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.
