Starting an Estimate Please keep in mind, you will only be charged for the total number of minutes that we transfer. Your estimate is just that -- an estimate.
Please use estimate option #1 if you're just starting to determine what you have; use estimate option #2 if you already know the approximate number of feet (or minutes) in your film collection. We are here to help you. Should you have any questions or if you're stuck, please don't hesitate to call us at "081 735 30 11". We are happy to assist you personally.

Take Note: We do not use a "Wolverine" for our film transfers.
This is the transfer equipment we use.
Commonly asked questions:
 What is your transfer process? |
Unlike some other transfer houses, we do NOT project your film’s image onto a secondary image, (such as a silver-screen or matt glass) but rather it goes straight onto our high-end 3CCD chip industrial camera. This direct method is most important in achieving a crisp and sharp image.
Naturally, our transfers are flicker free! And ... read more about our transfer process
What our customers write about our transfer quality: read some testimonials
We professionally transfer film to DVD, Blu-ray or Hard Drive. Exceptional quality frame by frame transfer using Telecine in Full HD. Our equipment is far better than a simple Wolverine table-top scanner. |

How can I find out what kind of film I have? |
Recognizing the difference between Super-8 and Normal-8 FilmNormal 8 film has larger perforations at the edges of the film than does Super-8. In Normal 8, the holes are almost square. In Super-8, the holes are elongated and narrow. The film spools are also different. In Normal 8, the center hole of the film spool is smaller than the center hole of the Super-8 spool. In Normal-8, the center hole measures approximately 8 mm. In Super-8, it measures approximately 13 mm.
Uncommon Film Formats
We do not tranfer the formats below:

What is the turnaround time on your orders? |
It’s easy to find out. From this page, you are 1 or 2 clicks away from seeing your "Estimated Completion Date." As soon as you finish your free online Estimate, it shows you the ESTIMATED completion date. Sometimes we beat that date, but if we find we might go past that date, we will contact you.
NOTE: Our turn-around time varies based on how much work we already have "in-house" at the time your order is placed. (1 - 6 weeks is our usual) |
What if I am wrong in calculating my Estimate? |
We base our invoice on the total minutes of your transferred footage. For slides or images, it is based on the actual number of images. Therefore, it is only after the transfer is completed that we will know the total cost of your order. We then notify you via email, and that's when you pay for your order.
If you have under-estimated your total footage (or slides), your invoice will be a bit more, and if you have over-estimated, then the cost will be a bit less.
More information about our order process |
Does FilmFix process "undeveloped" film? |
Sorry, we do not. We can only transfer film that has already been processed.
If your film has not already been processed, please do so before mailing it to FilmFix. (Disappointingly, we have had to return 4 orders which were not transferable!)
To our knowledge, there are very few places that still process 8mm and Super-8 film. |
Do you add music to your transfers? |
|
Out of respect to Copyright laws and the great variety of personal taste in music, we do not add music to any of our transfers. |
Do you transfer sound? |
Yes – if your film has any sound on it, the sound will get transferred along with your image.
(Our price includeds the cost of sound transfer.) |
