WHAT TYPE OF FILM DO I HAVE

We transfer every major film format available to professional or amateur filmmakers. From the earliest nitrate 35mm to newly shot Super 8 negative, we can handle it.

If you're unsure what kind of film you have on your hands, we've made this handy guide to help you through it. We've broken things down between the most common home movie formats, and the most common professional formats as well.

If you're still unsure, or just want to have us take a look, we're happy to do so! You can give us a call at 1-800-865-7172 or email us at info@mymovietransfer.com. You can even send a picture of the film.

HOME MOVIES:

Nearly all home movies were shot on Regular 8mm, Super 8 or 16mm.

The distinction between the 8mm

We price Regular 8mm and Super 8 the same, so if you're completely stuck differentiating between the two, that's no problem.

1-TB Hard Drive ($125): The transfer will be returned on a 1-TB hard drive that we provide. This $125 includes $50 for rendering out the files and $75 for the drive itself. The drive will be guaranteed through shipping, meaning if anything is not working the first time you plug the drive in, we will repair or replace the drive and the data at no cost. We only stock drives from companies who (a) directly manufacture their own drives and (b) who we've tested for reliability.

Flash drive ($80): The files will be transferred to a flash drive (16GB-64GB). This $80 charge includes the $50 fee for rendering out the files and $30 for the flash drive itself. Again, the drive will be guaranteed through shipping, and will be replaced with your data at no cost should it not work upon first use.

Provide Your Own Drive ($50): The files will be transferred to a drive that you provide. The only cost involved is the $50 to render out the files and then load them to your drive. If you provide your own drive, please make sure to select a USB 3.0 drive, and back up your files before shipping. We cannot guarantee any data that was written to the drive before we receive it. If anything happens to the drive during shipping, we can guarantee the data, but we will not repair or replace any drive not purchased through us.

DISCS:

Whenever we record DVDs and Blu-rays, we cap the run-times on each disc so that we can maximize the data rate available in order to give you the best possible images for playback.

Blu-ray ($34.95 per disc $19.95 per additional copy): Each Blu-ray disc holds up to 75 minutes of film. We use only professional-grade Blu-rays discs, and each disc is 100% verified before shipping. Each Blu-ray is broken down into chapters, with each chapter running about 3-4 minutes.

DVD ($24.95 per disc $9.95 per additional copy): Each DVD holds up to 60 minutes of film. We use only professional grade, Falcon Media brand DVDs. You will never receive a generic disc from our company. Each DVD is 100% verified before shipping, and our current DVD error rate is about 1 per 750 DVDs (which is considered an excellent compatibility record).
