Film Reel Sizes

How to Determine 8mm Film Reel Sizes

3 inch film reel
3 inch reel = 50 feet of film

A 50-foot reel will fit in the palm of your hand and is about 3 inches wide.
Running time: approx 3 minutes

5 inch film reel
5 inch reel = 200 feet of film

A 200-foot reel is about the size of a CD or DVD.
Running time: approx 13 minutes

7 inch film reel
7 inch reel = 400 feet of film

Remember 45-rpm records? A 400-foot reel is about the same size.
Running time: approx 25 minutes

double 8 film reel
Measuring note!

Your boxes may be labeled, "Double 8, 25 feet." Old 8mm movie cameras used a 25-foot roll of 16mm film. When this film was processed in Kodak's lab, it was slit down the center, becoming two 25-foot film strips, 8 millimeters wide. These strips were then spliced together. The result: 50 feet of film.

Testimonials

Trusted by Thousands of Families
& Top-Organizations


  • "Very thrilled

    with the outcome of the 70 year old slides that you converted to digital files for me. The end product was a lot better than I expected. This was the first time I have seen pictures of my father from when he was a young boy in the 1950s. He passed last year and these keepsakes are very treasured."

    Stephen S.

  • "I was very pleased

    with Nostalgic Media. First, leading up to placing my order, I called them and got someone on the phone immediately, no 1 minute recording. My questions were answered and I submitted my material and payment. The sending was quick and I was notified of shipping dates. Would use their services again."

    Tom R.

  • "Nostalgic media delivered

    just as they advertised. They converted my 55+ year old 8mm reels into digital media and now my family can relive some golden moments that I had feared were lost to memory. They were fast and gave me a product better than what I had hoped for. I recommend them without hesitation."
