Archival vs. Basic Conversion

8mm, Super8, 16mm

The Home Movie Store now offers conversions to stunning 1080 High-Definition. Your films are scanned directly into our computer. We do not record off of projectors. The clarity & color is unparalleled. Our exclusive technology allows us to manipulate, correct, and adjust the film without touching your original. This process not only restores the film, it often improves the quality of the original. We recommend your conversion be placed on a hard drive for long-term storage. HD Blu-Ray disc, Standard DVD, & MiniDV are available. Watch another sample here.
