Film and video tape to digital files, USB or DVD transfers in Melbourne

Regular 8 and Super 8 film is transferred on frame-by-frame film scanning equipment. Every frame is captured separately, then built into a flicker-free, colour-enhanced movie while our technicians adjust colour, density and sharpness. Files come as standard 576p or high definition 1080p, saved to your hard drive or to one we supply. Film scanning has improved a great deal in the last two years, so don't settle for the old telecine method.

We now scan 16mm frame by frame as well, in 576p, 720p or 1080p, and we have a frame-by-frame 9.5mm scanner. 16mm was introduced in 1923 as a cheaper alternative to 35mm, and 8mm in 1932 as a cheaper alternative to 16mm.

We charge a per-reel fee with no hidden extras; others add set-up fees, a per-foot rate and a surcharge for sound. We clean and resplice your film as needed at no extra charge. If a film is literally falling apart we may quote to repair it, but that is rare. Call (03) 9855 0006 for an instant quote.

Most families have slides stored away somewhere, from a slide night after a trip to Norfolk Island or just the regular family snaps. Kodachrome was the most popular way to shoot colour for decades, and Kodachromes well over 50 years old still hold fantastic colour.

Our dedicated slide scanners turn 35mm slides into brilliant digital images on CD or DVD, ready to share online or print. If your slides have shifted colour over the years, don't despair: we have full control of colour during scanning and can often bring them back to like new. We also scan 35mm and medium format negatives. Ring us for a quote.

The Compact Cassette ran from the early 60s until CDs took over in the early 90s. We transfer audio cassettes, reel to reels and even 8-track to CD. Vinyl left the mainstream in 1991 but never sounds quite the same on MP3; we transfer old or new 6-inch, 12-inch and 78 records to CD so you can play them again, or more conveniently.

If your format isn't listed, ring (03) 9855 0006 or drop in; we may still be able to help.

We take orders Australia-wide: VIC, NSW, QLD, WA, SA, TAS and NT. Ask us for a postal order form, fill it in and send it with your tapes or reels by Express or Registered Post. We'll ring you when your order arrives safely and arrange payment. Include a self-addressed Express Post bag and you avoid a postage and handling fee.

Please don't send copyright material for transfer unless you are the copyright holder (proof will be required) or have written permission from the copyright holder, which must come with your order.

Do you have home movies on camcorder tapes that you can't watch because the camcorder doesn't work? Bring the tapes in. We transfer MiniDV, Video8, Hi8, Digital8 and VHS-C to MP4 on USB, hard drive or DVD.

Is your wedding video on a VHS tape but you no longer have a VCR? We clean every VHS tape and transfer it to a DVD authored with professional software, or to a file you can watch and edit on your computer.

Have you got hundreds of slides of your children, or of yourself as a child, but the projector is broken? Our slide scanners put 35mm slides onto CD or DVD as digital images, colour-corrected where they have faded.

I'm not in Melbourne. Can I post my tapes to you? Yes. Ask us for a postal order form and send your tapes or reels by Express or Registered Post; we'll ring when they arrive.
