Video Transfer Services
1. Do you send any of my film or photos out to be transferred? NO. All orders taken are completed on site with no subcontracting. I take special care to treat your memories like the treasures they are.
2. What kind of media can you transfer to DVD? I can transfer any tape format from Beta, VHS, VHSC, PAL VHS, Hi8, and MiniDVC onto DVD.
3. Do I get my tapes back? Yes. You receive all of your film and tapes back once they are transferred .
4. I have old photos, negatives and slides. Can they be put on DVD? Yes. I convert them to JPEGs and can give them to you on a CD, which will allow you to make prints of them or play it on your computer. I can also put them into a slideshow format with music and fading transitions that will play on your DVD player.
5. When you transfer 8mm and Super 8 film to DVD, how many reels will fit on one DVD? A DVD will hold two hours of video. Up to 1200 feet of 8mm film will fit on one DVD. That would be 24 of the 3” 50 foot reels. Super 8 films run a little faster and you may get up to 1500 feet of film, or 30 of the 50 foot reels.
6. I have old family recordings on cassettes. Can you transfer these to CD? Yes. I am also able, in some cases, to take old reel to reel sound recordings and make CDs of them.
7. Photo productions: Does it matter what size my photos are? No. We can use anything from wallet sized to 8×10. They will appear the same size on your TV.
8. Can I mix photos and slides in a production? Yes. Photos and slides can be used in any combination.
9. Do you take credit cards? No, but we gladly accept checks.
10. Do I need to do anything before I bring you my reels to transfer? Larger reels have footage markers on the spines of the reel. See where your film ends, count the footage and do the math. I am easily able to give you a total cost on your transfer when you bring your film in. It is helpful if you have them numbered in the order you want them transferred.
11. I have old floppy disks from a long gone computer, can you do anything with this? Depending on how they are formatted, i am able to digitize photos or documents and give them to you on a disk that your current computer can read.
