How we save your Super 8

After you’ve delivered your 8mm reels to us by mail or in person, we’ll digitize your films

  • in high quality for easy viewing on PC, TV and smartphone.
  • on a storage medium of your choice or as a direct download.
  • with the greatest possible care, GDPR-compliant.

After your non-binding request via the form, choose how you would like to receive your 8mm films back:

  • as an MP4 file on a USB drive or via download to view your Super 8 anywhere and anytime
  • as a video DVD with a menu to play on a DVD player

Of course, both options are possible and we’ll happily make additional copies for your friends and relatives.

You have several options for delivery and pickup:

  • by post
  • in person in one of our Access points
  • Need your films extra fast? With our priority services, your cine films will be ready for shipment in 5 business days.

Highest demands for your Super 8: Our resolutions

With a resolution of 768 x 576 pixels, our PAL quality is suitable for playback on smaller screens.

Our HD quality offers you sharp images with a resolution of 960 x 720 pixels, suitable for playback on modern devices.

With Full-HD quality and a resolution of 1,440 x 1,080 pixels, you can get the best out of your old cine films.

With our WETGATE cleaning, even old cine films can be optimised for a maximum film experience. Our service includes the following:

  • Reduction of dust and dirt
  • Reduction of scratches
  • Extended durability of your reels

Our post-processing makes your digitised Super 8 shine even brighter, including the following improvements:

  • Film stabilization
  • Tone, contrast and color adjustments
  • Simple film grain and noise reduction

Most cine films are silent films, but not all of them. We can also digitize your Super 8 with sound for full film experience and more precious memories.

How can I tell if my Super 8 film has a soundtrack?

To find out whether your film has a soundtrack, take a closer look at the film tape. If there’s a soundtrack, you’ll find an orange-brown magnetic tape approx. 0.5 to 0.8 millimetres wide. Sometimes there are two sound tracks. If your Super 8 film has a soundtrack, we can also digitize it. If you’re not sure whether your Super 8 films contain a soundtrack, we can easily check for you. Of course, we only charge for soundtrack digitisation if your Super 8 films have a soundtrack.

Make request

First make a non-binding request. Your request does not constitute an order. You will then receive an order form, which you must sign and enclose with your packaged media.

Deliver your media

Pack your media ready for transport. You can then drop off your media in person or from a post office of your choice.

Digitization

Now it’s our turn. Sit back while we digitise your 8mm films. We complete over 90% of orders in as little as two to four weeks.

Isn't it easier to digitize my 8mm films myself?

To convert your 8mm film to digital independently, you need an original player, a video grabber, and appropriate software. In 2016, Funai was the world’s last manufacturer to discontinue the production of VHS recorders, and so-called S8-to-DVD copiers are only available second-hand. All this makes it costly to acquire the necessary equipment. Meanwhile, the time required to digitize your Super 8 film corresponds to the running time of the cassettes themselves, so even a modest collection could easily take several days of work with amateur equipment.

MEDIAFIX converts cine film to digital starting at only €6.95 per reel for top-grade quality. The effort for you is minimal — we transfer your Super 8 movies to DVD, so you can enjoy your favourite memories comfortably on TV or as MP4 on a USB stick for easy sharing with the family and further editing.

Does my 8mm film have a sound track?

Most 8mm films are silent. There is a small chance that your 8mm film has a soundtrack. To find out, take a closer look at the tape. If there is a 0.5 to 0.8 mm wide orange-brown magnetic tape, that’s a soundtrack. Sometimes there are even two soundtracks. If your 8mm films have a soundtrack, we can convert that to digital as well.

If you’re not sure whether your reels have a soundtrack, let us check for you. We only charge for soundtrack digitisation if your films have a soundtrack.

How long are my Super 8 films?

To find out how long your Super 8 film is, take a look at the film spool. You should be able to read there the length of your film in metres or feet.

Alternatively, you can measure the diameter of the film spool and use the illustration below to estimate the length of your Super 8 film. Please note that with this method you can only determine the maximum length of your Super 8 film. The actual length is often less, so the costs for digitization will be lower.
