One for one.  Each  (2-hour or or shorter) tape you send us is copied to a DVD. Tapes longer than 2 hours require one DVD for each 2 hour of segment. You may specify partial recording. For instance: "Copy only from 1hr. 25 min to the end." 
Leave the details to us. This option also allows for combining shorter tapes on a DVD, but relieves you of having to specify exactly how. You number the tapes and you ask us to put them on DVDs in order, combining shorter tapes whenever possible. We will figure out how.

How long
will my DVD last?

The short answer is that nobody knows for sure how long a DVD lasts At least not yet. The Council on Library & Information Recourses (CLIR) has a many-page monograph available on line for your perusal. Here is a short excerpt from page 2:

"Among the manufacturers that have done testing there is a consensus that, under recommended storage conditions, CD-R, DVD-R, and DVD+R discs  have a
life expectancy of 100 to 200 years or more...."

Our advice is to stop worrying about DVD life and get or make a backup DVD, because DVDs, good as they are, are not indestructible.

Audio Video Memories uses exclusively Maxell Plus Series disks DVD-RPW (PN 635061) and Maxell Gold CD-RB (PN 648730)
There is 8mm this and there is 8mm that.
