You can choose to have your 8mm silent films converted to DVD or MPEG4 (H264) video files to play on any PC or Mac computer. MPEG4 (H264) is a high quality file and an industry standard.
One great advantage of MPEG4 files is that they are editable. This means you can re-imagine the original films by cutting out poor images, rearranging the order, adding narration, photos, special effects, transitions, titles and mixing music of your choice.
We offer an editing service with 8mm film to digital conversion where you can come in and sit with one of our editors to re-imagine your old films.
The edited final product can then be transferred to DVD or another MPEG4 video file. You’ll be amazed at what you can create in a short time!
