Questions and Answers

I purchased the $300 value package for film transfer and plan to use the expert transfer method with my own hard drive. I have a few different size 8mm and 16mm film reels .Some half full,some entirely full .Is the final price at .38cents a foot determined by the actual total footage of all the reels combined or the general formula of feet per size per reel as indicated on the website?eg.(7in reel=400FEET) Are extra DVD copies also inluded in the $300 value price?? Is the shipping kit for $10 good for shipping both ways including my hard drive in the box???thanks

Thomas - we bill the expert transfers at a rate of $0.38 per foot and we count the number of feet based on the actual total footage (less any blank footage which is not billed) of all the reels combined. That is the best deal for you and we believe the most fair way to bill our customers. You can cover the cost of extra DVDs with the $300 voucher and those are billed at $12.95 each. The shipping kit ends up costing $20 and covers the kit and inbound shipping only. Return shipping is billed at $10 flat for UPS ground. The box we provide can be used for your hard drive, but we would recommend you use the enclosed bubble wrap to protect the drive in transit. Thanks for your interest and please let us know if you have additional questions!

I have some old 8mm tapes that need to be transferred. Do you place "chapters" or "bookmarks" at intervals in the DVD's? Is there any option for editing after the movies have been transferred? Thanks. Peggie V.

Peggie V. asked 5 months, 28 days, 4 hours, and 47 minutes ago - 1 answer

Anderson S.

Peggie - we automatically create chapter points on the DVDs. For editing, we recommend you request the files on a hard drive. Those files are fully editable after the videos have been transferred. Thanks for your interest in our offer and please let us know if you have other questions. Happy Holidays!

Hello, Was curious what your policy is if the film breaks during transfer.? I have some home movies from the fifties.looks in good shape but you never know..the reels are 8mm and 16mm..I would use the hard drive option.thanks

Thomas W. asked 5 months, 28 days, 5 hours, and 29 minutes ago - 1 answer

Anderson S.

Thomas - We clean and prepare the film prior to transfer to ensure against breakage. Our machines are very gentle and 99% of film has no issue whatsoever. Sometimes we do have film that breaks, but we fix it and continue the transfer in those situations. Only the most brittle of film is not transferable and we do our best to avoid that situation. Thanks for your interest in our offer and please let us know if you have other questions. Happy Holidays!

Anderson S. answered 5 months, 28 days, 4 hours, and 12 minutes ago

How do you handle really old (50 years) 8mm reels to minimize film breakage during processing? Do you offer any guarantees regarding film breakage? Thank you.

Sara B. asked 5 months, 28 days, 6 hours, and 35 minutes ago - 1 answer

Anderson S.

Sara - We clean, inspect and prep all film prior to transfer. We cannot guarantee against breakage, but if the film is too brittle for processing we will not run it on our machines. If it is slightly brittle, we can splice and repair and transfer the materials. Once we've cleaned and prepped the film we can process the vast majority of film (more than 99%). I'd recommend you send it in to us. Thanks for your interest in our offer and please let us know if you have other questions. Happy Holidays!

If I wanted the same photos on two separate DVDs, would that be one order or two orders?

I have three '200 feet' reels of super 8 I'd like digitalized. With the $100 worth Groupon (to be bought for $40) option, how much would it cost, in total, to scan the three reels? How much would shipping and handling be? What is your turnaround time?

Orotond V. asked 5 months, 29 days, 1 hour, and 41 minutes ago - 1 answer

Anderson S.

Orotond - The $100 voucher covers about 300 feet of film. The total to process 3 200 foot reels would be about $168 plus $10 return shipping (you can opt to use our flat rate of $10 for inbound or self ship). Our current turnaround time is about 2 weeks for film orders. Thanks for your interest in ScanDigital and please let us know if you have other questions!

How many feet of 8mm film is 6, 3inch reels? Where are you folks located? What is the "Bulk rate" for large quantities of film? Thanks....

Wayne M. asked 5 months, 29 days, 10 hours, and 21 minutes ago - 1 answer

Anderson S.

Wayne - 6 3 inch reels would be about 300 feet of film. Our headquarters is in Los Angeles, but we also have a processing facility in Missouri that specializes in film transfers. We don't have a official bulk rate, but if you have a large quantity of film, please email us the details at info@scandigital.com and we'll work out the details on bulk pricing. Happy Thanksgiving and please let us know if you have other questions!

Anderson S. answered 5 months, 29 days, 7 hours, and 38 minutes ago

I see on this offer that you scan 8mm film reels, but I went to your website, and it didn't mention that as a service. Is this offered? And when you say "6 3-inch 8mm film reels", is the 3-inch the size of the reel? And if I purchased the $300 value package, would that be 18 reels? Thank you!

Tony M. asked 5 months, 29 days, 13 hours, and 12 minutes ago - 1 answer

Anderson S.

Tony - the 3" reels refers to the diameter and is basically provided as a guide. We bill based on actual footage of film. A 3" reel has 50 feet of film. The $300 offer would cover 18 3" reels or 900 feet of film. Here is the page on our site with full details: http://www.scandigital.com/film-transfer.php To be clear, we accept film on all sizes of reels, but provide the guidance here based on 3" reels since they're the most common. I hope this helps and please let us know if you have other questions!
