TRANSFER OF REEL TO REEL FILMS TO DVD

Would you like to travel back in time? Let Hillview Computer Designing help, by converting your old 8mm and 16mm "reel-to-reel" film to DVD.

Many of us have accumulated quite a stockpile of treasured films on reels over the years, and wish we could keep them forever.

Films deteriorate with time and repeated play until eventually they're unwatchable. Don’t let your memories fade away. Put it on DVD.

Think what a joy it would be to watch those old family home movies that are sitting in your cupboard or garage! If you're like most of us, you don't even have a movie projector anymore, or if you do have one, the bulb is burnt out or the darn thing just plain doesn't work. We can solve this problem for you! Home Movies on DVD make wonderful gifts for family members. It's also a good way to preserve family history for your children and grandchildren. The best part? Instead of sitting in an old shoebox, your home movies transferred to DVD are now available to all family members. Transferring your home movies to DVD, complete with music and even narration, if you wish, is a fun, fulfilling, and rewarding experience. Why not get started today!

What We Do:

  • Using standard transfer equipment and advanced computer software we will endeavour to remove unwanted portions of the film before transferring to DVD.
  • There is NO restoration done to the original film. The film is projected from a fully overhauled projector, transmitted through a unit called a Time Base Corrector which allows us to produce a better and cleaner video signal, and then into the computer where all the editing is undertaken.
  • We transfer your film directly from your reels. This minimizes the chance of damage to your film.
  • Removal of where the camera has been facing the ground for long periods.
  • Multiple films per DVD.
  • Creation of personalised DVD and cover art.

    • We convert the following consumer film formats:

  • Standard 8mm Reel-to-Reel - Used primarily from 1932 to mid-1960's
  • Super 8mm Reel-to-Reel - Used from April 1965 to Present
  • 16mm Sound and Silent Reel-to-Reel - Introduced for home use in 1923

    • We can use a combination of Single-Layer and Dual-Layer DVD’s. Up to 2 hours of video can be transferred onto a Single Layer DVD and up to 4 hours onto a Dual-Layer DVD.

    Movies on processed 8mm or Super 8mm film are typically found on 50-foot reels, which are 3" in diameter.  Movies on processed 16mm film are typically found on 100-foot reels, which are 4" in diameter.  Previously consolidated 8mm or Super 8mm films are found on 4" reels (100 feet), 5" reels (200 feet), 6" reels (300 feet) and 7" reels (400 feet).  Previously consolidated 16mm films are typically found on 7" reels or larger.
