WHY CHOOSE US FOR YOUR 8mm AND 16mm FILM TRANSFERS?
Most companies offering this service will transfer your films by simply running the film through a
normal film projector and projecting the image on a white screen, while "capturing" the projected
image with an ordinary video camera. This method, while producing fair results, lacks considerable
image quality in terms of sharpness and colour and also tends to crop the image, causing a loss of up to
20% from the original frame size. Simply put, this is not the correct way of preserving your rare and
valuable visual family history.
AV Transfers uses only purpose built film transfer machines to ensure high quality transfers by
capturing the full frame size directly off the film using a cold light source which
ensures vibrant colours and impeccably sharp, flicker free images.
