Contra Costa County - Film Transfer Services

Film Transfer FAQ

  • All of the work we do is done in house at our physical office 1329 Solano Avenue Albany CA - We never outsource your materials, but if for some reason we need then we will speaking with you first.

  • We are able to transfer 8mm film, Super8 film & 16mm film into digital computer format or playable DVD.

  • Your film can be scanned at SD 720x480, HD 1920x1080, and we will soon be offering 2k & 4k film transfer. Please ask about 2k & 4k, if you are interested.

  • Yes, we can transfer Super8mm sound film as well as 16mm optical sound. WE CANT transfer 16mm magnetic sound at this time.

  • You have the choice of MP4, MOV (Quicktime) or AVI. MP4 files are compatible on most platforms, and MOV usually defaults to Mac, and AVI to PC.

  • We number every film reel that we receive prior to transfer, and you will have a corresponding digital file with a number that matches up to the numbered reel. If you want the reels to be in a certain order, then please number them prior to drop off or arrange in the preferred order and then we will number them.

  • If you decide on HD output and want a disc back, then it will need to go on a Blu-Ray disc, but with standard def transfer we can put the footage on a DVD-R. 10 hrs of standard definition can be put onto a Blu-Ray disc, but you must a have a Blu-Ray player to play a Blu-Ray disc.

“They were able to provide a truly amazing slide show for a life celebration that my whole family was thoroughly impressed by. Everyone was asking for their info as we all have memories that we need to have archived to pass on to our next generations. I couldn't recommend them any higher!”

— Andre B. Dublin, CA

“Sean and Andrea were great to work with. They took my old VHS cassette tapes, digitized them, and uploaded the mp4 video files to a secure server. Communication was excellent, price was fair and I'll certainly be back again. Thanks!”

— Robyn H. Oakland, CA
