8mm Film Transfer 8mm & Super 8 to DVD, MiniDV (DVC), and/or Hard Drive (AVI File)
Our website allows you to easily generate an order, but first let us start with the Estimate!
Please select one of the 4 options below:
I have between 1 and 12 reels of film and want them transferred to DVD - with photo & text menu titles like I see here.
This process is a little more involved - but we think it is worth it! It will give you an even more accurate estimate and yields a more succinct and simplified order.
Unlike some other transfer houses, we do NOT project your film’s image onto a secondary image, (such as a silver-screen or matt glass) but rather it goes straight onto our high-end 3CCD chip industrial camera. This direct method is most important in achieving a crisp and sharp image.
Recognizing the difference between Super-8 and Normal-8
Normal 8 film has larger perforations at the edges of the film than does Super-8 film. In Normal 8, the holes are almost square. In Super-8, the holes are elongated and narrow. The film spools are also different. In Normal 8, the center hole of the film spool is smaller than the center hole of the Super-8 spool. In Normal-8, the center hole measures approximately 8 mm. In Super-8, it measures approximately 13 mm.
It’s easy to find out. From this page, you are 1 or 2 clicks away from seeing your "Estimated Completion Date." As soon as you finish your free online Estimate, it shows you the ESTIMATED completion date. Sometimes we beat that date but if, for any reason, we find we might go over by a day or two, we will surely notify you (that’s rare.)
NOTE: Our turn-around time varies based on how much work we already have "in-house" at the time your order is placed.
We base our invoice on the total minutes of your transferred footage. For slides it is bases on the actual number of slides. Therefore, it is only after the transfer is completed that we will know what the total cost of your order is. We then notify you via an email, and you can pay for it then.
If you have under-estimated your total footage (or slides), your invoice will be a bit more, and if you over-estimated, then the cost will be a bit less. Both cases happen sometimes, and it’s OK.
No – so we can only transfer film that has already been processed.
If your film has not already been processed, please do so before mailing it to FilmFix. (Disappointingly, we have had to return 3 orders which were not transferable!)
