We transfer your film to a digital format using a frame by frame capture system. What does that mean? Simply put that for every frame of film that is on your reel we take a digital snapshot. This is sure that nothing is missed from your precious memories and makes for a seamless non-flickering transfer. We then bring in your footage and clean up all the blank and empty spots that may have occurred in the original filming. We will also do some basic color correction when necessary. From there your footage is ready to be sent to DVD. We can put up to 32 three-inch rolls (1600 feet) onto one DVD
.
Transferring 8mm, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, VHS, and VHS-C cassette
We transfer these older forms of analog media to a digital format using a direct to hard drive capture system. With that digital copy we will then clean up any snow or blank spots that may be on your footage if at all possible. From there your footage is ready to be sent to DVD. We can put up to 2hrs. of quality video onto one DVD.
We can also do what we call “one-to-one” transfer for clients who have taped large amounts on VHS tapes in LP mode. Rather than having multiple DVDs for one tape, one DVD is made for every one VHS tape transferred, up to six hours.
Transferring Slides and Photographs
We scan your slides and photos to a digital format using high dpi scan of up to 1800dpi. (We can even scan up to 3200dpi if necessary!) With these digital copies we then transfer these photos to a basic slide show DVD which will play instantly when placed in your player. Color correct and Photo repair are available as an extra service. We can also archive these photos to a separate disc for you as well so that you can have prints made at your local photo center.
Our basic package archives your footage to a professional grade DVD, and matching case. This will easily fit with any other DVD films that you might have. The disc will immediately play your memories once inserted in the DVD player without the need of a menu. A Basic Package is included in every transfer.
Deluxe Package
Clients who would like to have instant access to scenes, and would like a more personal touch to their transfer should consider upgrading to our Deluxe Package.
This includes:
Scene Selection Menu
Chapters added for every reel, or tape transferred. We can also put chapter marks every 5 min.
No need to fast forward to each scene as you would for a basic transfer. You can instantly jump to any scene, and with our motion thumbnails, you have a preview of each scene before you select it!
Color Photo Cover for the Case and DVD
We will take a photo from your footage that best represents your captured memories and place them on the front cover of both the case and the DVD. You can choose from a wide selection of themes that we have, or allow us to choose an appropriate one for you.
Hard Drive
We can also transfer your videos to hard drive instead of DVD, or for an additonal fee, have us do both!
Buy a drive from us, or bring in your own. We can even transfer to bare internal SATA drives as well.
