• Convert 8mm Film to DVD or Digital — Transfer Super8 Film to Digital Don’t hesit8 it might be too l8 If you look back far enough, some of the very first home video footage was shot on 8mm film. Film, that if you’re lucky enough to have family memories that date back that far, is most likely stored (and neglected) in a hot attic or humid basement. With all those throwback memories fading away on an expired video format, it’s time you do something about it. But how? Can you transfer 8mm film to digital media? Yes, you absolutely can and we can help you. After all, we’ve been around since the beginning of film, so we’ve seen everything when it comes to the evolution of the technology. In fact, we’re responsible for developing the first 8mm film available to the masses back in the earliest stages of the technology, which makes us experts on the classic format and how to preserve it for future generations to come. You see, motion pictures in the first half of the 20th century were shot on large rolls of 35mm film. Around the same time, amateur film makers and documentarians were using 16mm film. As the technology began to progress over the years, the Hollywood cameras became more accessible to the everyday family, who started shooting their own home movies. But 16mm was too expensive, so Eastman Kodak (that’s us!) took the 16mm format and cut the frame size in half, and once processed, spliced the long roll of film down the middle to create two strips of film. It was not only more affordable but it was half the size with twice the amount of footage. By 1932, 8mm film became the standard format for the home film market. A little over a decade later, Standard 8 was in need of an upgrade. So in 1956, the super 8 film format was released to the public as a more easy-to-use film. It was even smaller than Standard 8 and packed even better image quality in a quick, reloadable cartridge form. While film has come a long way since 8mm’s heyday, it’s important to note that spools of this classic format still exist. The only problem is there’s no projectors to play them, and with every passing moment they sit in storage, they’re slowly dying. Even if they’re stored properly in a temperature controlled environment and their still in their original reel casing … you might as well consider that their coffin. But don’t beat yourself up if you never thought about this, even Hollywood has found out the hard way that films can be lost forever. That’s why we’re here to take one of our own classic analog creations and help you convert it to today’s digital world. Our qualified engineers can take your 8mm reels and convert them to DVD, thumb drive or the cloud with our digital conversion process.
• Convert MicroMV to DVD or Digital — Convert MicroMV to Digital Big memories can come in small packages If you thought tapes couldn’t get smaller than the MiniDV, you thought wrong. The only thing smaller than mini is micro, and that’s exactly how tiny these tapes truly were – nearly 70% smaller than the MiniDV that was released just a few years prior. When Sony released the MicroMV in 2001, these incredibly small cassette tapes gave a whole new meaning to the world compact. But while these were a marvel in terms of sheer size, it was a bit too late for a new tape to hit the market. By the early 2000s, consumers were quickly shifting to digital. VHS was dwindling and these smaller, cuter, more portable tapes weren’t doing enough to save the analog tape format. Instead, DVDs were the new kid on the block and would soon be the new king on the block for several years to come. As a result to being late to the party, MicorMV tapes didn’t last long when they were introduced to the market, and if left unkempt, they’re not going to last much longer sitting in that shoebox under your bed. Why? Because just like every other format before digital, the MicroMV still used the magnetic tape of old, which over time has proven to degrade causing your memories to fade – colors to lose hue and images to blur. Combine that with the fact that Sony was the only company to produce the tape (and they stopped producing these years ago) and you’ve got a limited amount of time and tapes to digitally preserve when it comes to these teeny-weeny home movie masterpieces. But that doesn’t mean all is lost – far from it. If you’ve got a handful of micros, then we’ve got the digital transfer process to help you convert them to DVD, thumb drive or the cloud. Our qualified technicians handle MicroMV tape conversions every day. So stop procrastinating the inevitable. We’ll send you our crushproof, pre-paid shipping box, and all you need to do is fill it up and send it out. You can even check the status of your order throughout the digitization process so that you know where your tapes are at every step of the way. You know what to do – stack up your tapes and send them in today. The tapes may be microscopic, but the memories are anything short of monumental.
• Convert VHS Tapes to Digital or DVD Format — VHS to DVD Transfer “Be kind, digitize” The days of VHS rental stores are long gone and with their demise, a surplus of VHS tapes are headed for oblivion. But seeing Hollywood blockbusters slowly fade with time isn’t nearly as sad as the long-neglected VCR and home VHS recordings that litter our attics and basements.That’s right, your beloved home movies are slowly fading from existence with every passing year. As the reigning home video format king of the 80s and 90s, VHS tapes were one inch thick, seven inches wide and four inches tall – the size of a small novella. It was the first video format that truly brought the ease of home recordings to the masses. But, when the format war hit American homes in the late 70s and early 80s, Betamax was the then supreme home video viewing product. It was the first off the block, but what it gained in being first, it lacked in substance and affordability. By the mid 80s, the Video Home System (or VHS) was the premier home video recording and viewing format, and its reign would last the remainder of the 20th century. As the format progressed, the novelty and affordability of recording memories on hand-held camcorders became so popular that families across the nation slowly began amassing troves of VHS tapes. These original tapes (that are now 30 plus years old), are slowly deteriorating, and those precious memories that they’ve preserved over the decades are fading.

• Convert VHS-C Tapes to Digital or DVD — VHS-C Digital Transfer Meet VHS’ little brother While VHS was sitting atop the home theater throne as king, people across America were busy recording everything from family vacations, graduation ceremonies, birthday parties, little league games and more onto VHS camcorders. Shooting these personalized home movies made for great watch parties and keepsakes. But as the technology behind the VHS tape and recording continued to grow, innovative companies like Kodak, began creating smaller and more affordable tape formats – like the VHS-C. This one-inch thick, four-inch wide and two-inch tall tape was a sleek and trimmed down sibling to the VHS tape. However, these new formats, while compact and mobile, lacked certain convenience factors that VHS tapes had. For example, the VHS-C format needed an adaptor to play on VCR or copy to VHS (basically a VHS deck with a VHS-C tape slot), which if you don’t have boxed up with your old video tapes makes watching your old VHS-C collection impossible. Nearly impossible … unless you use our digital transfer service to preserve those tiny VHS memories onto a future-proof digital format, such as a DVD, thumb drive or the cloud. After all, locating the necessary adapter to play your VHS-C is incredibly hard to find. But that’s only the start of your problems. The bigger issue – the real reason you need to digitize – is because the lifespan of your VHS-C tape is waning. In fact, it’s been happening for a while now. Fifteen years after it was made, your VHS-C tape’s magnetic tape started deteriorating – colors are fading, edges of film are blurring, and it’s only a matter of time before it’s all gone. Being one of the original manufactures of the VHS-C tape. We know all the ins and outs of its technology, which is why we’re warning you that its lifespan isn’t infinite. But it can be with our VHS-C transferring service. Our VHS-C converter service offers digital delivery through the cloud, thumb drive or DVD with the promise to put the “ever after” after happily, when it comes to saving and reliving all those family memories. We’ll replicate all those little league games, family picnics and dance recitals just as they were into a future-proof and easily sharable digital format.

• Hi8 to DVD or Digital Service — Convert Hi8 to Digital You say goodbye, and I say hello. After VHS had solidified its seat upon the home theater throne, the new challenge was making the tapes smaller, more compact and mobile. In 1985, the Handycam (Sony’s premier camcorder) made its debut and dads everywhere rejoiced in a lighter, less bulky video camera to tote around to ball games, school recitals and every other family-oriented event deemed worthy of recording (aka ALL of them). This technological upgrade of the time paved way for digital audio, which in combination with its sleek size and convenient portability made Hi8 the new go-to in family video entertainment. The name itself was an explanation of what it offered consumers, the “8” a reference to 8mm video tape and the “hi” standing for high quality. The tapes were about the size of a stack of playing cards at half an inch thick, 2.5 inches wide and just under 4 inches tall. They were so compact that they were almost too small, which is why most people who had Hi8s undoubtedly lost them in the shuffle of various moves, spring cleanings and more. But for those that still have a bundle of these cute little tapes laying around the house, it’s important to note that they won’t hold your memories forever. The magnetic Hi8 tapes of the 80s and 90s are deteriorating and their film is fading from improper storage, but more than that, simply old age. They’re dying. As one of the founding fathers of film, we’ve seen several iterations come and go over our illustrious 100 plus years in the industry. And while Hi8 was the new kid on the video block back in the late 80s, it’s shelf life was never meant to last forever. But it can, and we can help. Our Hi8 digitizing transfer service will convert every memorable moment packed onto that little tape into the digital realm via DVD, thumb drive or the cloud. Thousands of tapes just like yours are safely sent to our studio and transferred on a daily basis. We make the whole copy process as easy as possible by sending you a crush-proof, pre-paid shipping box. You simply load up your tapes, send them in and kick back as our team of qualified film professionals immortalize your memories onto digital formats. We’ll even notify you throughout the process so you know exactly what’s going on with your tapes, every step of the way. When we’re done converting, we’ll send back your original tapes in tow with your newly digitized formats so you can relive your first little league home run over and over … and over again.
• Mini-DV to Digital or DVD Conversion Service — MiniDV Tape to Digital Transfer Tiny tapes. Monumental memories. Video cassette tapes reached all time portability when MiniDV (MiniDVC) tapes hit the market in the mid 90s. By that time, the technology to compress images made the MiniDV possible and more portable camcorders were in the hands of families across the nation. The DV tapes themselves measured in at just a quarter-inch thick, two and a half inches wide and two inches tall. And while they were substantially smaller and easier than lugging around VHS tapes, the quality wasn’t necessarily any better. They still relied on capturing footage on magnetic tape, putting them into a category of eventual oblivion just like the VHS. That’s right, if you’ve got a shoebox full of MiniDV cassettes, it’s time to consider digitizing the footage because in another decade there might not be anything left on them but faded memories of what was. As one of the original manufactures of MiniDVs, we know that the technology inside the hardware – while revolutionary at the time – won’t last forever. Like other analog film formats of the day, it was never meant to. But that doesn’t mean those precious memories can’t be preserved forever. Our MiniDV to DVD service can take your old tapes and digitize every frame of film onto a DVD, thumb drive or the cloud. That means your memories are officially future-proof and you no longer require the whole camcorder and TV connector wire setup mess to play your old DVs (assuming you even still have your old camcorder). As one of film’s past and present pioneers, we’ve prided ourselves in helping you capture those memorable moments over the decades, and we want to help you keep them. With Kodak Digitizing, we’ll send you a crush-proof box with pre-paid FedEx shipping and tracking (both ways). After our team of digital experts completes the conversion process, we’ll return all your original tapes, plus give you digital copies to easily share and commemorate with friends and family. Get ready to laugh, cry and visit every other emotion in between.
• Transfer 16mm Film to DVD or Digital — 16mm Film Transfer Reel in the memories. Roll out the digital. If your grandparents were tech savvy enough – or just overly nostalgic – then you may be lucky enough to have some 16mm film treasures hidden away. As one of the earliest video film formats, 16mm was stored on reels, shown on projectors and was (you guessed it) 16mm wide. And being one of the original film formats to hit the public, it makes it priority number one for digitizing for two reasons: For starters, film was a place to store your favorite movies and home recordings, but it was never meant to keep them forever. The technology wasn’t future proof no matter how well you stored those reels. Think of it as if it was like a house to rent, and unfortunately for your memories, eviction is just around the corner. Secondly, do you even have a capable projector – let alone know where to easily find one? Didn’t think so. But, that doesn’t mean all hope is lost when it comes to that old-school dose of nostalgia. Being one of the few film companies that was around before the creation of 16mm, we’re well-versed in the technology’s limits because we helped introduce it. And now, we’re here to help you preserve it through our fast and easy digitization process. Back in the early 20th century, when the movie industry was just taking off, 35mm film was the norm. The problem was it was expensive and the equipment cumbersome. Unless you had a movie lot and crew (which, clearly the average American family had neither), capturing moments on film was an unrealistic dream. But by 1923, Eastman Kodak (that’s us!) released 16mm film as a more affordable amateur alternative to 35mm film. While Hollywood may not have been all that impressed, the smaller and less expensive 16mm film unlocked possibilities that once weren’t attainable for home filmmakers, amateur photographers, artists, educators, travelers, business and the government, like being the exclusive film used to capture events in WWII. We even commissioned a 16mm Kodascope Library back in the mid 1900s that became one of the first “buy or rent” film models, helping promote the format (and other future film formats). On top of all those various industry doors opening, 16mm was also a safer format than 35mm. It used acetate safety as a film base, whereas 35mm film used a nitrate base that made it a highly combustible format. Yikes! While that history lesson may be intriguing, it still doesn’t detract from the fact that your 16mm film’s life is nearing expiration, but only if you let it. Instead, let our team of qualified film technicians bring your analog film into the digital world – to DVD, thumb drive or the cloud. We convert thousands of feet of 16mm film in our studio every day, making sure each frame is crisp, color adjusted and rendered the best it possibly can be. We may even discover that some of your 16mm film had sound that wasn’t previously known. Just send us your reels in our pre-paid, crushproof and roundtrip shipping box, and we’ll take care of the rest – literally, safely and carefully digitizing every memory packed into each and every frame. We’ll even send you updates throughout the process, so you’re never in the dark about what’s happening. When we’re done with our conversion process, we’ll mail your original reels back along with the new digital formats. Your 16mm film is an aging relic – don’t let the moments of an unforgettable past fade away. Convert today!
