Multimedia Services
We offer two types of multimedia services: Multimedia Assistance Service and Media Conversion
Service. Due to limited staffing and equipment availability, both services must be scheduled
first. Please contact Greg Maier at 438-2327 to schedule or for more information.
Multimedia Assistance Service
Our Multimedia Services staff can help you create and edit multimedia materials for
teaching and research. We can assist you in working with digital images, digital video,
audio materials, PowerPoint presentations, flatbed and slide scanning, as well as CD,
VCD, DVD, and audio CD burning.
Media Conversion & Duplication Service
We can convert your DVD, VHS, CD, LP and audio cassettes to a format that can be used
for Blackboard, classroom, and research. We will charge a minimal materials fee. Please
contact CTLT staff before you drop off original media.
Service Policies
- The customer must purchase any and all media (DVD, CD, VHS tapes, etc.) used in
the duplication process from CTLT. We do this so that we can ensure compatibility
with our hardware and ensure the widest playback compatibility possible. In short – we
do the research so you don’t have to.
- We reserve the right to refuse duplication of material! If the material to be duplicated
violates copyright laws, or goes beyond the scope of Fair Use, or is outside of the
scope of a teaching environment, we simply will not duplicate it. We intend to uphold
copyright laws to the best of our ability — we’re serious!
- We’re working on a first-come first-served basis and when you schedule a job
with us, we will give you an approximate turn-around date. Also, please bear in mind
that we may not be able to do that “rush-job” — so plan accordingly!
Types of Media Conversion & Duplication
Additional types of materials may be available. If you have other types of projects
in mind, please consult with CTLT staff.
- VHS to DVD: The conversion of a VHS of NON-Copyrighted material
to a DVD
- Formats: DVD-R
- Time Length/Limit: Up to 360 minutes (6 hours)
- Notes: No editing of video material – no custom menus – Chapter
marks are autoset to either 6 or 15 minute intervals or none if the user wishes – 1-to-1
copy of material on tape. User may, however, define smaller segment from original
tape. (i.e. 30 minutes of a 2 hour tape) We will NOT do smaller non-consecutive
segments of a VHS tape in a drop-off setting. In the case that a tape is to
be copied from a point other than the start – the customer must cue the
tape to that point – we will then copy from that point to the end of
the tape.
- LP to CD: The conversion of a record of NON-Copyrighted material
to CD.
- Formats: Music CD-R – Records can be 33 1/3, 45 or 78 RPM.

segment from original record. (i.e. Only recording tracks 1, 3 and 4 etc…)
We will NOT do smaller segments of a track in a drop-off setting. In the case
that a CD is to be record from a point other than the start – the
customer must specify from which track – we will then copy from that
point to end. As a general rule when doing a 1-to-1 copy of the LP, an entire
side of the LP will be recorded as one track on the CD.

material to CD

do smaller non-consecutive segments of a cassette tape in a drop-off setting.
In the case that a tape is to be copied from a point other than the start – the
customer must cue the tape to that point – we will then copy from that
point on to the specified length (when not defined it will be copied to end)
As a general rule, there will be one track on the CD per side.
