GoDVD! Transfers Videos Onto a More Durable DVD Format

June 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The video technology of choice in recent years for most American families has become the DVD. And yet, most families retain collections of literally hundreds of videos in various formats along with aging VHS movies that become increasingly fragile with every passing year. In addition, with the growing ubiquity of the DVD player, the likelihood of scratched or damaged discs has grown as well.

That's why Sima Products Corporation, a leading developer of consumer electronics accessories in the photo, digital imaging and home theater markets, has introduced the GoDVD!, an innovative digital video enhancer that legally permits users to create a back-up copy of their DVD collections and video tapes.

With Father's Day just around the corner, GoDVD! is the perfect gift for the family videophile -- typically Dad. It enables him to create a legal backup of his DVD collection, allows him to transfer VHS content to DVD -- preserving hours of precious family home movies and most importantly, saves him money. The GoDVD! device also allows Dads to create their own versions of their family's home movies by editing directly onto a DVD disc -- which saves time while at the same time improving the video's image quality.

"As a father, I know that kids can be rough on DVDs. Their favorite movies often get dragged from the home to the car, and are many times left outside of their cases, and can sometimes end up damaged," said Doug Marrison, President of Sima's SPC Subsidiary. "The GoDVD! device allows parents to make high- quality copies of their original DVD collections so they don't need to worry about nicks or scratches. It also lets families preserve their most important video memories on DVD."

The GoDVD! unit stabilizes video signals for crisp copies, reduces video sync noise and is compatible with S-VHS, VHS-C, VHS, 8mm and DVD. It also contains four output signal enhancement modes -- Normal, Enhanced, Darker and Black/White. Additionally, many will find the device's ability to support both U.S. (NTSC) and International (PAL) video formats an attractive feature.

GoDVD! is available in consumer electronic stores with a MSRP of $129.95.
