8mm Film
Regular 8 film - Super 8 film
We clean your film using Edwal cleaner and a lint free cloth. If there are loose splices or breaks we repair those for an extra $1.00 per splice or break. We use telecine equipment that has a LED light source to eliminate hot spots and potential film burn damage, Capture is done at 720P and we finish with digital color correction for rich and vibrant images using Adobe Premiere.
We then record your video to DVD, adding a title menu and adding chapter breaks within the playback whenever the scenes change. We use the DVD format DVD-R which is the most widely used format in DVD players. Archival quality DVD's are rated to last up to 100 years. You will receive your DVD in a slim DVD case that has a printed color cover.
There are also numerous other storage options to save your newly recorded videos. We can compress your final project to fit on options like flash drives or the Cloud. The easier access to the recording for you, the easier it will be for you to play on devices that can play videos. Keep in mind that compression sometimes causes a degradation in quality.
We normally put 2 hours of film on a DVD. We can record up to 3 hours on a Double Layer DVD if necessary. Be sure to fill out the 8mm Project Pricing Form, this is very important. When gathering your film together make sure to put a sticky note on each film container indicating year and title for each scene in the film. If you do not know what is on the film we will process the film and have you examine a portion via a secure Youtube account to verify what the film is and what titles, year or other special information to include in the finished product. Print out our 8mm Project Pricing Form (this also includes a handy film sizing guide) located on our Ordering page. Fill out the form and include it with your film.
If you are dropping off your film at our office, see instructions on the order form you are filling out for your project on how/where to drop off. If not, place the film along with your order form in a strong box, packed to hold your film secure. Your local Post Office has boxes that can be purchased to hold your film for shipment. Make sure to send us an email (rdmdigital@gmail.com) stating that you are sending the film. Send your box to the following address:
