Today, everything is going digital… HDTV, digital cameras, CD’s, and DVD’s.
Digital technology allows you to compress and store information at a high quality level and conveniently access your information almost instantly.
Today, DVD is big, but it wasn’t long ago that VHS was king. Did you know that before video, the home movie was shot on real film? 8mm, super 8mm, and 16mm film were all the rage from the 1940’s through the 1970’s.
Today, a lot of film, sits stored in attics, closets, and garages. Besides not being seen and appreciated, this film can actually be deteriorating.
Over the years the color fades, and film becomes brittle. It’s true that they don’t make projectors for it anymore, but we have specialized equipment to transfer those old home movies to VHS or DVD for you to enjoy, share, and preserve.
Transferring your home movies is not an automated process. It involves a skilled technician, the latest in digital technology, and professional equipment to capture every frame.
We add light instrumental background music, at no extra charge, while transferring it to DVD. The result is a professionally mastered video for you to enjoy and share for years to come.
Sharing your old home movies with those that you love has never been easier. Additional DVD copies are inexpensive and make great gifts, so gather up your home movies and talk with one of our experts. Estimates are free!
We can take your old home movies that have been sitting in the closet all these years and digitally transfer them to DVD complete with background music. No more hassling with projectors, screens, reels, and bad bulbs. Just insert the DVD, push play, and enjoy.
Just number your reels in the order you want them to appear on the DVD and we will do the rest. If you don’t know what order to put them in, we will transfer them randomly to a DVD. You then have the option to have us edit them at your direction. The editing service is an additional charge.
We treat your film as if it were our own! Using our state-of-the-art telecine projectors, our trained technicians, transfer your film into one of our specialized computer stations. Your movies can be left silent or our technicians can add the style of music you have selected. Sound film is transferred with the original sound.
We have transferred well over three-million feet of film!
You will receive your completed order on a DVD disc. Your original movie film is also returned to you. Our DVD transfer service is done in-house and it takes about two weeks.
We can get about 1600 to 1800 feet of 8mm or S8mm on a single DVD disc. The small reels (3″ in diameter) that most people have hold 50 feet of film. Call if you have questions regarding 16mm movie film.
