In order to provide quick turn-around and digitize your film at the best quality, we use multiple processes or methods during conversion. This means we are not able to guarantee that your film is processed in the order you send to us. The good news is that digital files on the cloud or thumb drive are very easy to organize simply by dragging and dropping.
Further, your digital home movies work great with software such as iMovie, which has great organizational tools built in. Can you enhance or repair my film? We use the same process as the Academy of Motion Pictures to digitize your film. We even correct for frame rate so your footage is smooth and at the best quality possible.
That said, the quality of your digitized home movies is based on the quality of the original footage you provide. We provide complimentary splicing if your film is broken. Items like mold are not repaired at this time as they can be very difficult and potentially harm our equipment. Common Questions How will I get my pictures back? Your scanned pictures are provided back to you on a convenient thumb drive, provided online through Google Drive, or on professionally authored CDs. Digital files are delivered as JPEGs that you can store, edit and share.
Please note that our CDs combine as many digitized pictures as possible onto a disc. Do you return my original pictures? We always send back your originals along with delivery of your newly scanned pictures. Will you keep my pictures in order? We use a variety of scanners and equipment for each order, to ensure the highest quality conversion for your photos, slides, and negatives.
Some photos tend to be more finicky than others and may require multiple pieces of equipment. Our priority is to make sure your memories are transferred at the highest possible quality. Do you clean or restore pictures? While we offer minimal dust removal, we do not offer extensive cleaning of each of your images. We recommend cleaning them before you send your order to us.
Restoring old or damaged photos is not something we do at this time. However, once your photo files are downloaded to your computer, you can easily drag and drop to reorganize, create folders, and rename the individual images however you'd like! You can also easily load them into the image editor of your choice and retouch and edit to your liking. Common Questions Do you return my original tapes? How do I get my digital files? We always send back your originals with delivery of your new digitized home movies.
Your digitized tapes are provided back to you on a convenient thumb drive, provided online through Google Drive, or on professionally authored DVDs. Digital files on thumb drive and cloud are the industry standard MPEG-4 file format. For quality, each tape is provided its own DVD, we do not combine them. What if my tape is blank? Please note that if a tape has even a few minutes of footage on it, we will provide the conversion for it.
The processing for shorter tapes is the same as longer, so tape conversions are charged per tape, not based on the length of footage. Can you enhance or fix my tape? We use the very best equipment, processes, and proprietary software in the industry to get the best conversion possible.
That said, the quality of your digitized home movies are based on the quality of the original footage you provide. In its heyday, the audio cassette was incredibly popular before portable CD and mp3 players took over. Mass production started in the mids the Beatles had five Top 40 singles out around the time of the Vietnam War and they were not just for recording mix tapes. The tapes were so small, portable and easy to use in a Walkman that they went head-to-head with vinyl over music sales.
You can, of course, do research on a cassette to CD burner. But our audio to digital service does it all! Most of the time it will say on the tape.
If the total length does not exceed 80 minutes we can fit it on one CD. If the tape has 60 minutes of audio on each side we will put each side on its own disc and label your CDs Side A and Side B.
You can do so many things once we convert your audio cassettes to CD! Import your new mp3 files into your iTunes library and create a playlist. If you create playlists in iTunes, you can use those in Spotify also! I am so grateful. Now my whole family can enjoy this treasure forever. Audio tapes are an interesting arena for digitizing because new equipment is still being made, but the best equipment is old.
For example, if you are looking to transfer simple voice recordings that were not recorded with much professionalism, new machines from places like Pyle or Ion — not names you know — might suffice. But if you are dealing with music or voice audio where the quality is going to matter, you need the old decks.
Beyond that, we use high quality pre-amplifiers and cables to connect to our computer environment where we optimize the digital files. At Cassette-to-CD we do exactly what it says on the packet! We transfer cassette tapes to CD. We also transfer Reel-to-Reel tapes. For details of this service and our charges please contact us.
