VIDEO TAPED DEPOSITIONS
More attorneys are utilizing video technology to help win cases. Sousa partners with experts in the field of video technology to help with your case.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
  • Highly trained videographers that show up 1 hour early
  • Professional and orderly equipment set-up
  • Traditional video or digital taping available upon request
  • Video delivered on DVD/ROM within 10 days!
  • Always request an MPEG1 file DVD if using trial presentation software
MAXIMIZE YOUR DOLLAR:
 
FAST DIGITIZING
Convert a VHS tape into a DVD
  • Requirements: Your videotape
  • It takes a few days to “digitize” a video tape
  • Any video tape can be digitized into a CD or DVD
  • One CD contains 2 hours of deposition * One DVD contains 4-6 hours of deposition
Should I order a DVD or CD at the deposition?
We recommend that attorneys order a DVD with an MPEG1 file, in addition to their regular DVD’s. Trial and case management software support MPEG1 files but not “regular” DVD files.

Is DVD a higher quality picture?
Yes. However, trial and case management software do NOT support DVDs. If you’re going to watch the DVD on your computer, please make sure your DVD drive can de-code MPEG-2 files before ordering a DVD.
 
DIGITIZE & SYNCHRONIZE VIDEO TESTIMONY
Combining video with the ASCII file onto DVD

  • Requirements: a VHS tape or CD and the ASCII file
  • Final product delivered on CD – all tapes and ASCIIs returned to client
  • D&S process only takes a few days!
  • Importable into any case or trial management software
Why would I want the video synchronized with the ASCII file?
As the deponent speaks on video, the transcript will scroll in time, underneath the video, while the text is highlighted in yellow.
Do I need to purchase software to view the CD?
NO. The CD comes with a browser that automatically pops-up when you insert the CD.
What if I don’t have time to watch the entire deposition?
You don’t have to watch the entire deposition. Fast-forward, rewind, pause and play with a simple click of your mouse.
I don’t have a lot of time in court. How can I emphasize portions of the deposition without fast-forwarding or rewinding?
Emphasize critical points by creating a “clip”. Clips are created in 3 simple steps. Locate the testimony you want on the CD, press start clip, press finish clip – and you’ve got a powerful clip to save on your computer!
What will it look like when I receive it?
