's may deteriorate quickly due to common environmental
factors: ultraviolet light, heat, and humidity. Using N.I.S.T.'s
(National Institute of Standards and Technology) accelerated aging
process to test the longevity of DVD-R media, the Archival Gold DVD-R
has been shown to safely store your images for more than 100 years.
A key component of the Archival Gold
DVD-R's durability is the use of gold as the reflective layer of the
disc. Gold is one of the most inert, reflective (and expensive) elements
on earth, which makes it perfect to resist the effects of temperature
and humidity. These characteristics prevent oxidation, a common cause of
failure to most DVD-R's. |
Thirty percent of the cost to produce every
Archival Gold disc is due to the use of 24 karat gold.
Now selling Sony MiniDV tapes
Sunray now sells blank Sony 60 minute
MiniDV tapes. Check our Products page for
details.
