Our Work Our 8mm film transfers
8mm Cine Film Transfer, video editing and transfer to DVD
Understandably, many people no longer have working 8mm projectors. You may have precious recordings, or you may have found some old film and you’re not sure what’s on it.
Rather than pay high prices on auction sites for old un-calibrated projectors, which may damage your film, let us help. We have all the necessary equipment, properly calibrated 8mm transfer systems and the ability to transfer the film to any media you wish.
We can convert from 8mm cine film and transfer to DVD or USB flash media in MPEG, AVI, .MOV or QuickTime video file format so you can edit yourself using your home computer, with a basic editing package.
If you find you have a large number of cine film reels to transfer, we recommend you purchase a large external drive. These are relatively cheap these days and serve not only as a storage device for the films that we convert for you, it can also function as external storage or a backup drive for your main computer.
We understand that you may not have the necessary 8mm projector or know what’s on your film, so by having the films converted to digital video files, you can then view, edit and record to DVD the film you want, how you want it.
We can advise on storage devices and software to help you get the most from video editing.
If you’re not confident with video editing, we can do it for you, as part of our complete video editing package.
We offer a complete service, reviewing the 8mm cine film to transfer, recording to digital video, video editing and transfer to DVD. This includes background music of your choice, titles to appear at the start of each cine film chapter and we can also create animated movie thumbnail menus to make your final DVD look great.
More information can be found on our video editing page.
