There is nothing more magical than home movies to tell the stories of birthday parties, parades, sporting events, cherished holiday moments, ceremonies, and family vacations. Unfortunately with older media formats, the technology that we once used to project or play these movies is no longer manufactured or unable to be fixed if broken. This is true of home movies on film but also of movies on the camcorders popular in the 80’s and 90’s. Now with digital streaming, even DVD players are disappearing from homes.
Don’t let your precious movie memories be lost to time. At Gold Star Photo Solutions, we can help you convert all of your media to a digital format. Not only can playback be controlled in the familiar slider format that will allow you to locate any point within your movie without having to fast forward or rewind, but the digital file can be saved in multiple locations including the Cloud.
We can convert the following formats to digital:
- VHS, VHS-C, and S-VHS Tapes
- 8mm, HI8, and Digital8 Cassette Tapes
- Mini DV Cassette Tapes
- Betamax and U-matic Tapes
- Multiple DVD Formats
- 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm Film
- Audio Tape:
- Reel-to-Reel
- 8 Track
- Cassette
- Older Digital Formats on Legacy Media:
- Floppy and ZIP Drives
- SD Cards
- Old Hard Drives
Once this media is converted to a modern format – it can be shared, streamed, and played on most phones, tablets, and computers. Gold Star also offers color restoration and editing services.
