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.

Columbus Fun Facts: Originally settled by Native Americans, the area that became Columbus (named after Christopher Columbus) was settled by white explorers in the 1700s and made the state capital in 1816. Roads, railroads and the Ohio Canal energized the city; during World War II, aircraft manufacturing brought additional growth. Today, Columbus is a fast-growing, major American city with a population of more than 700,000 and a strong economy that is not dependent on any one industry. Its leading employers include government agencies and manufacturers of transportation equipment, textiles, metals and consumer goods.
