Super 8 / 16mm / 8mm to Digital Transfer

Many years ago, when people wanted to capture special moments in their lives, the only option of the day was film. While modern technology now enables everyone’s smartphone to record high-quality video at the drop of a hat, there is still something truly special about seeing your loved ones enjoy their lives in a world that no longer exists. Also, the look and quality of film recordings and the eras that they captured is truly magical.

From the 1930s to 1970s, the most common reels of choice were 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm film.
 
At Transfer to Digital, we’re capable of transferring these old film formats with our $45,000 state-of-the-art film scanner. This German engineered machine has the latest in film scanning technology, capable of capturing your film in full 2k resolution (2048×1536 pixels), higher than what many other transfer services can provide.

Transfer DVD to Mp4

The sprocketless design ensures that even the most delicate of film can be transferred without harming it. It’s also capable of capturing magnetic and optical audio recorded on some of these old film formats. The scanner’s proprietary software enables our technicians to find the best possible exposure and color balance to ensure the finest possible transfer of your precious memories.

 

Your film will be scanned frame-by-frame and converted to a high bit-rate MP4 video file, which is then copied to a USB stick, portable hard drive, or uploaded to the cloud – enabling you to share them with family and friends for years to come.

 

A new era of the film has dawned. Transfer DVD to Mp4 allows you to preserve your old memories in new formats for generations to come. Say goodbye to imperfect transfers, scratches, and compressed digital copies with the latest MP4 technique. Your cherished memories deserve to be preserved with transfer DVD to Mp4 technology. You can now watch them go past in a matter of seconds.
