Save Your Memories - Transfer Your Film To A Digital Format

[Arik Paran]

In the age of the digital revolution, many families have years of memories stored inconveniently in a pre-digital format. Birthdays, weddings, vacations, and various other joyous events were recorded on film medium for years. While the technology is now obsolete, the memories surely aren’t! Storing your video footage in film is both inconvenient and risky. Not only do you require special equipment on which to watch film, but your film is vulnerable to loss, destruction, and age related degradation. Fortunately it is now possible to have all of your film converted into a digital format.

Using high fidelity digital technology, you can now have your 8mm, Super 8mm, and 16mm film converted into a convenient digital format. The lighting quality, picture clarity, and color depth can all be drastically improved thanks to the powerful conversion process. Professional film to digital transfer services can help you convert your stock of film into uncompressed video files or even a playable DVD that works in almost any DVD player.

Professional film to digital transfer services provide quality of care and experience that will yield breath taking results. The process begins with cleaning and repairing the film, adding leader, and splicing as necessary. Once the film is prepared, the transfer process uses aerial capture method technology, which removes any flickering , balances the light distribution, and perfects the focus. Film frames are digitized one at a time, allowing the final video to have the correct frame rate without interference.

When you transfer your film to digital, digital color correction processes help compensate for color casts and under or over exposed film, leaving you with a more natural and balanced looking film.

If your film has sound, then the soundtrack will be recorded in real time and synchronized on the digital version. It is even possible to convert mono sound into simulated stereo.

The final product is a DVD of your movie and an uncompressed master video file. The DVD can be specially formatted with auto play and a chapter structure, making navigation much easier than the original copy. The master video file is important if you wish to do any editing to your film, however, it is also useful to preserve as a backup copy.

With so many benefits of quality, ease of use, storage, and protection from damage, professional film to digital transfer services are a great option for anyone who has cherished memories and life experiences stored on film!
