Transferring 8mmFilms To Modern Mediums: Tips And Advice

Preserving 8mm films so that they are both functional and safe for decades at a time can be a difficult task for the layperson. This is because not only does an individual need things like a white screen, a working 8mm film projector, and a dark room but they must also possess knowledge of modern transfer hardware and software. While there are some applications that can be purchased that allow the layperson to transfer their 8mm films to more modern medium by DVD or Blu-Ray, they are often very expensive and require extensive studying as well as trial and error before they can be put to good use.

Individuals who are dead set on transferring their 8mm films over to a more modern digital medium can certainly try to do so on their own though the final product is often far less desirable than they had hoped for. The best solution homeowners have at their disposal is to hire a video transfer service. There are a great number of digital media transfer services that transfer 8mm film to DVD, Blu-Ray, and even digital files. Moreover these companies not only transfer videos but usually enhance them as well. When individuals view their transfered films both the audio and video quality are often upscaled and dramatically improved. Things like color, contrast, and vibrancy can be enhanced to make 8mm films more pleasurable to watch on modern television sets and computer monitors while audio can be split into surround sound and even enhanced so that noise gets removed.

Of course if individuals insist on doing it themselves they will need to follow these steps. First and foremost find a working 8mmprojector. These can be difficult to procure in this day and age and it's best to be prepared for a long search. Next 8mm films will need to be placed onto the projector and the audio line for the projector will need to be connected to a computer or other type of video/ capture device. The next step requires individuals to either darken the room or wait until nightfall so as to begin viewing the film. During the initial viewing of 8mm films individuals will need to make small adjustments so that the film is lined up properly as well. Once all of these things have been addressed a video/audio capture device or a modern 8mm film projector needs to be connected directly to a computer running video capture software. Again, transferring 8mm films to a modern medium isn't impossible for individuals but it does require quite a bit of patience and know-how.

Digital Scrapbooking

The art of scrapbooking is quite old one can also be quite a bit of fun. While a trip down memory lane can be a real joy, the process of putting a scrapbook together can be a real pain. Purchasing a book or album in which to store photos is the easy part. Scrapbookers must first locate all the photographs they want to use, cut them out, create borders, work on themes, and then and only then can the real work begin.

Quick VHS To DVD Transfers In Time For The Holidays!

With the holidays just around the corner, many people have already begun shopping or at least thinking of gift ideas. One idea that consistently crosses people's minds is the transfer of VHS movies to DVD. Having old home movies transferred to a more modern medium allows for people to not only store them more conveniently but view them more conveniently as well.

If you are considering having a VHS to DVD transfer done as a holiday gift you'll want to keep in mind that while large retail stores can certainly perform the task for you, taking your business to them may result in a late gift and an expensive one at that. Most major retail stores that offer VHS to DVD transfers not only take 3 to 6 weeks to complete them but they send your precious memories overseas to another company. This increases the chances of your movies being damaged before there ever transferred. Moreover their pricing for such services are inflexible and rigid.

If your aim is to provide a loved one with their memories transferred to a more durable modern medium like DVD then you'll want to send your videos to us! Not only can we perform transfers in a matter of days as opposed to weeks but we don't outsource any of our work and perform all transfers in-house.

Save Your 8mm Films With A Digital Transfer

Those of us old enough to remember 8mm films will remember having to wait until the sun had set to watch them. Sure there were those of us who had darkrooms specifically for viewing 8mm films but the majority of us had to wait for the evening to roll around before any film could be enjoyed. We also remember the cumbersome projector and films that had to be set up and then taken down before and after viewing. Moreover those of us who are familiar with 8mm films also remember the difficulty in storing them safely when not in use. Things like dust, dirt, insects, moisture, heat, and the dreaded vinegar syndrome are all things that render 8mm movies unplayable.

Those of us who still own 8mm films or of had some passed down to us by family rarely, if ever, view these movies simply because of the difficulty in finding them in storage, setting up the projector, and waiting for nightfall. There is also the added worry of ruining an old film while playing it that keeps many of us from enjoying some old memories. The good news is that those of us who are in possession of 8mm films can breathe a sigh of relief.

While 8mm film to DVD conversions are nothing new, they were once expensive and finding a company to handle them for you was very difficult. These days simplified and more efficient technology has made the process of conversion much cheaper and much faster. As a result people can now convert their 8mm films to DVD at a very low cost and in some cases end up with a finished product that looks and sounds better than the original film. Moreover many of the companies that offer conversion services are flexible with the pricing and are willing to work with customers in order to ensure their memories are preserved.

As mentioned previously 8mm film to DVD conversions are nothing new and some people choose to do conversions themselves by utilizing electronic store grade equipment. The reality of the situation however is that home conversions rarely look or sound as good as transfers that are completed by a professional. Additionally do-it-yourselfers must contend with complicated software and even computer peripherals which can be confusing and waste time.

Those of us in possession of 8mm films don't want to lose the memories on them and many of us also want to pass them down to our children and grandchildren when the time is right. The best way to ensure that these videos remain intact for viewing and for future inheritance is to have them transferred to DVD.

Wedding Memories On VHS and Betamax

Unless you were married recently there is a good chance that the video of your wedding is sitting somewhere in a dark box filled with dust and bugs. Furthermore your wedding video is probably in VHS and Betamax format; two formats which are now completely and utterly obsolete. It's also a good bet that you don't have a machine in your own capable of playing either format.

Weddings like all other events that serve as a marker in the life of individuals, are moments that are meant to be remembered. While weddings on video certainly help couples remember their big day, those who have their weddings on Betamax and VHS formats run the risk of losing those memories not the time but to things like heat, moisture, insects, and even dirt and dust. All these things take their toll on old video tapes and can render them unplayable after just a short amount of time in storage.

If you're a couple whose wedding was captured on videotape don't wait! Transferring old Betamax and VHS cassettes to digital mediums like DVD is a cinch for us and in some cases will result in improved audio and video as well. Your memories are priceless and once gone can never be retrieved. Should you have any questions about digital video transfers or like to proceed with one please be sure to contact us that we may be of assistance.

Save Your Birthday Memories!

Although it is more common for them to be held in honor of children, many adults also go all out and throw large birthday bashes. Regardless of age however birthday parties are traditionally events that are captured on video so that they can be relived years down the line. The problem however lies not in the capturing of these videos but in the formats in which they were captured to.

Up until just a few years ago most home videos were captured on cameras that utilized some type of film or tape. Now that the world is almost completely digital it can be difficult and sometimes impossible for people to view movies captured on film. In scenarios where people find themselves in this type of situation, these old movies will be neatly tucked away somewhere and forgotten, which is a shame of course.

If an individual took the time the film a birthday party, regardless of who it was for, there's a good chance that they did so knowing they want to view it at some point in the future. Once these old movies are stored away however not only do they face a number of dangers from natural elements but they are notoriously difficult to find. Having birthday parties on old videos transferred to a digital medium makes for convenience and safe viewing. We all know often old tapes are warped or broken by their players. This type of breakage cannot occur once filmed birthday parties are transferred to a digital medium.

Should you have any birthday parties on film that need to be transferred to DVD or any other digital format please be sure to contact us for assistance!

Film To Video Conversions: Frame Rate Issues

There are a number of different things to consider when converting film over to the various forms of digital media. Chief among these reasons will be the frames per second that films are shot in. Individuals who own old films should definitely contact a professional so as to avoid a final product that can range anywhere from mildly irritating to completely unwatchable.

Films have traditionally been shot between 16 and 24 frames per second. Videos on the other hand run at just under 30 frames per second. Old films should be converted to video by a professional will be so that they can compensate for the difference in speed between film and digital video.

 Conversions done at home or by laypersons utilizing store-bought tools usually miss out on the opportunity to compensate and therefore end up being subpar conversions in which the video looks choppy or gets the jitters.

There are many things that owners of old films must be wary of if they want to preserve their memories for the remainder of their lives and even the lives of those whom they plan to pass them down to. One of the most important things on this list is capturing proper motion. When films are converted to digital video by a professional who possesses the experience and the tools to do so properly, there will be plenty of frame rate compensation which will leave owners of films and now digital videos with memories that look as smooth as they ever did and sometimes even better.

Best of all converting film to digital video isn't as expensive as it once was with many professionals willing to work with individuals in order to give them the opportunity to have their memories preserved. Additionally the convenience of watching digital videos that have been converted from film makes it easy to enjoy reliving moments from the past any time the mood or need strikes.

Memories In A Slideshow

In order to preserve their memories, many individuals have elected to have, slides, and even pictures transferred over to DVD or some other digital medium. This type of transfer keeps their memories safe for an entire lifetime provided they take care of their discs. While these types of transfers are certainly convenient and comforting for many, they can also be boring.

The stoic experience of viewing old movies and pictures on a DVD can become stale rather quickly. For this reason alone many of the firms that transfer older types of media to more modern ones have begun offering slideshow services. Individuals can now choose to have a slideshow created utilizing the same media that they would for a standard DVD transfer but when a slideshow is created by a professional they can add in music, sound effects, and arrange pictures and movie clips in any way their customer chooses.

Viewing old home movies and pictures that are accompanied by music can really liven up the experience and can make viewing more nostalgic than ever before. Of course many professionals will simply insert stock music into a slideshow but others also offer their clients the choice of having their own music inserted.

Due to the myriad of choices that a customer has when creating a slideshow through a professional service, many different types of slideshows can be created. Personal slideshows are obviously the most prevalent but many businesses also now take advantage of these types of services and have slideshows created that are used to welcome new employees into the fold and even train them on company policies and procedures. Other types of slideshows include funeral tributes, birthday wishes, memorials, and even graduation themed slideshows.

If you've ever considered having your old media transferred over to a medium like DVD then you should take that consideration one step further and have a slideshow created. When you receive your slideshow back from the professional you hired you'll be glad you went the extra mile.
