Frame by Frame Film Transfer - $.12 / foot

For 8mm Film and Super8 Film

Frame by frame transfer is available for all 8mm, super8, sound and silent.

Frame by frame transfer is the most ideal transfer if you would like to make stills from your footage. We highly recommend having your home movies transferred to a hard drive so that you can capture stills from the images.

Experience the Difference- Memories3 Frame by Frame Software

With frame by frame transfer, you benefit from our Memories3 Frame by Frame Software. Our Memories3 software watches your film and pays attention to color, brightness, and content- absorbing the specifics of your footage. Then, Memories3 chooses the best spots to insert frames to complete the video feed. Thus, the frames that Memories3 Frame by Frame software chooses are tailor-made for your specific film reel, resulting in a crisp and clear picture.

Five Digits uses our unique, proprietary projectors to transfer the film. The projectors have been modified with a PLL circuit which locks the shutter speed to the video phase. Then, we can run the projector at 20 frames per second. With a three bladed shutter, this becomes 60 fields per second. We then extract the original frame from the 60 field-per-second video signal and duplicate it, so that the final NTSC DV signal is a stream of progressive pictures of film.

We modified Kino to all this in real-time while capturing, along with other processing such as gamma adjustment. The resulting transfer is ultimately a 2:2 pulldown transfer, resulting in a picture that retains the most film-like aesthetics.

Premium Film Transfer - $.18 / foot

Currently available for 8mm Film and Super8 Film

Premium film transfer utilizes the newest advancements in high-definition cameras to digitize your 8mm and super8 film.

Our Premium Film Transfer combines the best of the viewing and editing benefits. We capture the film footage with a JVC GY-HD100 HD720p High-Definition camera. This elite quality camera uses a digital signal resulting in the truest image and clearest color that a camera will allow. You have your choice of output media between a DVD and a hard drive.

Currently, the Premium Transfers will be put onto a standard format DVD. The DVD will be excellent for viewing because of the high definition camera that captured the files. Five Digits is looking forward to the the standardization of high-definition DVD players and discs, so that we may produce a high-definition DVD for these film transfers as well! As soon as a standard format is in place, we'll be pleased to offer you the high definition files of your home movies on DVD.

If you would currently like to have a copy of the high-definition files, a hard drive is the ideal output media. The hard drive is essential for those who wish to edit the high-definition footage at home. If you order a hard drive with your Premium transfer, you will receive two files:
1. HD MPEG- with a resolution 1280x720 and a bit rate 19.7 mbs
2. AVI- with a resolution 720x480
