Files Preserving a Lifetime of Memories!
1920x1080 Initial Scan Quality
for ALL Personal Film Orders
AMAZING 1920x1080 Initial Scan
Quality plus Color Correction for Blu-ray &
DVD Orders!
Unlike modern VHS or Camcorder videos, your 8mm, Super-8 and 16mm
reel-to-reel movie films are a
series of tiny pictures just like their larger cousins shown at the
movie theatres. If these pictures are scanned one-at-a-time, the
video quality can exceed many forms of modern video! Films from
the 1950's can actually look much, much better than camcorder
tapes from the 1980's and 1990's!
Our commercial high definition frame-scanning
systems
capture each small "picture" from your film as a 1920x1080 JPG
before converting the images into smooth motion video.
Therefore, our initial scan quality is 6X the image quality of retail
store "telecine" or "frame-by-frame" transfers. In additional to better image
quality, we provide enhanced color quality. Our
commercial systems provide
superior control over color balance during the initial frame-scanning.
We also rewind & re-transfer scenes that benefit from better exposure or
color settings.
We also include
post-capture color editing with every Blu-ray or DVD order.
Blu-ray and DVD pricing includes one hour of post-capture color editing
labor per hour of film. We
make those wedding dresses white again! We help films that have
turned green or red look their best!
Slow Frame-Scanning & Attention to Detail!
The same system that is used
to transfer films for a broadcast-quality documentary is used for your
personal family films.
We are also perfectionists and sometimes transfer reels two or
three times to achieve acceptable results - sometimes using different
systems that have been modified to handle certain types of problems
associated with aging films.
We do ask that you allow us extra working time if your films have
certain flaws or color problems. We have a vast array of
techniques at our disposal, but some of them require extra working time.
Our
Film to DVD Transfer Method, Step-by-Step:
1. All Films Are
Thoroughly Cleaned
using a
professional film cleaning product recommended by Kodak. You receive
our pro cleaning service where we repeat the entire cleaning process at
least 10X...
Customers can also request Extended Deep Cleaning as an upgrade option.
2. Your Films Are Transferred
Initially at 1920x1080 using
the very latest 2012 studio-quality transfer systems. These
advanced systems are superior to the simple machines used by bulk
transfer services and photo stores.
3. A Real
Person Manually Adjusts the Scan Settings
throughout the entire transfer to obtain the proper exposure,
brightness, contrast & color correction levels. Although we can
set this to “automatic”, we prefer the quality obtained from personal
monitoring.
We also stop, rewind, adjust our settings & re-transfer sections that
are particularly difficult.
Due to the extra care at this important stage, we have become one
of the most sought-after transfer services available.
4. We
Professionally Edit Your Video
utilizing one of our multi-processor computer workstations.
We remove totally black or white areas and further color correct areas
that have turned green or red from age.
All DVD & Blu-ray orders receive our basic Level 1 color correction.
The final results look better than the original projected film!
Note that we cannot add color to films that have turned brown or
to those that have lost most of their color, but we can enhance the
capture video to bring-out the best from even the most damaged film
sections.
Additional color correction levels can be ordered within 30 days while
we still have your master files on our systems.
5. We Author Your
“Master” Disc
complete
with a Scene Selection Menu showing picture links to each reel's chapter. If
you provide a list of reel titles on a typed print-out, we will also add
precise chapter titles in the DVD menu. (Number the page to match your
reel order, then list the titles next to each reel's number. No
hand-writing please - we want your order to be correct!) Remember, like store-purchased
DVDs, our DVDs are standard definition video. If you want a high
definition version, you will need to order the Blu-ray version.
The Blu-ray version will not play in a DVD player or computer that does
not have a Blu-ray player. Please order the 1920x1080 HD
Motion-JPEG video if you want a high quality video file to play back on
computers or media centers.
6. Custom Color Labels are Designed
using some of the original JPG scans. We print our disc
labels directly to the surface of your disc and include an
attractive DVD case with matching cover. We then PROFESSIONALLY
LAMINATE your disc! The
glossy laminate makes the color images printed to the surface of our
DVDs water and fingerprint resistant.
7. Your Films and New discs Are Carefully Packed & Shipped
using DELIVERY CONFIRMATION. This method provides tracking info
for the safety of your films. We value your memories from start to
finish!
8. We
Stand by Our Service - One Year Warranty for Blu-rays & DVDs
We will fix any obvious mistakes if you let us know within 30 days of
receiving your order back. After 30 days we cannot make changes to
your order. Our Motion-JPEG, AVID DNxHD & ProRes 422 files come with a 30 day warranty.
You must make your own backup copy within 30 days. However, our playable DVDs
and playable Blu-rays include a One Year
Warranty. As long as you ship-back the original, we will make a
new copy from our archives and send it to you.
Advanced
Options: 1920x1080p Motion-JPEG (avi), AVID
DNxHD (mov), or ProRes 422 (mov)
Customers with personal
films can also order the 1920x1080p HD files for editing on faster home
computers using modern video editing software. We use a 12-drive RAID to handle the HD video output
coming from our frame-scanning systems.
Therefore
our
source video is 150X the data rate of the DVD
"VOB" video files provided by retail store transfers).
There is simply no way to achieve
our frame-scanning quality by taking your films to a local retail store
or building some type of DIY system from an old projector.
Our
HD files include our extended deep cleaning process but do not contain post-capture color correction unless requested
as an upgrade option. We center the entire frame from top to
bottom so that we do not crop-off peoples' heads or feet.
Therefore personal film orders have a black border where the frame ends
on the left & right sides. The left border begins where the
sprocket hole is located. The right border begins where the usable
frame ends. Depending on the original film camera, the width of
the frame will vary.
Our
Motion-JPEG video is approx. 70 Mbps, AVID DNxHD is approx. 145 Mbps,
and ProRes 422 is approx. 139 Mbps. (In
comparison the mpg2 (DVD) or VOB files that others provide are only
about 5
Mbps!)
Uncompressed M-JPEG, ProRes 422 HQ, and ProRes 4444 are
also available for an upgrade fee but require a high speed RAID or large
SSD to handle the data throughput. Therefore the AVID DNxHD has
become a popular choice for both PC & MAC editors and we will even
include the FREE AVID DNxHD codec which works with most modern HD video
editing software.
You must provide
a freshly formatted USB, eSATA or bare SATA drive along with your films
reels to hold the files - they are too large to send on multiple data
DVD-R discs... Each
100' of film will require between 4 GB and 12 GB of hard
drive space depending on the file format requested. Your return
shipping quote will include shipping back the reels along with your hard
drive.
