Movie Film to DVD Transfer

We digitally convert 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm film to DVD. All film is inspected prior to transfer and cleaned/spliced as required. Any size reels are accepted.

Super 8 with magnetic sound as well as both optical and magnetic 16mm are supported!

Our film transfer service is priced by the foot. Since the various formats and types of film are priced differently, we ask that you bring your reels into the store so that we can do a footage count and give you an exact price. All film jobs include a backup set of DVDs that you can archive for safe keeping.

			All film to DVD transfers include a master copy (in Red case), copies to watch (in Black case), thermal print on the DVDs, and a cover that shows the running time and photos of the beginning of each 5 minute chapter point. All work is performed on site and original materials will be returned.

Film Facts & Figures

How much film will fit on a DVD?
Each DVD can hold 2 hours of video. That’s approximately 32 fifty foot reels of 8mm film (35 reels of Super 8).

What’s the difference between 8mm and Super 8?
In the 1960's, Kodak was looking for a way to improve the quality of 8mm "home movies" without requiring wider film like 16mm. In 1965 Kodak product engineers designed a film frame that was about 50% larger on the same width film by simply making the sprocket holes smaller than Standard 8mm. The new film, "Super 8" could be shot with the same economy as Regular 8mm, and projectors that could show both sizes of film could be easily manufactured for customers with a library of older films. Super 8 with Sound became available in August of 1973.
