Technology is always moving, and always updating. In most cases the processes you used to not be able to do or that weren't even heard of way back when, can easily be done now with the right mechanics, the right software, and the right products. Not only can you do the things you couldn't do in the past but you can surpass your wildest dreams! I mean who knew even 10 years ago we would have able to actually buy a laptop that doesn't weigh as much as a bowling ball! Or that you could actually watch over your home or business remotely from your computer? Well here's another great discovery, did you know that there are actual people or rather businesses that can turn your old movies (have it be film or otherwise) into DVD format? It's true!
I have personally tried services such as these, and I know of a few people in my family that have had it done, and really its worth the few bucks it costs to transfer over. I can't even begin to explain how much happier I am with these DVDs than I was with those old film reels! This is just one of those things you have to try to believe it! Take it from me, you really won't be disappointed! First off you have the quality. We all know by now that DVD, Bluray, and HD give you an incredible vision of quality when it comes to the "graphics", whereas films? Not so much. You know you have all those cosmetic imperfections such as blotches and spots. Some people might like that "old school" look, but for me I want all my films to be updated and be as high quality as possible!
Secondly this is a really easy process, especially if you deal with a company that has been doing this for a while. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying new business are going to screw your film up, I'm just saying DO your research! Go online and look for reviews, see what people say about various sites, various prices, customer service, ease of the process, etc.
And lastly this process is incredibly practical. Ya know that giant box you have sitting in your garage with all those dusty old film reels that you never know what to do with? Well now instead of having a giant box with tons of reels, you can have a couple really nice compact DVDs! Now you can actually throw that box out!
Converting Movies To Dvd
Over the years, most families accumulate a large amount of videos of their children, so how can you transfer your old 8mm films to something more updated? Well, there are some websites that specialize in turning your old movies into quality DVDs, these are usually referred to as "one stop Film to DVD Production." And they specialize in Transferring Home Movies on 8mm Film to Video, Super 8mm Film Conversions and 16mm Film to DVD. I tried this a few months ago because our garage had boxes and boxes full of movies from me when I was a child, so I decided to try it. I have to say not only was it incredibly easy, but it's also convenient and it's a great way to save space! Most people know that the film reels are quite bulky, and compared to DVDs they are even bulkier! Another great aspect is that my movies looked 20 times better than they originally did on film!
These businesses take the time to process, inspect, repair, clean and lubricate every foot of film by hand! You would be stunned by the quality of some of the older vintage 8mm/16mm or Super8mm films that we have restored. The quality is unbelievable, and really, isn't that the most important thing? Most of these old film reels have a lot of blemishes, spotting, and a lot of other cosmetic problems. However, if you put your old movies on new DVDs you won't have any of these problems. Technology is constantly moving at the speed of light! Take advantage of this technology and use it in your favor! This is absolutely something you will be more than happy with! Here is an example price list of what you can expect:
8mm / Super8mm / 16mm Film
Transferred to DVD without editing or music - 10 cents per foot
Transferred directly to your Hard Drive - 10 Cents per foot
8mm / Super8mm / 16mm Film
Transferred to DVD Including
Complete Digital Restoration - 15 Cents per foot
VHS and 8mm Video Tapes
Transferred to DVD - only $9.95 per tape
If you look in the phone book you will find a lot of these types of businesses, but a lot of the time the same business you see offline are the same ones you would deal with online anyway. For me it's all about quality and convenience, you already have the quality down pat, so utilize everything you can to make it easier and quicker to transfer your movies now!
