8mm home movies were once the extremely common. Long before camcorders, home 8mm cameras allowed people to make their own home movies. Today, is is vital to transfer 8mm film to DVD before it is too late. Unfortunately, most film found today is in pretty bad shape. Older splices will lose their adhesion as well. Most people today do not have a film projector so the film is useless anyway. If you are lucky enough to have a working projector, each showing will continue to damage the film. If you transfer 8mm film to DVD, it can be viewed on any DVD player or DVD drive equipped computer without fear of damage. More importantly, it can be viewed easily on devices we use daily.

Parrot Video Services not only transfers home movies to DVD but will take steps to repair and protect the original films so that your family can retain them as a keepsake.

In addition to 8mm, Parrot is able to transfer the other common home movie formats, Super 8 and 16mm film, to DVD as well. Because most of the old formats were silent, Parrot will add background music for free. If you are lucky enough to have movies with sound, the original soundtrack will be transferred at no additional cost. Parrot can also put your films on VHS tapes if that is more convenient. It is recommended to transfer any Super 8, 8 or 16mm film to DVD, though, because VHS tapes will also degrade over time. The digital format of the DVD is your best way to create a long lasting version of your cherished home movie memories.
