We transfer your aging 8mm & Super-8 Film to DVDPreserving a Lifetime of Memories! What Makes Us the BEST. . .We utilize NEW Technology based on photo and video components originally developed for the medical industry.  Each "picture frame" from your film is individually captured using specialized high speed digital cameras and multi-processor computers.  Quality like this is typically only available at much higher prices, however, for a limited time we are offering our professional quality transfers at consumer prices.  Remember, You Are Purchasing a Service:This EBay Auction is for the custom digital transfer of one 3” 50ft reel of silent 8mm or silent Super-8 Film to DVD.  Upon receiving your film reel, we will transfer it to DVD and return your original film along with your new DVD & custom DVD case.  The S&H rate is to process the receipt of your incoming film package and to return ship your film and NEW DVD back to you using SIGNATURE confirmation. Signature Confirmation now costs us $1.75 extra but this way your returned package will not be left unattended on a doorstep or driveway!  We value your memories! FREE UPGRADE:  Fade-Resistant Inks & Professional DVD Lamination Process!Every order now includes our fade-resistant inks and professional DVD lamination process at no additional cost!  This process costs significantly more per disc, but our DVDs will out-last our competitors & preserve your memories for many years to come! FREE UPGRADE:  Background Music with Every New Order!Our music adds sentiment and feeling to your silent family films.  We have carefully selected arrangements that enhance your family films & please a diverse audience.  We Use Only The Latest Digital Technology:In 2007 - 2008, we redesigned & updated our film transfer stations using only the latest film, video and computer technology available.  Much of this technology was unavailable 2-3 years ago, and as a result, our transfers look considerably better than services relying on older technology.Based on technology originally developed for the medical industry, our method uses high-speed 3ccd digital cameras to individually capture each picture frame from your film, frame-by-frame.  Using ultra-fast multi-processor computers, these individually captured pictures are linked together to form a continuous digital video file.  Once edited for precise chapter placement, exposure and color settings, the final DVD plays back in real time, but as a BONUS, you can pause the DVD and see a picture-perfect “still” image.  The results are simply amazing!  Just look at our sample DVD cover to see the high "picture" quality we achieve!  The pictures on the DVD cover are "stills" taken from actual film transfers.  During editing, we capture the images while the video is "paused" on a single frame, and copy it to the DVD cover.  Family members receiving DVDs as gifts open their presents to immediately see 6 - 12 beautiful pictures from long-ago!  Our Transfer Method, Step-by-Step:1.  All Films Are Thoroughly Cleaned using a gentle film cleaning product recommended by Kodak.  If needed, films are cleaned further until no residue remains on our film cleaning pads.2.  Your Films Are Transferred Digitally at a VERY SLOW speed giving our cameras enough time to individually capture each separate 8mm "picture" frame.  Multiple thousands of these “pictures” are linked together to make smooth motion video - much like how cartoon images are made into video...3.  A Real Person Manually Adjusts the Camera Settings throughout the entire transfer to obtain the proper exposure, brightness, contrast and color correction levels.  Although we can set this to “automatic”, we prefer the quality obtained from personal monitoring.  4.  We Professionally Edit Your Video utilizing one of our multi-processor computer workstations.   We remove totally black or white areas and adjust color settings in areas that have turned red or brown from age.  The final results look better than the original projected film!5.  We Author Your “Master” DVD complete with a DVD submenu showing picture links to each reel's chapter.  If provided, we will also add precise chapter titles in the DVD menu.  The best method is to give us a 6-9 word title for each reel.  If you do not know the content, we still provide a picture link to each chapter for easy DVD navigation.  You may also view the entire DVD from start to finish.6.  Custom Color Labels are Designed using picture “stills” from your film reel.  We print directly to the surface of your DVD and include an attractive DVD case with matching artwork.  Every order now includes our fade-resistant ink & professional DVD lamination!7.  Your Films and New DVDs Are Carefully Packed & Shipped using SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION.  This method also provides tracking for the safety of your films.  PLEASE NOTE: because of our slow capture process & attention to detail, even small orders may take 3-6 weeks to process.  You must setup a custom EBay Store item with us if you need us to guarantee a particular delivery date.  We can often make arrangements to work overtime & expedite your order...8.  We Standby Our Service and will fix any obvious mistakes if you let us know within 60 days of receiving your order back.  After 60 days, for a period of up to one year, we can send out exact copies of your standard playable DVD set, but can no longer make changes to you order, or replace the "master" AVI file set.  What Sets Us Apart From Others:Services relying on the older “Telecine”, "Film Chain", "Wetgate" or "Aerial" transfer methods are obsolete and should be avoided.  Most of these methods transfer film while it is moving which is never ideal.  We capture the "picture" frames while the film is stationary for superior results!More & more transfer services are upgrading to some type of digital "frame-by-frame" transfer process like ours.  However, there is a VAST selection of individual components that can be chosen to make this work - much like assembling parts to make a car...  The quality from one service to the next varies greatly.  Some will appear no better than the older "telecine" methods, while our transfers  resemble Hollywood Studio quality.  We know that what sets us apart from others is our choice of equipment and attention to detail.   We chose to select high-end photo and video components, some of which were only available for specialized medical applications.  Also, although we could setup our systems so that all of the adjustments are made automatically, we manually adjust the exposure, color, brightness and contrast levels throughout the entire capture process.  We also further adjust these levels while editing the video for your final DVD.  Scene for scene our DVDs are going to turn out better time after time.  Comparing Apples to Apples...Ask if they stop the film to capture a single digital image of each separate 8mm "picture" frameAsk if they use professional 3ccd digital cameras vs. consumer or "pro-sumer" grade camerasAsk if their "professional" cameras are new, or if they are 8-year old Hitachi security cameras[Used cameras are a popular cost-saving option, but technology has improved in 8 years!]Ask if they use long lasting, fade-resistant inks made by the original printer manufacturerAsk if they professionally laminate their DVDs to preserve the DVDs for many years to comeAsk if they ship using Signature Confirmation for the security of your irreplaceable memories! For Those Still Considering Doing It Yourself. . .You cannot achieve the quality of our transfers using a projector and video camera, regardless of your equipment and/or technique...  However, we realize that many customers do have the ability to edit their own video using modern home computers.  We can upgrade your order and provide the high quality AVI file set instead of the standard playable DVD.  You then get the best of both worlds - the ability to do your own editing with the benefit of having the best quality transfers already done for you!  Please email us for AVI pricing. We can setup a Custom EBay Store Item for your unique order.  Please Contact Us If You Have Any Questions Before Bidding:sales@cvsprofessionals.com Remember, the purchase price is for one silent 3" 50' reel.  Multiple reels or orders shipped together will be placed onto the same DVD. The shipping rate is to return your Film Reel along with your NEW DVD!  This rate includes Signature Confirmation to ensure the safety of your films.Do NOT send us copyrighted material (i.e. TV shows or 8mm versions of Hollywood movies).
