How it Works
Yes! We always send back your originals with delivery of your new digitized home movies. Your digitized tapes are provided back to you on a convenient thumb drive, provided online through Google Drive, or on professionally authored DVDs. You choose which way you’d like to receive them. Digital files on a thumb drive and the cloud are the industry standard MPEG-4 file format. For quality, each tape is provided its own DVD, we do not combine them.
Original Analog Quality, Captured and Preserved Digitally Digital MP4 File (most common type for digital files, works great on computers) 640 x 480 Dimensions (captures full size of analog tape) 1-2 GB Average File Size (lots of data, high quality) Fun Nerdy Tech Specs (for those who really want to know!) H.264 MPEG-4 AVC (part 10), 480p, 29.97 FPS, SD, Progressive, VBR 1500-3000 kbps DVD variable encoding M2v, compressed depending on length, authored to VOB
No problem, we’ll let you know and you can send in another item at no charge. Please note that if a tape has even a few minutes of footage on it, we will convert it into a digital video. The processing for shorter tapes is the same as longer, so conversions are charged per tape, not based on the length of footage.
We use the very best equipment, processes, and proprietary software in the industry to get the best conversion possible. That said, the quality of your digitized home movies is based on the quality of the original footage you provide. This is why it’s so important to preserve your tapes right away before they deteriorate any further. We provide complimentary splicing if your tape film is broken. Items like mold or broken tape housings are not repaired at this time as they can be very difficult and potentially harm our equipment.

Convert Old Film Reels to Digital & DVD Format
Rediscover and relive your treasured memories by converting your old film reels to digital format. Gone are the days of struggling with outdated projectors and makeshift screens. Modern technology allows you to preserve and enjoy your precious moments in high definition. Keep your family history alive and embrace the convenience and reliability of digital formats, making your memories easily accessible and shareable anytime, anywhere.
Don’t Wait to Digitize Your Old Film
You need to transfer your old films and film reels to a more practical realm by bringing them to the digital age with a professional converter right away. This isn’t a question of artistic choice. This is a matter of survival. Your film may be in the can, but that may well be its final resting place if you don’t get off of your tush and do something to halt the fading and degrading that is going on. Pretty soon you will find your Pulp Fiction is just pulp.
In fact, film actually has an expiration date of two years from the date of manufacture. Oftentimes, film lasts much longer but the degradation process will slowly but surely take its toll on the picture quality. The only sure way to ensure your video memories stay intact is to digitize them as soon as possible.
The good news is that old family camcorder films and homemade videotape reels are more popular than ever, but it’s only because they are being safely shown, stored, and shared in digital formats online and in the home. When you invest in our high-quality film transfer service to convert film to digital format, your legacy lives on for all to enjoy. A digital image never dies.
How Expensive is Converting Film to Digital?
Transferring film to a digital format is probably expensive, right? Actually, you’ve probably spent more money on theater popcorn than it would cost to digitize your film stock and transfer movies to DVD, and we’ve got your bases covered. We can convert any film format you’ve got to high-resolution digital video and we offer affordable options that fit every budget. Go ahead, try us. We digitize every consumer format of film created in our studios every day. That includes 8mm film, Super 8 film, 35mm film, and 16mm film. We’ve digitized film shot as far back as the 1930s and as recent as present day.
At Legacybox, We Have Over 10 Years of Digitizing Experience
We offer professional digitizing, splice repair, flicker removal, and premium mastering no matter how many feet of film you have. We will deliver the final product to you on premium mastered USB drives (perfect for transferring memories to a hard drive), digital delivery through Legacybox Cloud™ or DVDs. Frank Capra never had it so good.
We utilize a frame-by-frame capture method, ensuring smooth playback of your home movie reels. Our capture method records every bit of data in every frame of film. An average order has 75,000 captured frames. No sweat. No heat at all, actually. Our film capture process uses filament-less lighting, meaning that it runs cool and is in no danger of burning through your celluloid.
We’ve invested in the same equipment used by the Motion Picture Academy in Hollywood to convert film with quick turnaround times, so sit back in your director’s chair and let us take care of the entire process. We’ll keep in touch the whole time, and return all your reels when the process is finished.
