Your movie reels are cared for by our trained archiving experts, who will treat your materials with the utmost care. Your items never leave our store or get shipped away, and we return all original media to you once the process is complete.
All of our movie film transfers are cleaned first and then hand processed on an organic LED scanner for the best possible results. We can save your files as MP4, MOV or AVI for your post-project editing. We charge only for usable content - you'll never pay for the leaders or space between splices!
How it works:
Drop off your reels to be digitized at our store.
Choose from DVD, Blu-Ray, USB drive, or cloud delivery.
Your memorabilia is cared for by our trained archiving experts, who will treat your materials with the utmost care.
About a week later, return to pick up your the DVD, Blu-Ray or USB drive containing your footage.
Your items never leave our property or get shipped away.
We return all original media to you after the process is complete.
Who else needs a copy?
The best way to share your renewed video and movie footage is by getting family members their very own copy. It’s no fun to pass the same DVD or USB drive around to family across the world, and the digital movie files are too large for online sharing. As you’re embarking on your project, think of grandparents, parents, siblings, cousins, children and grandchildren who may appreciate a copy today (or when they’re grown up).
