NEW fill-in-the box of 8mm reels

Save your old home movies before they fade with time by converting your 8mm and Super8 reels to MP4 for the next generation to enjoy.

We can transfer 8mm reel sizes between 3” up to 7” reels. You can fit approximately 55-3” reels or 10-7” reels in the new 8mm Transfer Box. Or you can mix and match reel sizes as well!

The amount of feet totals to approximately 3500 feet when the box is filled up. 

Due to swift technological changes, your returned prepaid box order for scanning must be received back to ScanMyPhotos.com within 6 months from the date the order was placed. Otherwise, the box expires and no consideration, obligation or monetary reimbursement of any kind will be provided. NOT VALID for 16mm film or any other services. No credit for fewer items included in the box or film that is damaged or unable to be converted.

Our new and improved 8mm transfer system boasts several great features that produce high-quality movies:

Scene by Scene Density Adjustment - As your film is digitized, the technician will manually adjust a scene to ensure the best possible balance of clarity and overall look.

Manual Retiming - 8mm and Super8 film used to run at frame rates ranging from 16 to 23 frames per second, while DVDs run at 29.97 frames per second. To compensate for this discrepancy, other companies speed up the reel to match current standards, which causes the "silent movie" effect whem everyone seems to be moving quickly. Instead, we capture your reels frame-by-frame so we can retime the movie to appear at a normal speed.

Flicker Free Playback – With our frame-by-frame and manual retiming methods, the flicker effect that plagues so many other transfers is removed altogether.

Full-Frame Capture - We capture as much of the film as possible without resorting to stretching or distorting your movies.

** NEW OPTION ** MP4 Editable Format:

  • Become your own movie editor - Use your favoriate video editing app to merge all your 8mm movies into one file or clip scenes from various MP4 files to easily make your own compilation of favorite memories
  • Shareable - Ready to be added to your mobile devices so that you can easily share them with friends and family.
  • Transfer in Order - Each reel is used to create a chapter on the DVD. If you would like them in a specific order, simply number the reels and we will transfer them in that order.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Because we have found that Super8 reels transferred with sound can cause numerous complications and quality problems, we transfer all Super8 reels WITHOUT sound.

For our 8mm film scanning service your shipment must be postmarked within 30 days of the purchase date. If shipped after, the pricing will go back to our regular pricing (all coupons and discounts are voided).

Features:

  • As many reels put onto each 80 year archival rated DVDs
  • Typical 4-6 week turnaround may be extended due to Covid-19 restrictions.
