Regular 8mm movie film was never sold commercially with a sound strip but some people did attach a sound strip themselves. Super 8 film has the option but you had to buy the film with the sound strip on it and you had to have a sound camera and microphone. 16mm had both magnetic and optical. On the order form you can let us know if you think your film has sound on it. It does take extra effort to capture the sound and incorporate it into the requested formats. So, we do charge a little more for sound film.

We can not capture any digital audio like Dolby Digital or Sony Dynamic Digital Sound.

      

      

The above picture is just an example. 16mm sound film came in many different varieties. 16mm film with optical sound will have sprocket holes on 1 side. The other side will carry the audio track.

There is no sound on Regular 8 film. At least it wasn't produced that way. There were some people that put a magnetic sound strip on 8mm film themselves. There was also some test 8mm film with sound that Kodak used to prepare for Super 8 film.

Even though Super 8 film was sold in two versions, sound and silent, most Super 8 film is silent. Only about 5% of all Super 8 movie film has sound on it.

Akron Fun Facts: During the early years, the growth of the city was primarily due to being situated at the summit of the Ohio and Erie Canal. Akron experienced another spurt in population growth between 1860 and 1870 which can be attributed to a thriving coal industry, a major railroad as well as various manufacturing businesses that were flourishing during the Civil War. The arrival of the rubber industry brought enormous expansion to the city of Akron. People were migrating from vast distances, including from Europe to find employment in the rubber factories.
