Film to DVD

We can bring your old films back to life. Once transferred to DVDs, these memories can be preserved forever and enjoyed for generations.  View them on your TV, computer or with a DVD projector. No need to drag out the old film projector and screen anymore.

Our technicians will clean, repair damage, and edit unexposed sections [5 seconds or more].  We will add musical background at no extra charge.  Regular 8, Super 8 and 16mm film sound or silent can be transferred.  Approximately 1,600 feet of 8mm or 3,200 feet of 16mm can be transferred to one DVD.

Movies on processed 8mm or Super 8mm film are typically found on 50-foot reels, which are 3" in diameter.  Movies on processed 16mm film are typically found on 100-foot reels, which are 4" in diameter.  Previously consolidated 8mm or Super 8mm films are found on 4" reels (100 feet), 5" reels (200 feet), 6" reels (300 feet) and 7" reels (400 feet).  Previously consolidated 16mm films are typically found on 7" reels or larger. 

The price to convert your film to DVD is 14 cents per foot and a DVD transfer & packaging cost of $34.95 per DVD.
