8mm/Super 8mm Film Conversion

Basic Conversion includes cleaning, repairing, and splicing film and adding leader where needed. You will receive a title and graphic introducing the film and a custom-made cover and dvd disc. No editing of any kind including color and brightness correction, over-exposure and under-exposure camera flash correction, image stability, menu with chapter markers, or any of the other features offered in our enhanced conversion below. You basically get the exact same material as it appears on your film only in digital, dvd, or analog VHS format.

Enhanced Conversion is our most popular option. We use a broadcast industry-standard, non-linear editor (NLE) to make improvements and enhancements on your film. In addition to the features offered in our basic package, after conversion your film will undergo the following:

• a hands-on, rigorous inspection of each frame of your film to remove camera flashes caused by over-and-under exposure when filming. (To our knowledge, no other film conversion vendor offers this critically important feature at this price!)
• transitions between segments (fade-in, fade out, etc.)
• color correction to remove gamma saturation common to 8mm home movies.
• removal of poorly developed (black) or blank segments of film.
• Unlimited, custom-created titling or captions.
• DVD custom-made motion menus
• DVD chapter markers
• Music - Audio Narration (optional)
• REVIEW DVD (optional)

We now offer out-of-house 16mm film conversions. Please contact us for details.

A Note: Of course, the quality of the transfer is dependent upon the quality of the film you provided. We can improve light & color somewhat, but we cannot improve poor focus from the original material or restore the heads that were cut off! Please remember, we didn't shoot the original film. Also, although we use audio enhancement software to improve the sound quality on sound films, the microphones and analog tape quality of 8mm films is less than optimal. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the audio quality or synchronization to video of sound films. We reserve the right to refuse film that is severely damaged or in very poor condition.

Hi-8, Beta I, II, & III, VHS & VHS-C Videotape Transfer to DVD

Wiregrass Montage offers the absolute lowest price for professional transfer of your Hi-8, Beta I, II or III videotapes, VHS or VHS-C home movies to dvd. If all you desire is to directly transfer your videotapes to dvd, our standard, mirror conversion is the economical solution. We will transfer your tapes in their entirety and provide you with custom-labeled dvds and your choice of packaging. We're sorry but we currently do not transfer Mini DV or Digital 8 videotape to dvd.

The Process

For VHS tapes and VHS-C tapes, we use either a JVC SR-TS1U or a JVC SR-S365U professional S-VHS videocassette recorder, an AV Toolbox AVT-8710 Multi-Standard Time Base Corrector for stabilization, a Sima SCC-2 pro-color corrector, a SignVideo DR-1000 Image Enhancer, and a Toshiba RD-XS52 direct-to-hard-drive dvd recorder resulting in the clearest, brightest videotape transfer available. Hi-8 transfers are digitally transferred using a Sony EV-C100 VCR connected through the previously-named hardware components. Sony Beta & compatible types I, II, and III videotapes are transferred using a Sony SL-HF600 Super Betamax HI-FI VCR. If you want additional editing, titles, or music added to your films, an enhanced option is also available using an Avid Liquid 7 non-linear editor software solution.

Audio Tape Cassettes, Vinyl LPs and 45-rpm Records

We transfer audio tape cassettes, vinyl LPs and 45-rpm records to cd. See our price list for details.
