Super 8, if you don't know, is a follow on to 8mm film. It was really the first designed Kodak format for the average consumer. 8mm was a by product of Kodak's professional 16mm film. Super 8 was intended to be the first mainstream video format in the world and it generally held up to that goal. Super 8 is actually still shot today by film and movie enthusiast.

Film shrinks over the decades. So running your super 8 film today through a projector or film transfer machine that uses the sprocket holes will damage the film. We get about 10-20 calls a week about people damaging their film by trying to run it through a projector. Same goes for these low-end film transfer machines used by local camera and video conversion shops and even the big box stores like Walmart, Costco and Walgreens. Make sure your film is scanned on a sprocketless roller based film scanner (like our Pro HD, Pro 2K or Pro 4K).

ORDER PROCESS

As easy as transferring Super 8 film to DVD seems, it is not. There are many factors that make it difficult to achieve a good quality transfer from Super 8 film to digital video. First, there is the resolution of the film. Super 8 film has between 800 to 1000 lines of resolution. So, your Super 8 film must be scanned at 1080 lines at a minimum to get 100% of the Super 8 film resolution. Second, the device or sensor being used will also determine the overall quality of the Super 8 film transfer. The better the sensor, the better the scan quality. Third, the ability to restore either original film recording issues or issues from degradation over the decades will also contribute to the overall quality you get from your transfer of Super 8 film. Lastly, the format you put the Super 8 conversion on will contribute to the overall quality of the Super 8 film to video conversion.

Better Film Tranfer Equipment Will Yield Better Quality Video

The best super 8 film transfer machines start around $100,000 and go up to $200,000. If you want the best super 8 film transfer, you need to have your film scanned by a motion picture film scanner to Datacine machine. Having your super 8 film scanned by anything less is like duplicating a photograph by video taping the photo and taking a frame out as a picture. You will only get about 40-50% of the quality that way. That's why we discourage anyone from using a real-time or frame by frame machine to transfer their super 8 film to DVD or other digital video formats. The datacine machine have the best sensors and will get the best reproduction from your film. So, this is what we suggest.

With the average age of super 8 film being 45 years you have to consider restoration. Restoration can fix both original recording issues and degradation issues. For example, if the super 8 film was shot under or over exposed, an experienced super 8 film to DVD technician can improve but may not be able to fix this type of problem. Most color shifting from degradation can be fixed or improved. Color shifting is a normal aging process. Most super 8 film will color shift blue. We can also remove the grain in the film. All super 8 film has grain and it looks likes hundreds of tiny dots per frame. We can remove about 95% of the grain to give you back a cleaner, clearer picture.
