More Information on Video Transfers
General Info
All video transfers are put on a Pro VHS tape so we can make all the necessary corrections: lighten and darken the film, color enhance the film, edit out blank spots, take out jumps, leaders, etc. From there, we can make a copy onto DVD without losing any quality. Now you have a master VHS and a master DVD. To ensure top quality, all transfers are recorded at SP mode-2 hours.
If all recording time is not used, you may return your Transfer City video cassette along with more reels and have them added on.
Arrange Sequence
Arrange your reels, slides or photos in the order you would like them transferred. Label clearly.
Movie Film Type
We can transfer regular 8mm, Super8 and 16mm.
If your Super8 or 16mm film has sound, the sound will be transferred also.
Background Music
We can add background music to your transfer.
Please specify the type of music you desire.
Titles
We can add titles to your video. Any title can be added before any reel, slide or photo.
