My Story: I have been working in the technology industry for more than two decades, and have always been passionate about archiving old 8mm films and VHS videos. Recently, I completed a large collection of 8mm films that my father had gathered in the late 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Although it was a time-consuming process, it was rewarding to see the final results and relive many great memories. I have also transferred my own and other family members' film videos and enjoy seeing their emotional responses when they see the digital version after decades of storage. I have been doing many 8mm and video transfers and want to share my passion by providing this service to others.

Important Information

-
Due to factors such as manufacturer quality, storage environments, and film or video tape and age, these media items can become brittle and delicate to handle. We handle 8mm films and video tapes with care, but cannot be held responsible for any damage that may during the transfer process. If materials are not transferrable due to conditions, they will be returned without being digitalized. We do not offer editing or visual enhancements, and cannot restore or repair film or video due to its sensitivity to age.

The videos are converted to MP4 format with a resolution of 720p for optimal playback. However, the original quality and clarity of the footage cannot be improved beyond modern technology standards. While some color and contrast adjustments can be made during the transfer process, the age and limited technology of the film and video prevent them from being restored to high resolution.
-
Pricing is by the film and video length. If a film or video does not that the full content of its capacity, the price is the same as how long the physical length of the film or video according to the View Star Media pricing list. For example, if there is a 120-minute tape (2 hours in length) and the tape contains only 30 minutes of content, the pricing will be for 120 minutes.
