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.

Super 8 sound could be recorded with a microphone during filming or could also be recorded using a projector when the film played. The quality of the sound varied widely.

New Orleans Fun Facts: New Orleans, located at the mouth of the Mississippi River in southern Louisiana, is the largest city in the state and one of the South's commercial centers. It's a city steeped in a dark history as rich as its famous gumbo and crawfish etouffe. The city was founded in 1718 and named for the regent of France, Philippe II, duc d'Orleans. The area was alternately under French and Spanish rule until being sold to the US by France as part of the Louisiana Purchase of 1803.
