Description: *Please Read Number 4 if you have a quantity under 4 each. 1. This auction is for a SERVICE for transferring your personal family SILENT old home movie film (NO SOUND) which includes Regular 8mm, Super 8 and 16mm. If you do have sound on your movie film and you want the sound transferred with your film please message me here on eBay before purchasing. If you send your SOUND film without notification then it will be run as silent film. I will create a custom eBay auction just for your sound movie film if you decide to purchase and want your soundtrack transferred from your film. Transferring the sound (the correct way) off of Super 8 and 16mm is a very tedious process and requires a lot of extra work and attention in order for it to be done the proper way. After you purchase you will then receive shipping information for where to send your movie film. This is an eBay rule that we have to abide by and can no longer show our address in these auctions. 2. Please do not hesitate to contact me here through eBay if you are trying to figure out how much film you have. If you can give me the diameter of your movie film reels and the quantities, I can give you the footage count. 3. PLEASE put your movie film reels in order IF you are wanting them in the proper sequence. Some customers will just put a sticky note on each reel numbering 1, 2, 3, etc. Just number them however you need to so I will know the order you want them in. The sequence or order of your film will apply more to those wanting a DVD, Blu Ray or a YouTube upload. If you don't care about the order of your film then just let me know after purchase. 4. If you are somewhat skeptical then most certainly feel free to purchase 1, 2 or 3 each (50 foot or 3") reels for a demo transfer to be sure that you are going to like the results. We do transfers for everyone from the individual who has their personal home movie film to movie producers needing film transferred for editing into their movies. Our quality will most certainly not be beaten. If you purchase a quantity of 1 each to 3 each for Demo purposes then you will receive a QuickTime.mov file ONLY from each movie film reel that will be EMAILED to you. No DVD or Blu Ray is included in the Demo purchase (1-3 each). You will be responsible for return shipping charges (for your movie film) back to you. PLEASE CONTACT ME HERE BEFORE PURCHASING THIS AUCTION IF YOU HAVE A DEMO QUANTITY OF 1-3 each (3" or 50 foot rolls) so I can create an eBay DEMO auction just for your project which will include your shipping charges for shipping your film back to you. THIS AUCTION IS NOT FOR DEMO PURCHASES OF 1 EACH TO 3 EACH. For quantities of 4 each and more just treat this auction as it is. Thank you. 5. We do frame by frame scanning which is the best process available in todays technology. 6. RETURN SHIPPING IS ALWAYS FREE USING USPS MEDIA MAIL. 7. Delivery Schedule. Please check with me on my current delivery schedule for your movie film transfer IF this is critical for you and you need it sooner. 8. FEEDBACK-Please check out our feedback. You will notice that it is only for movie film transfers. There might be an occasional auction to sell off old equipment from my film transfer and video production studio but that is it. My specialty here on eBay is transferring your old home movie film to a media of your choice. Please compare our movie film transfer feedback to others and make sure they have movie film transfer feedback as well so you can at least do a fair comparison. We have been in business since 1980. 9. HOME MOVIE FILM DETERIORATION--------VINEGAR EFFECT What do we mean by the "Vinegar Effect" or what we normally call the "Vinegar Syndrome"?All cellulose motion picture film deteriorates even when stored in a clean, dry and cool place over time. While this can take years to deteriorate it would be prudent to regularly inspect your movie film. Regular 8mm, Super 8 and 16mm film are made from tri acetate cellulose and over time the chemical compound can react and cause the start of decomposition which in it's early stages starts giving off a typical "Vinegar Smell", hence the name "Vinegar Syndrome". This is a condition caused by the outgassing of acetic acid from the film base. The appropriately named vinegar effect is characterized by the strong odor given off by the film. The strength of the smell is not an accurate way to determine the overall condition of the deteriorating films. Do not be too discouraged if your 8mm, super 8 or 16mm smells of vinegar as the smell could be in the early stages of your film breaking down but can still be transferred. I highly recommend to get your movie films transferred as soon as possible. I've seen some film come thru our studio where the film has curled or warped so badly that it was almost impossible to work with for the transfer. Obviously, this film was in it's latter stage of deterioration. We eventually do get them transferred but it is always very time consuming and very costly for the customer. GET YOUR MOVIE FILMS TRANSFERRED NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. Your family history and nostalgic memories are at risk of being lost forever due to film deterioration and NOW is the time to take positive action to hand down your family trust and knowledge in a medium that will last for a very very long time in a DVD, Blu Ray or Digital file (QuickTime) format for safe archival storage. ********* SPECIAL NOTE: 10. WE WILL NOT TRANSFER ANY TYPE OF PORNOGRAPHY. THIS AUCTION IS FOR TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL FAMILY HOME MOVIE FILMS ONLY TO DVD, BLU RAY, QUICKTIME.MOV FILES OR YOUTUBE.
