Cine To DVD

We will transfer your precious cine reels to a digitised format, which enables us to maintain quality, protection from degradation and permits ease of replication.

Any copies made can be region-encoded for viewing abroad (converting the European standard PAL-format to the NTSC-format used in the Americas) and converted accordingly at the final stage.

If sound is present, this will be included on the finished conversion, free of charge.

Formats we can convert:

• Standard 8 and Super 8
• 9.5mm
• 16mm

The choices that we offer are numerous (see FAQ's for details); we can transfer directly to DVD with no editing, we can also add music and/or titles, include chapter points or just allow you to play the finished DVD straight away with no editing. Where possible, tapes are placed in a chronological order if they are clearly labelled as such.

For example, a popular choice is to add a subtle fade in and out at the start of each cine movie, along with a nice title to include the date and location filmed if known – this does NOT alter in any way the content of your cine reel – it merely adds to the viewing experience.

Background music of your choice can also be added if required. You may either provide us with your music tracks or choose from our extensive music library (50,000 tracks!).

Furthermore, it is possible for us to take stills from the converted footage and print these onto the DVD cover and sleeve, adding a totally personal touch and further demonstrating our pursuit of putting our heart and soul into each and every conversion.

In order to help you calculate how much footage you have please refer to the following:-

                        50 ft. reels (3" diameter) - 4 minutes each approx
                        200 ft. reels (5" diameter) - 15 minutes each approx
                        400 ft. reels (7" diameter) - 30 minutes each approx

Using our conversion processes and techniques enables you to enjoy your vintage cine films once more without the hassle of setting up that tired old projector and screen.

We aim to give your Cine memories a new lease of life!
