The DVD and Blu-ray Disc are delivered back to the customer via UPS (along with the source media); and the data files are placed in the customer's new private LightJar cloud storage account for play, download, and sharing.

Limitations: This film transfer special offering is available only via online purchase, and will not be available year round.
Calculating Film Feet: Film transfer is priced by the film foot. The table below calculates the amount of film feet. Enter the number of each size film reel in your collection, in the table below, to figure out how much total film footage you have. Each order is a custom job, and final quantity of film feet can be
impacted by removing damaged or blank film, or by the estimation of film
feet being incorrect. We only charge for the actual number of film
feet transferred.

Scanning Process: All film conversion processes include film inspection, cleaning, and
repair. We repair old splices, remove blank film and damaged
perforations, and replace the leader if necessary. Prior to scanning
your film, we carefully clean it with a special solution to remove dust, mold, and other contaminants from the film stock .
We use high definition film scanners (models Sniper and Universal Retro, both from MovieStuff) to digitally scan and record the entire contents of each frame of your 8mm, Super 8mm and 16mm film. The captured film content is then reformatted and converted into two (2) new digital formats. DVDs are standard definiton video (720x480 resolution). High definition formats, such as Blu-ray Disc and HD Data Files, have 1920 x 1080p resolution, in a
16 x 9 aspect ratio, at 18 to 20 frames per second (fps) for silent
film and 24fps for film with sound tracks. Our film scanners'
frame-by-frame scanning of each film frame provides a superior,
flicker-free movie.
Turnaround: Average turnaround is 2 to 3 weeks from receipt of your order into our lab back to your doorstep.
