Details about our Super8 to DVD Film Transfer Services

Film Preparation

Prior to digitizing your film, all of your film is cleaned and spliced to perform minor repairs and remove bad splices, dust and any additional substances that may be on your film. During this process, our film transfer technicians will consolidate your small reels of film onto larger reels to improve the transfer process and reduce your storage requirements.

Film to DVD Transfer Process

At MemoryHub, we use the latest digital film transfer process to make sure that your Home Movies come out looking great! Film is transferred directly to DVD using state-of-the-art aerial direct digital film transfer technology that captures the image directly from the emulsion of the film using a high resolution digital video camera (we do not project your film onto a screen and then record it). Your film is captured at 490 lines of resolution using our aerial direct transfer technology. During the film transfer process we apply exposure and color corrections, creating memories that are fresh and vivid.

You’ll get all of your original film returned along with your beautifully presented Archive Video DVDs.

Accepted Film Transfer Formats

There are three primary formats of film that will comprise your collection of Home Movies. You probably have a mix of the following film formats if you or your parents were shooting film over an extended period of time.

• 8mm film to DVD
  Regular 8 film is 8mm in width, with single sprockets down one side of the film. These holes are generally larger than those on Super 8mm film.
• Super 8mm film to DVD
  Sometimes called "Super 8", Super 8mm film is also 8mm in width and may have sound. It has smaller sprockets down one side than regular 8mm film.
• 16mm film to DVD
  This format of film is 16mm in width, and may have sound. If you see sprockets on both the top and bottom of the film, it is silent 16mm film. If you only see one set of sprockets along the top, chances are you have 16mm Sound film.
