"We can’t say enough about how much the entire family has been enjoying watching the digitized versions of our family/friends, videos that were taken from 60 to 70 years ago! The same for listening to the audio conversions. We also appreciate how well this company cared for the original 8mm, VHS, and audio cassette sent for conversion to digital form. The personnel have been helpful and respectful with each contact, and the service itself is professional and quick. We highly recommend doing business with Nostalgic Media and will be using this company again with any more film/cassettes that we happen to find in our grandparent’s trunks and attics."

How to Determine 8mm Film Reel Sizes
A 50-foot reel will fit in the palm of your hand and is about 3 inches wide.
Running time: approx 3 minutes
A 200-foot reel is about the size of a CD or DVD.
Running time: approx 13 minutes
Remember 45-rpm records? A 400-foot reel is about the same size.
Running time: approx 25 minutes
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.
How We Digitize Your Film
Our handcrafted, custom engineered process ensures your 8mm and 16mm film reels are kept safe at every step of the process, all while giving you outstanding quality at budget-friendly prices. Here's how it works:
- All work is done in-house at our secure facility in Atlanta, GA
- Film is cleaned, spliced, and repairs are made where possible
- Smaller 3-inch reels will be spliced together onto larger 400-foot reels
- Large sections of blank/damaged footage are removed. You only pay for footage that is able to be transferred.
- Film is monitored by a technician during the conversion process on our custom-built film transfer equipment
- Adjustments are made for color and contrast where possible
- All original film is returned with your completed order

"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."

"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."

"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."
