Digitize 16mm & Super 8mm Film to Digital or DVD

We scan your 8mm film and Super 8 film in high definition using a professional 8mm to dvd converter “film scanner”. This produces a much higher resolution then the film itself so every pixel is scanned resulting in the most amazing quality you will ever see from your reels. The professional 8mm to dvd converter was originally designed for use in Hollywood by the Movie Academy Film Archive, and now Create my DVD uses that same professional film unit to convert your reels.

Convert 8mm Film, Super 8 sound or 16mm to Digital

All Super 8 Film reels and 8mm Film reels are processed frame by frame, this means every individual frame is scanned, saved and then later joined together digitally. If you have super 8 sound film, the sound will be captured using a sound projector and synced back to the film.

Transfer Super 8mm to Digital using 2K Scanning

For the highest quality film transfer, all 8mm Film is digitized as HD (High Definition 720). DVD’s are SD (standard Definition), however the digital down convert leaves more pixels of film translating to a better looking film transfer. Although 8mm film and super 8 film is just slightly more than SD, HD make a big difference with the quality of the film transfer. This is because the dots of the film are scattered and would be missed if transferred with SD (Standard Definition). Down converting back to SD is still very high quality compared to a straight SD film transfer. If you would like to have the 720 HD file, we can save your HD film transfer to a hard drive or flash drive. Be sure to check off this option when completing the order form.
