8mm, 16mm & 35mm Film Transfer to HD 1080p & 2K
Primitive 8mm & 16mm Film transfer setups are still in existence and still widely used today. With This process, film is projected, videotaped then transferred to a DVD recorder, ie “straight transfers”. Dvds are then “ripped” using software to create Mp4 Files for the unsuspecting! Quality is poor, images are Muddy, Blurred and Film Frame is Misaligned with noticeable flicker.
