Choose Output Format

Picking the final format for your film transfer is a personal decision and should be based on your goals. If you are having your old movie film transferred so that you can watch it on TV with your DVD or Blu-Ray player then you might want to order the SD DVD or HD Blu-Ray output.

If you simply want us to create a High Definition 1080 HD editable file to do your custom editing at home with, then you can choose one of the editable file options. If you want to have your cake and eat it too -- we can provide you with the instant gratification on DVD, Blu-Ray, AND editable HD files!

Blu-Ray technology is extremely new and many Blu-Ray players on the market today still have problems reading a "burned" Blu-Ray disc even with the latest firmware updates. If you order Blu-Ray, we do not guarantee that your player will be able to read it. Over time, the Blu-Ray manufacturers will work out the kinks and provide consumers with more versatile players.

Because of this, we recommend that if you order Blu-Ray, you also order DVD discs so that you can be assured that you will be able to view your movies on a DVD player while the industry catches up.

Editing Your Video from your Movie Film Transfer:

A DVD Video can be edited with the correct tools (Pinnacle 12 http://www.pinnaclesys.com) is one example. However, please be advised DVD Video is in MPEG2 format; a file format which is a very lossy compression format. If you want a good master file to edit from, you should order AVI on a hard drive to produce the highest quality video.

You may want to consider getting a copy on a playable DVD or Blu-Ray in addition to the editable file format. This way you can archive the film and have a format you can edit. By ordering a playable DVD up front, you can have instant gratification and enjoy watching your old movies the day your order arrives.

All versions (files, DVDs, and Blu-Ray discs) are created from our master quality video file. We go back to the master file and completely re-render the video to the output format. We never make one format using another (making the DVD from Blu-Ray) like many other companies do. We do not take shortcuts with quality.

Why stop at only having your movie film converted to video?

Once we have captured your movie film "frame by frame" we can create as many still photos as you want!

Digital Photos are 720x480 from SD transfers
or 1920x1080 from HD transfers.

We can create still images from your movie film using a wide range of capture timing; meaning that we can save every frame, or one frame every second, or one frame every 5 seconds, or anything you want.

Just call us to discuss your options.

The best part is that this service only costs 2 cents per digital photo.
