We can digitize the following film formats: 8mm, Super 8, Super 8 sound, 16mm, 16mm optical sound, and Polavision cartridges.

About 8mm Film

8mm (standard) film emerged in the 1930s as a cost-effective substitute for 16mm. Often called “Double 8” or “Regular 8”, these film reels used 16mm film that contained double the number of perforations (sprockets) compared to regular 16mm film.

During filming, the initial run through the camera would only expose half the film's width. The reel would then need to be turned over and reinserted into the camera to expose the remaining half. After processing, the film is cut lengthwise down the center, yielding two pieces of 8mm film.

Each frame was a quarter size of 16mm, allowing four times more footage on the same film amount, making it affordable for amateur filmmakers. Each 50-foot spool provided about three minutes of filming time. We transfer your 8mm film to DVD or 8mm film to digital in real time, adjusting for color and contrast while capturing the entire frame.

About Super 8 Film

Super 8 film was introduced in 1965 as an improved version of standard 8mm film. This revolutionary format featured larger frame sizes and pre-scored film that eliminated the need for splitting, making it significantly more user-friendly than its predecessor.

The film came in easy-to-load cartridges that simplified the entire filming process. Unlike earlier formats, Super 8 didn't require flipping or reinserting the film mid-recording. The cartridge system protected the film from light exposure and handling damage, ensuring better results for amateur cinematographers.

Each frame was 50% larger than standard 8mm, delivering superior image quality while maintaining economical film usage. A standard 50-foot cartridge provided approximately three and a half minutes of recording time.

About 16mm Film

Eastman Kodak rolled out 16mm film in the 1920s, initially targeting home movie buffs and amateur filmmakers. But before you knew it, this format caught on with experts in education, businesses, government, and healthcare. TV networks and news crews went for 16mm film because it was cheaper and simpler to work with than 35mm film at the time.

Surprisingly, 16mm film continues to find applications in present-day television and cinematic productions, largely due to enhanced image quality and advances in digital technologies. Even so, converting 16mm film to digital makes viewing and sharing those memories much easier.

Video Tape Transfer Service

Wonderful Service

I am so happy with the conversion from old video tape to DVD and flash drive from Nostalgic Media. The work was done quickly and I am thrilled to have these precious memories updated so that I can share them with my children and grandchildren. I recommend Nostalgic Media to all my friends. Thank you.

Beyond Happy Customer

I have been wanting to convert my VHS tapes to digital for quite some time, but did not want to send them off. When I researched and Nostalgic Media came up with ad stating they serve the Middle Georgia area, I considered. I then called and actually talked with someone about the process. I immediately felt a peace in knowing they would take care of my treasures. And they absolutely did! I am extremely pleased with their service! Will absolutely use them in the future and recommend them to friends!

Professional service

I found 4 tapes in my parent’s house and we had no way to watch them and share them with family. I sent off the tapes and heard back from the store that there was an upcharge of $20 a piece for two of the tapes as they were in a special format. They completed the process in the 7-10 business days promised and I was happy with the ease of accessing the digital downloads as well as the organization of the tapes and dvds when I received them back.
