𝐌𝐊𝐕 𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐏𝟒 - 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞? 🤔

It’s one of the most common questions when converting a DVD, Blu-ray or 4K UHD collection to digital.

And the answer isn’t simply that one format is “better” than the other.

It depends on 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝘀𝗲, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀, 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

So we’ve built a 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 to help.

🎬 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗲?

Answer 8 simple questions and it’ll point you towards 𝗠𝗞𝗩, 𝗠𝗣𝟰, 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

And for the 4K collectors amongst you, our 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟰𝗞 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲 has been growing rather rapidly too - it’s now passed 𝟮,𝟰𝟰𝟬 𝟰𝗞 𝗨𝗛𝗗 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀. 👀

We’ve built a free reference database covering 1,290+ Ultra HD Blu-ray titles, so collectors can quickly check whether each release is sourced from a native 4K master or a 2K upscale.

It’s quick, free to use, and surprisingly addictive once you start searching… 👀

We’re continually researching and adding new releases, so be sure to bookmark the page and check back as your collection grows.

Still got DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs or old family video discs tucked away?

You’re not alone - and you’re not wrong to still value them.

We’ve created a new DIGIRAW page for people who want the best of both worlds: the comfort of physical media, and the convenience of modern digital files.

Whether it’s family memories, favourite films, TV shows or music, it’s a simple place to explore what DIGIRAW can do.

Got home video DVDs sitting in a drawer somewhere?

You’re not alone. Many families still have precious memories stored on DVD - weddings, first steps, birthdays, Christmas mornings, holidays and old camcorder recordings.

The problem is simple: DVD players have been quietly disappearing for years, and many modern laptops and computers no longer have a disc drive.

So what do you actually do with those old discs?

We’ve put together a friendly, jargon-free DIGIRAW guide that explains how converted home videos can be watched on your computer, phone, tablet and TV - with no technical knowledge needed.

Some family memories have four paws. Some have hooves.

Old home videos have a funny way of catching the moments we did not realise would matter so much one day.

A dog walking proudly beside the children at a village show. A horse being fussed over after a ride. A cat curled up on the sofa. A much-loved family pet appearing in the background of everyday life.

This photo of Snowy at a local village pet show is exactly why we created our new Pet & Animal Memories page.

Because they were never just pets. They were part of the family.

Many of those moments are still sitting on old DVDs and Blu-rays, tucked away in drawers and cupboards, waiting to be seen again.

DIGIRAW can convert those precious pet and animal memories to digital MP4, so they can be watched, shared and safely kept for the future.

Do you still have a way to play your old family DVDs?

For many families, the answer is quietly becoming “not really”.

DVD players are disappearing from homes. Laptops no longer include disc drives. Smart TVs rarely make it easy. And even when you do still have a player, old home-recorded DVDs can start to skip, freeze, or refuse to load without much warning.

That disc in the drawer may hold a wedding, a birthday, a school play, a holiday, a christening, or precious footage of someone no longer with us.

DIGIRAW converts home video DVDs and Blu-rays to digital MP4 files, so they can be watched, shared and safely backed up on modern devices.

Secure download is included, with optional USB available.

Your wedding video deserves better than an ageing disc.

Many wedding DVDs and Blu-rays sit safely in a drawer for years, until one day they skip, freeze, refuse to load, or there is no longer an easy way to play them.

For many couples and families, that disc may be the only moving record of the day: the vows, the speeches, the first dance, the guests, the laughter, and the people who may no longer be with us.

Old home video DVDs have a habit of sitting quietly in drawers, cupboards and loft boxes for years.

Wedding DVDs. Birthday parties. School plays. Family holidays. Grandparents’ voices. Children growing up.

The problem is that DVDs do not always give much warning before they become difficult to play.

They may skip, freeze, refuse to load, or only work in one old machine, even when the disc looks perfectly fine.

Scratches, dust, ageing recordable layers, poor storage and unfinalised camcorder discs can all cause problems over time.

For many families, that DVD may be the only copy left.

If the footage matters, now is the time to protect it.

DIGIRAW converts home video DVDs into MP4 digital files, ready to watch on modern devices and easier to keep safe for the future.

DVDs do not last forever. Your memories can.
