Your family has a large amount of 8mm and Super-8mm film reels but your old projector died years ago. It’s bad enough that you can’t share these priceless memories with your family, but you worry about the long-term storage of that large amount of film. Unless you are still using your film movie camera, your film is likely at risk. Problems include drying out and breaking, shrinking/warping, and especially fading, depending on the type of film, age and storage method. If your stored film has a vinegar odor when you open the container, you need to transfer it soon to another medium such as videotape or DVD.

Conversion of family heirloom film not only preserves your family history, it also makes a terrific gift to your parents, brother and sisters, and loved ones.

Our coversion process uses true telecine methods. The same that Hollywood producers use to convert film to video.

Here’s the process...
  • We consolidate all of your 50-foot reels onto 400-foot reels.
  • Every frame of each reel is captured as a still image in the computer, one frame at a time.
  • The individual frames are converted to computer video files.
  • The video files can be adjusted for color and exposure, common problems with typical 8mm home movies.
  • If you know the content of your original reels, we add titles between each reel.
  • We convert the video footage to high quality DVD, with chapter markers for each original reel.
  • We return all of your original film in high-quality storage cases.
