8MM Film Silent or with Audio

There is 4 Types of 8MM film,
Double 8 - This was originally 16mm film. You would film one side, then remove and turn over the reel to film the other side. Once processed, the film was cut down the middle to create two lengths of 8mm film. This provided approximately 4 to 4.5 minutes of film per Reel.
Standard 8 -This was usually supplied on a reel and typically recorded up to 4 minutes of film.
Super 8 - (Could be Silent or Audio ) This was usually supplied in an enclosed film cartridge and typically recorded up to 4 minutes.

Converting film to digital format,
it is more expensive due to the extensive time post-processing required.
Editing, cropping, stabilizing, and upscaling the footage all require significant time and effort.
Furthermore, to achieve high-quality results, our machine captures a single photo of each frame,
which also adds to the overall processing time.
UPDATE, we can do 8mm or 16 MM film with Audio,

I can also add an Audio track of your favorite music, Just supply your Music CD, etc and I can add it.
