Film Transfers: 8mm Film to Digital
Launched in 1932 by Kodak for many years, 8mm film was at the centre of the home movie industry. It’s what most people used to record their lives until the mid-1970s. In these digital days, we’re used to streaming our media online or storing it digitally
—but there are still plenty of people with old-fashioned 8mm film reels sitting around gathering dust. Depending on how the images are stored, they can deteriorate and you run the risk of losing important footage.

Film Transfers: Super 8mm Film to Digital
Super 8 film was first introduced in 1965, by Eastman Kodak to replace 8mm film for amateur filmmakers to capture motion pictures. Kodak also introduced a version of Super 8mm with a magnetic sound track permitting the capture sound as well as images.
However, unlike most formats that have been replaced by digital media, Super 8 is still widely used today by filmmakers who want to capture images on film rather than digitally.
Why? Because Super 8 film has a unique look that isn’t easily reproduced by digital technology. It is grainy but it also has an interesting quality that many people find aesthetically pleasing.
But for the average person, this format has since fallen out of favour with consumers due to its complicated nature: it takes up more physical space than contemporary formats; it degrades over time; and most importantly, few have the necessary equipment anymore to view it!
At VideoMedia, we want to make sure those memories survive in today’s world with our Super 8 film-to-digital transfer service. We’ve helped countless people digitize their Super 8 films and we’re ready to help you. Your special moments don’t need to be trapped in the past – they can get a new life as digital movies that you can share and enjoy with friends and family for years to come.
