Transfers can be made from formats such as 16mm, Regular 8mm and Super 8mm, Mini DV, 3/4", VHS, VHS-C, and Hi8mm - inquire about the type of media you have to get price and turn-around estimates via phone call or email.  

Transfers can be made to most hard drives or thumb drives, Mini DV tapes, DV-CAM tapes, as AVID DNXHD, 1080p HD ProRes 422 1080i or 720p Quicktime files.

Traditional lo-end transfers are done by using a projector to project the image through a right angle prism or onto a screen, and then using a video camera to capture the image. By doing so, you are losing quality and resolution because the image is blown up for viewing purposes. The larger the image projected, the more quality is lost. 

We offer beautiful results by not projecting the image. 

Our transfer process involves scanning directly from the actual film. The film is run through a projector and lit from behind - much like an X-Ray. A macro lens then focuses directly on the film and a 3-CHIP CCD camera records it at a one to one ratio. 

All basic transfers are made with space between reels, without any editing or titling. Transfers can be made to any media noted above, as well as additionally to DVD if arranged. Separate tape transfers or those requiring additional tapes each require separate charges. Reels to be transferred in sequence must be numbered by the client before delivery for transfer. Some contract compensation can be done, but greatly over- or under-exposed footage will be left in that state, as only so much can be done.

Standard turn-around time is by the end of the following day, but turn-arounds for special orders or large orders must be discussed at the time of delivery for transfer.
