Tape & DVD Duplication Services

The Knapp Center duplication services are for academic or College organization purposes. DVDs, DV, and VHS tapes (NTSC, PAL or SECAM) can be duplicated providing you have copyright permission.

Our services:

• VHS to VHS (NTSC, PAL, or SECAM)
• VHS to DVD
• DV tape to DVD
• DVD to DVD
• Taping TV shows
• Basic editing such as cropping beginning or ending sections of a program can be done.

We do not provide advanced editing such as:

• Cropping mid-sections (e.g. commercials/interims)
• Creating chapters
• Home menu titles
• Adding or deleting audio, images or descriptive text
• Transitions and effects

If you wish to edit your films, you may use the facilities at the Knapp Media Center and refer to the iMovie and iDVD documentation.

A maximum of 6 copies can be made of each DVD or tape. If you wish to make more than 6 copies, please contact "Play It Again" in Needham:

Placing a Tape or DVD Duplication Request

Please bring your original tapes and/or DVDs to the Knapp Service Desk when you make your request. If you will be providing your own DVDs, we can only accept blank DVD-Rs and not DVD-RWs.

You will need to provide a title for the copy label. You will also use this title to pick up your tape copy.

There is no charge for duplication for academic courses. Copies of non-academic videos, including any college organizations or student organizations, are $5.00 per video for duplication and $5.00 for each blank tape or DVD if you do not provide your own. You may pay with cash, check or department budget number when you collect your copies.

Tape duplication may take up to 5 business days to complete. Because duplication services are intended only for academic and College organizations, copies for personal purposes may take up to 2 weeks to complete. Knapp staff will email you when your copies are ready.

If you have any questions about our tape duplication services or about your particular request, please email the Firstclass conference "Tape Copy Questions" or call the Knapp Service Desk at x2369.
