We can convert 8 mm film, Super 8 mm film, and 16 mm film into digital format.
Both Super 8 and 8mm films are 8 millimeters in width, but Super 8 film offers a sharper image with high-definition and audio capability, which is why it used to be a prime choice for Hollywood filmmakers. 16mm film offers double the width, which means it allows for more detail.
The easiest option is to hold up the film in front of a light source and use a magnifying glass to view film reels, but that is impractical, especially if you want to share your memories with others. Another option is to use a vintage film editor to illuminate and view the film reels. However, the best option is to digitize your film for easy viewing on your DVD player, computer, hard drive, iPad, tablet, or smartphone.
In addition to film, Capture can digitize videotapes including VHS tapes, VHS-C, S-VHS, S-VHS-C, Betamax tapes, DVCAM, MiniDV, DVC, Video8, Digital8, and Hi-8 cassettes. We can also convert loose photos, photo albums, slides, and negatives as well as digital media like data CDs, DVDs, USBs, and memory cards.
