Old Movie to DVD
Under the bed, Up in the ceiling or out in the garage. Somewhere there's a box of home movies you're hoping to treasure forever. But they're fading fast!
Remember the Good Old Days when watching family memories required a film projector? For most of us, those days are long gone. But those precious memories are still there, collecting dust in a box. We want to help you see, share and enjoy those memories that your family originally captured on film. Let us digitally transfer your old movies to DVD, and you'll receive memorable Archival Video DVDs that you and your family will watch over and over again.
Home movies are fragile - even playing them causes damage. If stored correctly, movies on film may last 25 years before decaying. That means that millions of home movies are nearing the end of the road. But your memories don't have to fade away. Let us convert your film to DVD format; so they're preserved and protected for generations to watch and enjoy.
Cine film is made of many still images called frames. When played in succession these images give the illusion of movement - movies!
Traditional transfer methods vary, most involve projection and re-filming thus greatly reducing quality. Some methods are better than others but none can compare with scanning each frame into a digital system as we do. Our film scanners, built in the USA, are used in the US television & DVD industries delivering HD "high definition" video from film.
