• From the 1930s through the 1980s, 8mm and Super
  8mm cameras were the most popular type of home
  movie recording equipment. Now that weve entered
  the digital era, its possible to transfer and
  restore 8mm footage in DVD format, producing
  perfect recreations of home movies and other 8mm
  memories.

• At Just8mm.com, we use whats known as a telecine
  method to convert 8mm film to DVD. This method
  uses a low-wattage, diffused light source to
  backlight the film, and then uses a magnifying
  glass-like device to image the film, creating an
  exact copy of everything that was originally
  captured on 8mm.

• Using the telecine method ensures
• that there is no way your 8mm film
• can be burned by a hot projector bulb.
• And unlike frame-by-frame transfers, our method
  captures every detail of an 8mm
• or Super 8 film without any bleeding,
• light halos, or other distortion that can
  compromise the integrity of a transfer.

• Our 8mm-to-DVD transfer method uses high-quality
  equipment that we build ourselves, which allows
  us to create amazing transfers with improved
  color and brightness. We automatically adjust the
  exposure on each reel, making dark portions
  brighter and darkening portions of the film that
  have been overexposed.

• When other companies use a frame-by-frame method
  to transfer film to DVD, it creates an inferior
  copy of the film. 8mm film was meant to be played
  on a projector with spinning blades when each
  frame is scanned separately, it cannot compensate
  for the space between frames where the blades
  would turn, creating a jerky, stuttering effect
  on the new video.

• By contrast, Just8mm.coms transfer method
  creates a smooth video experience with even
  better resolution than youd get if you played
  the video on a projector. Our pristine DVD
  transfers allow you to see 10-15 more of your
  film image than is possible using a screen and
  projector, which add texture and thus reduce
  resolution.

• In recent years, companies have begun offering HD
  transfers on 8mm films. Unfortunately, these
  transfers arent the improvement they first seem.
  8mm film is not a high definition format, which
  means that the extra resolution doesnt bring any
  new level of detail to the film. Additionally, HD
  video format is a widescreen 169 format
  transferring 43 8mm film to that resolution
  often involves cutting off the top or bottom of
  the frame.

• Just8mm.coms DVD transfers of 8mm film are
  written at an incredibly high data rate for home
  video (10Mbps), which allows them to capture the
  highest level of detail possible for 8mm film,
  without having to crop the frame to make it fit
  into a new formats screen resolution.
