Before smartphones and camcorders, home movies were shot on 8mm film. The most popular was Super 8mm film which offered cartridge loading, gave you 50% larger frame size and electric-powered cameras. Kodachrome's excellent archival qualities mean that old 8mm film can still appear remarkably fresh if stored in the correct conditions.

Since 1996 Photo-60 has been Video transferring old 8mm home movies. First it was 8mm to VHS, in 2003 we started 8mm to DVD and currently we offer 8mm to Blu Ray or to a digital copy. Photo-60 with the latest telecine equipment can capture and preserve those old homes movies to a custom made DVD or blu ray. You have your choice of having the movies captured in high definition (HD) or standard definition (SD). High definition captures offers 1920x1080 resolution while standard definition captures at 720x480. For viewing the video onto a HDTV I would strongly suggest getting the 8mm captured onto a Blu Ray and High Definition Digital Files, for crystal clear images.

Why Choose 8mm to DVD

The most popular format is 8mm to dvd. Nowadays about 95% of the population has a DVD player in their house holds. Our 8mm to DVD transfers are 99% compatible with current dvd players. There is no more need for the hassle of fast forwarding or rewinding that is associated with a VHS. Each reels becomes its own chapter onto the DVD. We can title the menus and chapters to the customers request. Making navigating to the exact point that you want hassle free.

Why Choose 8mm to Blu Ray

Blu Ray offers the same navigational benefits as the DVD, but in a higher resolution. 2x the resolution of 8mm to DVD. Perfect for viewing on high definition TVs. For ultimate clarity choose high definition transfers. Downside is that majority of people do not have a blu ray player. If you do have a blu ray player we also offer the 8mm transferred to a digital copy (Apple ProRes or AVI). Connect your laptop to a HD TV and play the files from your computer to the HD TV.

Why Choose the Digital Copy

The Digital Copies are the master files. Both the DVD and the Blur ray is made from the digital copies. The digital copies have no compression so there is no loss of quality. We can supply the 8mm digital copies in either Apple ProRes files or Avi files. The 8mm digital copies are perfect for editing in any video editing software. You can also upload the digital copy file to your favorite video sharing website. Youtube, Vimeo or Facebook.
