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 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.
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!
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!
8mm or 16mm Leader Installation ($2.00 each)
At the customers request we can install (or replace damaged) leader so that there is at least a 2
foot section at the start of each reel of film. This is NOT required for
film transfer. Without a leader the first few seconds of footage will
not be captured.
Musical Soundtrack INCLUDED with Film Transfers
We add
legally licensed professional quality 44k (CD Quality) music to tastefully match the look and
feel of your film. Voiceover
(narrations) are also available at additional cost. Contact us for pricing.
Titles to your film reels INCLUDED!
We 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 (Video Transfers
add $10/menu)
We can add a
Scene Selection menu to your transferred film or video which includes up
to 8 Chapters per menu page providing quick and easy navigation to any
particular part of your film or video.

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.
