Very pleased with the process! Scott helped me with everything I needed and answered all my questions.
Extremely happy with the work that was done
I just got my latest film transfers back from Legacy Digital, and I had to say WOW. I am totally amazed.
I received some old 16mm films from my brother in law, that belonged to his Dad, and they were stored in the garage, some of them outside of a film can, some dusty and dirty. They are old WWII news reals, and other films. The edges were curing, and some of them smelled like vinegar, and I wasn’t sure if they would be able to be transferred, so I called Scott at Legacy Digital to come take a look and see what he could do.
They had done a great job on my super 8 films, and so I thought I would give it a try. He looked at them and said that they should be able to copy them. When I got them back, I was totally amazed. They were very clean and clear, one even had sound, which was a surprise to me, and some of them were also in color from back in the 40s.
I am extremely happy with the work that was done, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. They come and pick up the files, and then deliver them, so you don’t have to worry about them getting lost in the mail, and the quality is amazing. I requested 1080P frame by frame scans with a digital copy saved on an external hard disk.
Thanks again Legacy Digital.
Now our pictures will last forever
The team at Legacy Digital Productions not only converted our old family films to digital media, but they also returned the film reels to us in better condition than when they were provided to them. Some of our film was brittle and breaking. They actually reconditioned the film so I think the originals will last even longer. But we don’t need them because the picture quality from the transfers are amazing. Thank you so much for helping persevere these precious memories.
Thank you for brining the reels back to life!
My entire family wants to thank you for bringing the reel to reels back to life on DVD.
Although the tapes were old, the color and content were of the highest quality. Many family members lost photos in the California fires, so you can imagine the joy when they saw themselves on DVD.
I highly recommend your trustworthy service to anyone wanting to preserve memories from reel to reel tapes.
Can’t think of a thing! The communication was great and the product was exactly what I hoped for. Thank you!
Will use you again!
You did a great job. I will use you again.
The clarity of the movie transfer was Amazing!
Good morning Scott, thanks again for the work you guys did. Turned out better than I thought it would. The clarity was amazing!
Better than what we saw with a projector
Very satisfied, but you have to be patient.
I had 1700 feet of old (1950 – 70’s) 8mm and Super8 film digitized. Converted to both SD and HD formats onto a disk drive that I supplied, so files are quite large (20GB for 8″ reel – 400′). But the higher resolution (than DVD using mpg2 compression) is better for my purpose of video editing. HD is 1920×1080, but of course the image is still the original 4 x 3 aspect ratio (which makes the picture part 1440 x 1080) so as expected there are black bars on either side — but resolution is as good or better than the film (some sites estimate 8mm film resolution to be around 800 by 600).
It took about 7 weeks (they said 6 to 8 weeks), so be prepared to deal with that turn-around time.
But quality was superb — with the knowledge that film stock does degrade/fade over the years. But the video files that they produced was what was on the film, and in fact is _better_ than what I’d seen before with a projector, because now the lighting is consistent and doesn’t fade or blur towards the corners.
Very happy with my CD… was not aware of the service.
I always recommend Legacy Digital
I enjoyed my conversion with Carter today at the Carlsbad Village Faire.
I told him how pleased I was with your work for me on the 16mm film conversion and the slide conversion.
Any people passing by at the time I was near your booth, I extolled the excellence of your service. Any time I ever get the opportunity to do so, I always highly recommend your company.
It is always a pleasure to be able to honestly recommend products or services which I have found to be truly excellent.
