LORR’s legal videography also provides editing services for whatever purpose you require, whether footage from an accident scene, excerpts from an investigation, or designations from a deposition.

Which Video Format?

MPEG1 or MPEG2, DVD or CD, analog or digital. It can be confusing. Here are some basics for your video choices:

DVD – delivers a high resolution, full-screen image. However, DVD format is not compatible with some litigation-support software, such as Sanction II, Trial Director, and PowerPoint. Also, DVD can pose challenges in editing and copying.

CD – the MPEG1 format is not as crisp as DVD, but still offers a good picture and is the most common format in the legal community. More importantly, it is compatible with litigation software like Sanction II, Trial Director, and PowerPoint, and it is easy to edit and easy to play on a computer.

VHS – while analog video is being phased out, some courtrooms still have videotape players. It has full-frame image but is not as clear as DVD. It also has to be digitized in order to play on a laptop or be used with litigation-support software.
