True Frame-by-Frame scanning
?
Most companies run the film continuously at regular speed and capture the running film as it plays. Legacy Digital however uses it's special "Frame by Frame" scanning system which captures each frame individually in beautiful high definition with far greater color depth and clarity straight to our storage system. This provides you with a frame accurate, fully digital frame by frame transfer.

Film cleaned, reconditioned and lubricated
?
We clean and recondition your film. This re-lubricates brittle film, removes oxidation, and removes dust from your film preparing it for the best possible picture quality. We use the same film cleaners as the Hollywood studios. Watch out for those who save money by using isopropyl alcohol. That is a drying agent and will damage your film. Good film cleaner costs 10 times as much as alcohol but we believe you are worth it.

(Only available on this page)
Right now, for a limited time, we are offering our Premium Transfer Services for the same price as our Basic Service, a savings of 36%.

While the other film transfer companies offer lower-tech Standard Definition running transfers at 720x480 resolution known as 480i (345,600 dots), Legacy Digital's Hard Drive and Blu-ray options provide true Frame by Frame scanning at 6x their resolution giving you a much better end result.
Our 1920x1080 (2,073,600 dots) full HD 1080p resolution using laboratory grade optics that blow away the competition. This means you end up with a much cleaner and clearer picture - the highest resolution for transfers currently available in the film transfer industry today.
