There is a one-time setup fee of $15.00 for film transfers which includes machine calibration, dry cleaning of film, film repair, color correction, brightness, contrast, sharpness, and sound (if applicable).


 We process your film FRAME-BY-FRAME using a built in 3-CCD professional camera scanning directly off the surface of your film with an enlarged gate for access to 100% of the film frame. Most competitors shoot off a screen or telecine unit at 20 frames per second which adds artifacts to your final product. We capture your film FRAME-BY-FRAME virtually eliminating all flicker, ghosting, and digital artifacts!
We only charge for the amount of film on each reel, not for the reel size.

Reel sizes are shown to help you estimate cost. This makes home movie transfers very affordable.
 

Our machines use a sprocket-less drive system that protects your film from potential damage typical of other sprocket driven projectors and transfer devices. True, total frame discretion means the clearest, most crisp picture possible!

          
 
Splicing Repairs FREE! (Film Only)
When transferring your precious films, we take every precaution necessary to handle your film as delicately as possible. In the event your old film splices come apart, we will make repairs FREE of charge!
 
Add a Musical Soundtrack to your Film Transfers
We add legally licensed professional quality 44k (CD Quality) music to tastefully match the look and feel of your film. 
 
Add Custom titles to your film reels!
We can add titles such as “Summer Vacation 1968” which display on screen for approximately 10 seconds at the start of each of your film chapters!

 

Add Narration to your Video or Film

You can either use your own cassette recorder or pc to record yourself narrating to your video or film or we can schedule time in our Professional recording studio to record your narration and add it to your video or film transfer.

 

DVD Scene Selection Menu INCLUDED with Film Transfers

We add a Scene Selection menu to your transferred film which includes up to 8 Chapters per menu page providing quick and easy navigation to any particular part of your DVD.

 

We use commercial JVC BR-S800U high resolution video recorders to transfer your video at the highest possible clarity. There is virtually NO VIDEO DEGRADATION during the transfer process that is commonly seen when using consumer VCR's.

 

Placing more than 2 hours of video onto a single DVD would require a higher level of compression which will result in lower quality video. Therefore, in this case, it is recommended we use a 2nd DVD for better quality.

 

NTSC TAPE SPEED & TIME

Standard Play (SP) is the most common recording speed used for VHS and

 VHS-C tapes. You can get up to 120 minutes of recording time on the normal (T-120) video cassette. This is the speed most rented movies are recorded. Using the highest tape speed in the VHS format, SP speed, will offer the highest measurable quality for both audio and video segments. SP is recommended for duplication.

 

Long Play (LP) is a seldom used format. Many newer VCR's are unable to play and/or record in this older format.

 

Extended Play (EP) or sometimes (XP) is the longest VHS recording speed.

You can get up to 360 minutes of recording time on a T-120 video cassette.
