What's Included
Cleaning
The tiniest speck of dust or dirt will look enormous on your TV screen. We
clean all 8mm and Super 8mm movie film to assure you get the clearest picture
possible.
Splicing
As your film gets older, the splices you may have applied years ago may not
hold as well as they used to. Should those splices break, we will repair them
(within reason) at no extra charge.
If you have three or more 50-foot reels, they will be spliced onto 200 or 400-foot reels. Each reel will be labeled, indicating which 50-foot reels have been spliced into it. Empty reels, with writing on them, will be returned.
Transfer & Monitoring
Your film is digitally transferred directly to computer using HD quality
cameras. Trained technicians monitor your entire transfer for picture framing
and focus
Editing & Enhancement
Our editors view your entire transfer scene by scene, eliminating blank
footage, and enhancing brightness, contrast and color on our exclusive transfer
system.
Opening Title
We begin your home movie production with your own personalized title (Example:
"The Smith Family Memories"). This same title will be imprinted on the face of
your DVD.
Background Music
We will add background hi-fi Dolby digital music to the entire length of the
transfer. This can be from our library of family-oriented, easy listening music
or you can provide your own CD to bring your movies to life. See our additional
services for supplying your own audio or custom audio to your transfer.
Your DVD
When transferring to a DVD, we use the highest quality DVD-R media that has
been tested to get the maximum quality results with our equipment.
Conversion Process
Your film will be converted to DVD utilizing VBR (Variable Bitrate) encoding
technology which produces an overall higher and more consistent quality level
than Constant Bit Rate encoding.
Custom DVD Imprint
The same Opening Title that you choose will be custom printed on the face of
your DVD.
Thumbnail Menu & Chapter Points
A visual "thumbnail" menu at the beginning, showing a picture of the first
frame of each three-minute chapter point.
