First we want you to
know we have never had anyone's 8mm or Super 8mm films lost in transit to us
or from us. Also,
after we digitize your 8mm films for the first time we keep a digital copy on
our hard drives for 30 days. This means if something was to
happen on the return trip or you needed additional copies, we could simply
pull up our back-up files and remake the DVDs.
Also, when you fill out your order form we
receive an electronic copy right away in our email. So we know who is
sending what. If something doesn't arrive in a timely manner we
investigate.
Safe Shipping
Tips: We understand sending your irreplaceable tapes to us for transfer
can be a scary task. With a few steps of caution your 8mm movies can
arrive just as safely as driving them across town. In over ten years
of doing mail order business we have never had a clients 8mm / Super 8
movies lost or damaged in
the mail. The purpose of the following info is to share with you what we have
learned over the years. These are not just our opinions.
-
Do not use Media Mail.
"Media Mail" is a form of third class mail the post office uses for
shipping books, tapes and other forms of media. Your 8mm films
would qualify for this type of transportation but we do not recommend
you use it. Considering what you are mailing this is no time to pinch a
penny.
-
Don't forget your Return
address. Please make sure you have supplied a legible return address
on the outside of the box. You should also have our order form on the
inside of the box with your contact information. It is important to have
an address on the inside and the outside of the box. If something was to
happen to the box that left the outside label unreadable, the shipper
will open the box and look for a shipping address inside. It is very
common for clients to forget to include the order form. So please, don't
forget the order form.

"Regular 8 or
Super 8, what's the difference ?" |
When it comes to having 8mm or Super
8 film transferred to DVD, it doesn't matter if you have 8mm or Super 8.
Cost for transferring Regular 8 and Super 8 are the same.

"Are my 8mm films too old to be put
on DVD?" |
8mm film was first introduced to the public in 1932 and we have transferred
8mm
films from as far back as 1936 with no problems. There is one thing
however that can cause your 8mm films to be non-transferable:
Vinegar Syndrome: Vinegar Syndrome is the name given to 8mm film that have started the
decay process. If you have 8mm movies that have Vinegar Syndrome you will know
right away by the strong smell of vinegar. This does not mean that
if your 8mm movie reels smell like vinegar we can't help you. The decay
process is a process. What I mean by that is your 8mm films could be in
the early stages of decay and can still be transferred to DVD. What the
smell of vinegar should mean to you is; put your project higher on your
to-do list. Time is running out for 8mm movies with Vinegar syndrome.
Determining the cost to have your 8mm or
Super 8's converted to DVD can be very confusing. The reason is
most transfer shops, including us, charge by how many feet of 8mm / Super 8 film we
transfer. But you are at home looking at a dusty box of 8mm reels thinking,
"I have no idea how many feet of film there is in that box"!
We understand that. So I want to spend a
minute showing you how to estimate how much it will cost to have your
8mm films transferred to DVD.
It's all in the size of the reel. A 3 inch reel holds,
full, 50 feet of 8mm/Super 8 film. So lets say you are paying $0.15 or
fifteen cents per foot to have your 8mm film transferred to DVD. You would
multiply 50 times 0.15 equals 7.50, or $7.50 for that 3 inch 8mm reel to be
transferred to DVD.
That works with all reels of 8mm or Super
8 film. First
measure across the reel to see what size it is. Then
determine what it holds full (chart below) and multiply by how many cents
per foot you are paying for the transfer. Most common reel sizes
are, 3 inches, 5 inches and 7 inches.

5" reel |
200 feet of film |

6" reel |
300 feet of film |

When your 8mm or Super 8 films
arrive here we will estimate how much film you
have and send you an invoice. As we transfer your 8mm/Super 8 films our
computers will calculate home many feet of film are really transferred. If
our estimate was too high we will adjust it to reflect the actual feet of
film transferred. If it was too low, we will let the invoice stand as it
is. So you never have to worry about paying more than our estimate.

Bath time!
We clean all films with emulsion cleaner before running
them through our machines. This is to give you a better transfer and
to protect our machines from dirt and dust.
