Reel-to-Reel Film
The Problem:
You've been cleaning attics, basements and closets and have found old reels of 8-mm film. Your desire to preserve old memories - to re-visit those moments when you, your children, or your parents were young is very important. However, 8-mm film eventually becomes brittle and breaks while running through a projector! At that point, the memories are very difficult to salvage and may never be recovered!
The Solution:
Transferring that heritage to DVD before the film becomes brittle allows you to easily view those memories so that you can share them with family and friends whenever you choose. With your memories on DVD, there is no hassle to set up outdated projectors with burned-out bulbs or deteriorated drive belts. DVDs are the modern and easy way to preserve the riches of old film.
