8mm Film to DVD conversion: The Era of Short Films is Over

8 mm films belong to the genre of narrow films. These are all films with a bandwidth of less than 35 millimeters. There are very different versions of the 8 mm film. Do you even know which format your 8 mm films belong to? We have summarized a small overview for you:

8 mm films, also called regular 8 or N8, have relatively large, single-row perforations at the edge of the band, located above the boundary between two frames. The picture windows are 4.5 mm wide and 3.3 mm high. This format had its wedding from the market introduction by Kodak in the year 1932 to the replacement by the Super 8 film 1965, after that normal 8 was used only rarely. Most of today still existing Normal 8 films are thereby 50 years or older.

Double 8 films were made from the already popular 16 mm films. On the film are two opposing picture windows with the same dimensions as the Normal 8 film. There are perforation holes on both sides. After the double 8-roll was exposed on one side, it was rotated to subsequently expose the second row.

Let's your 8mm films to DVD conversion now: The era of short films is over.

What began in 1932 ended in the mid-80s with the beginning of VHS camcorders and the subsequent development of the digital film? Since then, many manufacturers of 8mm films, cameras, and projectors have cut back on production or even stopped it altogether. Only a few have a (functional) 8 mm projector at home; used playback devices are often considered collectibles, for which you have to reach deep into the bag.

Many 8 mm films are between 50 and 80 years old - an age that is already seen in many recordings. Heat, dryness, moisture, dust and the so-called vinegar syndrome add to the film material, can even destroy it completely. You can save the memories of the sensitive material by digitizing their 8 mm films. Thus, the moving images are no longer bound to the life of the material and receive a future in the digital age.
