Secure

Your confidentiality and security are paramount. Your films will be safe with us. We use tracking services to monitor the journey of your media. The studio is manned and alarmed 24/7 and we take the utmost care to ensure your precious memories are secure whilst they are with us.

Digital

The process of digitising your films generates many thousands of still images which are compiled by our software to produce a high quality jitter free movie. This file is quite large, typically 1 GB per minute. A standard DVD will only store 4.8 GB of data so you can see that companies who offer to transfer your cine films to DVD will have to capture at much lower resolution or compress the files down to fit on a DVD. We feel its best to offer you the best of both worlds, If requested we can supply a DVD for standard viewing together with HD files for editing or viewing on large screen TVs.

Delivery

We scan your films in High Definition, and can transfer your cine or video to DVD , Blu Ray or supply files which you can edit, share, copy and distribute Its a digital service which ever you choose but we feel the most versatility comes in the form of files. The delivery method is your choice, If you choose Blu ray or DVD they will be sent to you together with your films, If you choose files we can supply a suitable storage device such as a memory stick or hard drive. All items will be sent by tracked courier so you can monitor the parcels journey to your home.

How to order.

1 Determine what format and quantity of film or video you wish to digitise, count the number of separate reels which may be 50, 100 or upto 1600 feet in length. We offer a discount based on the length of a single reel so remember to choose the correct option in the shop to get the best price.
