If you are the winning bidder of this auction, GrafXpress Digital Studios will have your DVD ready to be shipped within 5 business days of the receipt of your film.  Everyone will be able to remember the old times as they laugh and watch the old movies on your large screen TV or home theater digital projector. For navigational ease in viewing your DVD, we will create a title menu, a chapter selection menu with motion thumbnails, and add a music soundtrack. See menu examples, below.   We place chapters breaks in logical places, based on film content, with pinpoint precision. For example, we might place a chapter right between a Christmas scene and a backyard BBQ scene, even if they happen to be on the same reel of film. This way you can jump directly to the exact scene you'd like, just like you jump to your favorite song on a CD. We would NEVER place a chapter break 10 seconds before the aforementioned Christmas scene ends, as might be the case with some other studios who use a set-top DVD recorder to perform a film transfer. AUDIO COMMENTARY: Feel free to contact us if you would like to add your own commentary track to your DVD film project. We will send you a "scratch disc", allowing you to preview your film and provide you with instructions on how to record your own commentary, identifying people, places, and events as the movie plays on the screen. A commentary track provides a means for future generations to identify more closely with the people and events in the movie. Switching between the music track and the commentary track is as simple as hitting the AUDIO button on your DVD remote control. No one will ever forget Who's Who in the family again!   This auction is NOT for the conversion of 8mm, Hi8, or Digital 8 videotape...it IS for the conversion of old, "reel to reel", movie film.Please see our other auctions for our "videotape to DVD" conversions.

GrafXpress Digital Studios provides professional conversion of VHS tape, 8mm video, Mini DV video, 16mm and 8mm film movies, and 35mm slides to DVD. Once your older media is converted to DVD it will last for generations. In addition, DVDs make your media easier to enjoy and they take up less storage space. VIDEO Although VHS videotapes were very popular during the last two decades, they are now being replaced rapidly with DVDs. The newer technology provides unsurpassed quality in video and audio. The audio on many Hollywood DVDs is usually encoded with a 5.1 channel audio track, making it sound as if you're in the middle of all the action. Pick out your favorite family VHS tapes and have GrafXpress convert them to DVD now before the quality degrades any further. You will find that our prices provide you with the best value over many other studios. VHS and VHS-C video, 8mm video (Hi8, 8mm, Digital8), MiniDV to DVD   8mm Film (Regular 8mm and Super 8mm) and 16mm Film Blow the dust off those old shoe boxes in the attic containing the reels of 8 mm movies that your dad took when you were kids. Although these are treasures in themselves, it's an effort to drag out the old projector and screen, set it up, thread the film for a new reel and spend hours flicking the lights on and off as you exchange reels. Wouldn't you get more enjoyment from watching these on a DVD played on your television? Once the films are transferred, you will be able to navigate easily, jumping from "reel" to "reel" with the touch of a button. Furthermore, we could collaborate with you to create your own commentary track for your DVD. One DVD will hold approximately 2 hours of your 8mm footage. We can make multiple copies of the finished DVD so other family members can enjoy it also.   Useful Film Information   Feet Viewing Time Super 8mm 50 2 min 55 sec 200 11 min 40 sec 400 23 min 20 sec Regular 8mm 50 3 min 15 sec 200 13 min 2 sec 400 26 min 2 sec 16mm 400 11 min     35mm SLIDES 35 mm slides provided everyone in the room an opportunity to view all those snapshots together.
